From 536fc240e7147858255bdb08e7a999a3351a9fb4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hisashi Hifumi Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 20:08:51 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] jbd2: clean up jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() This patch reverts 3f31fddf, which is no longer needed because if a race between freeing buffer and committing transaction functionality occurs and dio gets error, currently dio falls back to buffered IO due to the commit 6ccfa806.
