I have a question about JDB and per-BDI writeback on ext3 file system. I saw that in ext3_*_write_end function (e.g. ext3_ordered_write_end and ext3_journalled_write_end), the inode was added to superblock's dirty list for a writeback.
For data=journal journalling, it doesn't make sense to me. Since the journal will handle the write to the real sector on disk during checkpointing. What am I missing here? Thank you for your help. My name is Tiratat. I'm a PhD student from University of Chicago. I'm working on a project that will try to do selective journaling for random writes.
