Subject: ext4: clear buffer_uninit flag when submitting IO
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7b001d6a0c0c7b92e989c2c3b1d8e151f1df1acc;p=linux-beck.git

ext4: clear buffer_uninit flag when submitting IO

Currently noone cleared buffer_uninit flag. This results in writeback
needlessly marking io_end as needing extent conversion scanning extent
tree for extents to convert. So clear the buffer_uninit flag once the
buffer is submitted for IO and the flag is transformed into
EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN flag.
