    [PATCH] put in-memory filesystem dirty pages on the correct list · b3e8feca
    Andrew Morton authored
    Replaces SetPageDirty() with set_page_dirty() in several places related
    to in-memory filesystems.
    
    SetPageDirty() is basically always the wrong thing to do.  Pages should
    be moved to the ->dirty_pages list when dirtied so that writeback can
    see them.
    
    Without this change, dirty pages against in-memory filesystems would
    churn around on the inactive list all the time, rather than getting
    pushed away onto the active list.  A minor efficiency thing.
