Cover letter [rfc][patch 0/3] sys_sync fixes and changes
Hi,
Unfortunately I had hoped to have my fsync patches for comment by now, but I have run into some problems with sys_sync and this WB_SYNC_HOLD thing.
But that code seems to have a problem with data integrity anyway, and fixing that seems to get things closer to working with my fsync design (without hobbling the alternative proposal), and not to mention simplifies the more common writeback and single-file fsync cases by removing WB_SYNC_HOLD. (sync mode now becomes a very simple "data integrity" or "not data integrity" flag).
I have 3 patches to this end, and would be interested in hearing comments on them.
Thanks,
Nick
