How is the sync_blockdev in the ENOSP path going to help it? It only syncs the block device mapping which XFS doesn't use it at all.

Not really sure - it's probably a left over from when XFs was using it, but still that makes no difference to ENOSPC flushing..

I think we can kill it...

Cheers,

Dave.
