Subject: What trigge fsync of file on last close of the open inode?
Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2006 14:53:12 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4522BFA8.9040000@us.ibm.com> (raw)
What triggers flush/fsync of dirty pages on last (file) close of inode?
I was hunting through the sys_close code and did not see a call
to fsync or filemap_write_and_wait there. Is it something done in libc
above the vfs?
Someone had reported a problem with a writepages call coming in on with
no open files (so presumably the file was closed, with dirty pages not
written).
