From 1c0eeaf5698597146ed9b873e2f9e0961edcf0f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joern Engel Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 23:30:44 -0700 Subject: introduce I_SYNC I_LOCK was used for several unrelated purposes, which caused deadlock situations in certain filesystems as a side effect. One of the purposes now uses the new I_SYNC bit. Also document the various bits and change their order from historical to logical.
