Hi Andrew, Could you please queue the following patch in the -mm tree ?
I hope this will be sent to upstream at the next merge window through your tree. (probably only this single change). Thanks, Ryusuke Konishi -- From: Ryusuke Konishi <[email protected]> There are two cases that the cache flush is needed to avoid data loss against unexpected hang or power failure. One is sync file function (i.e. nilfs_sync_file) and another is checkpointing ioctl. This issues a cache flush request to device for such cases if barrier mount option is enabled, and makes sure data really is on persistent storage on their completion.
