From 20d698db67059a63d217030dfd02872cb5f88dfb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2007 11:05:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] splice: move balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() outside of splice actor I've seen inode related deadlocks, so move this call outside of the actor itself, which may hold the inode lock.
