3.6.11.6 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Paul Taysom <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit c15cddd900e867c5adfb3c79596479dc5975f743 ] When msync is called on a memory mapped file, that data is not flushed to the disk. In Linux, msync calls fsync for the file. For ecryptfs, fsync just calls the lower level file system's fsync. Changed the ecryptfs fsync code to call filemap_write_and_wait before calling the lower level fsync.
