From f84891289e62a74e9b4942eaad80617368b2d778 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Darrick J. Wong" Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2012 18:21:10 -0400 Subject: ext4: create a new BH_Verified flag to avoid unnecessary metadata validation Create a new BH_Verified flag to indicate that we've verified all the data in a buffer_head for correctness. This allows us to bypass expensive verification steps when they are not necessary without missing them when they are. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
