[Ocfs2-devel] [RESEND_PATCH] OCFS2: submit disk heartbeat bio using WRITE_SYNC on behalf of Noboru

[Jeff Liu <jeff.liu@oracle.com>]

Hi Joel,

Last year, Noboru once posted a patch to fix OCFS2 unexpected reboot under heavy disk IO, which can be found at:
https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2011-December/008438.html

Guru has reproduced this issue and verified that the proposal patch works to fix it.
Could you please accept it? maybe it's better to merge it to stable-kernel.


Thanks,
-Jeff
