[PATCH 1/2] Make orphan functions no-op in no-journal mode

From: Anatol Pomozov <hidden>
Date: 2012-09-17 17:47:44
Subsystem: ext4 file system, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: "Theodore Ts'o", Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

This avoids using shared mutext and thus improves scalability of
no-journal mode. The goal of this change is similar to 3d287de3b828
but it avoids mutex usage for all ext4_orphan_del(NULL,..) calls.
