Subject: ext4: remove i_mutex from ext4_file_sync()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=92e6222dfb85db780ebd8caea6a3f9326c375bc0;p=linux-beck.git

ext4: remove i_mutex from ext4_file_sync()

After removal of ext4_flush_unwritten_io() call, ext4_file_sync()
doesn't need i_mutex anymore. Forcing of transaction commits doesn't
need i_mutex as there's nothing inode specific in that code apart from
grabbing transaction ids from the inode. So remove the lock.
