"captured" by some atom. However, outside reiser4 context dirty page can not be captured in some cases, as it is accompanied with specific work (jnode creation, etc). Reiser4 recognizes such "anonymous" pages (i.e. pages that were dirtied outside of reiser4) by the tag PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY. Pages dirtied inside reiser4 context are not tagged at all: we don't need this. Indeed, once page is dirtied and captured, it is attached to a jnode (a special header to keep a track of transactions). reiser4_set_page_dirty_internal() was the internal reiser4 function that set dirty bit without tagging the page. Having such internal function led to real problems (incorrect task io accounting, etc. because of not updating this internal "friend"). Solution: The following patch adds a core library function that sets a dirty bit without tagging the page.
