Subject: fs: Propagate write hints to the struct block_device inode
X-Git-Tag: v6.9-rc1~12^2~12
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ea7d898676d9e94558c46ba927db35403362389f;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

fs: Propagate write hints to the struct block_device inode

Write hints applied with F_SET_RW_HINT on a block device affect the
block device inode only. Propagate these hints to the inode associated
with struct block_device because that is the inode used when writing
back dirty pages.
