Ocfs2 devel - Aug 2010 - [PATCH 0/2 v3] OCFS2 bugfix in fdatasync and a cleanup

Hi,

  I've updated the changelog since the last version. Otherwise the patches
are
the same. They add a forgotten cache flush in fdatasync path and sligthly
cleanup fdatasync code. Joel, could you please merge them?  Thanks.

								Honza

When 'barrier' mount option is specified, we have to issue a cache flush
during fdatasync(2). We have to do this even if inode doesn't have
I_DIRTY_DATASYNC set because we still have to get written *data* to disk so
that they are not lost in case of crash.

ocfs2_sync_inode() is used only from ocfs2_sync_file(). But all data has
already been written before calling ocfs2_sync_file() and ocfs2 doesn't use
inode's private_list for tracking metadata buffers thus
sync_mapping_buffers()
is superfluous as well.
