Before applying this patch, we flushed the log tree of the fs/file tree firstly, and then flushed the log root tree. It is ineffective, especially on the hard disk. This patch improved this problem by wrapping the above two flushes by the same blk_plug. By test, the performance of the sync write went up ~60%(2.9MB/s -> 4.6MB/s) on my scsi disk whose disk buffer was enabled.
