From: Greg KH on
2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

From: Dave Chinner <david(a)fromorbit.com>

commit 018027be90a6946e8cf3f9b17b5582384f7ed117 upstream

The reclaim code will handle flushing of dirty inodes before reclaim
occurs, so avoid them when determining whether an inode is a
candidate for flushing to disk when walking the radix trees. This
is based on a test patch from Christoph Hellwig.
