| Hi,
|
| In function gfs2_evict_inode, there was a call to gfs2_log_flush
| that is unnecessary because it immediately calls write_inode_now
| which makes another call to gfs2_log_flush. This patch eliminates
| the redundant log flush.

Hi,

I've still not heard back on this revised patch from 09 Aug, and it
has not gone into -nmw. Perhaps it was missed?

Yes, I think that might have fallen off the stack. Apologies for the
delay. However I think we should check with Ben as this is the same bit
of code that he is looking at currently,

Steve.
