From b436b9bef84de6893e86346d8fbf7104bc520645 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2009 23:51:10 -0500 Subject: ext4: Wait for proper transaction commit on fsync We cannot rely on buffer dirty bits during fsync because pdflush can come before fsync is called and clear dirty bits without forcing a transaction commit. What we do is that we track which transaction has last changed the inode and which transaction last changed allocation and force it to disk on fsync.
