When I think about this more I really hate the latter two flags.
There's really no reason to just do only either the submit or wait.
I'd say kill the flags for now and just implement generic_write_sync
as:
int generic_write_sync(struct file *file, loff_t pos, loff_t count)
{
if (!(file->f_flags & O_SYNC) && !IS_SYNC(file->f_mapping->host))
return 0;
return vfs_fsync_range(file, file->f_path.dentry, pos,
pos + count - 1, 1);
}
and we can look into replacing the datasync flag with something more
meaningfull later through the whole fsync stack.
