From 3e624fc72fba09b6f999a9fbb87b64efccd38036 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2008 20:00:24 -0400 Subject: ext4: Replace hackish ext4_mb_poll_new_transaction with commit callback The multiblock allocator needs to be able to release blocks (and issue a blkdev discard request) when the transaction which freed those blocks is committed. Previously this was done via a polling mechanism when blocks are allocated or freed. A much better way of doing things is to create a jbd2 callback function and attaching the list of blocks to be freed directly to the transaction structure.
