From 002bd7fa3ac7441bdb36df67b2c64bc8c1be5360 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2013 09:49:15 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: simplify list handling in ext4_do_flush_completed_IO() The function splices i_completed_io_list to its private list first. From that moment on we don't need any lock for working with io_end structures because all io_end structure on the list are only our own. So we can remove the other two lists in the function and free io_end immediately after we are done with it.
