Problem with JDB and per-BDI writeback

[Tiratat Patana-anake]

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.

Best Regards
Tiratat
