Hi Andrew, Please add the following patch to the queue for the next merge window.
It ensures that nilfs_sync_fs() function sends a cache flush request to the underlying device when required. The current nilfs_sync_fs() has a defect that it can skip the flush if only a small amount of data is written. The original cover letter can be seen at: [1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-nilfs&m=141061909728506 "[PATCH v6 0/1] nilfs2: add missing blkdev_issue_flush() to nilfs_sync_fs()" Thanks, Ryusuke Konishi -- Andreas Rohner (1): nilfs2: add missing blkdev_issue_flush() to nilfs_sync_fs() fs/nilfs2/file.c | 8 +++----- fs/nilfs2/ioctl.c | 8 +++----- fs/nilfs2/segment.c | 3 +++ fs/nilfs2/super.c | 6 ++++++ fs/nilfs2/the_nilfs.h | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 37 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
