Subject: writeback: don't resort for a single super_block in move_expired_inodes()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.32-rc1~24^2~3
X-Git-Url: https://git.kernel.dk/?p=linux-block.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=cf137307cd9827495b65e7d74ea2b610daa9898b

writeback: don't resort for a single super_block in move_expired_inodes()

If we only moved inodes from a single super_block to the temporary
list, there's no point in doing a resort for multiple super_blocks.
