If we enable block_dump through /proc/sys/vm/block_dump and turn on debug log level, we can gather information about write process name, target file name and disk from kernel message. This feature is realized in block_dump___mark_inode_dirty(), it print above information into kernel message directly when marking inode dirty, so it is noisy and can easily trigger log storm. At the same time, get the dentry refcount is also not safe, we found it will lead to deadlock on ext4 file system with data=journal mode. After tracepoints has been introduced into the kernel, we got a tracepoint in __mark_inode_dirty(), which is a better replacement of block_dump___mark_inode_dirty(). The only downside is that it only trace the inode number and not a file name, but it probably doesn't matter because the original printed file name in block_dump is not accurate in some cases, and we can still find it through the inode number and device id. So this patch delete the dirting inode part of block_dump feature.
