X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=62a3ddef6181d7d932c565d97552d2f7b9ab4d28;p=linux-beck.git

vfs: fix spinning prevention in prune_icache_sb

We need to move the inode to the end of the list to actually make the
spinning prevention explained in the comment above it work.  With a
plain list_move it will simply stay in place as we're always reclaiming
from the head of the list.
