[PATCH 34/42] jbd2: Fix buffer head leak when writing the commit block

From: Theodore Ts'o
Date: Thu Oct 09 2008 - 00:20:07 EST


Also make sure the buffer heads are marked clean before submitting bh
for writing. The previous code was marking the buffer head dirty,
which would have forced an unneeded write (and seek) to the journal
for no good reason.
