[PATCH v3 6/8] engines: fileoperations: add support for DDIR_SYNCFS

Damien Le Moal
2026-02-27T06:01:00Z

Flag the filecreate, filedelete, dircreate and dirdelete IO engines with
FIO_SYNCFS to indicate that they support the syncfs operation. Change
the queue_io() function to use ddir_sync() to include all variants of
the sync operations for driving the call to do_io_u_sync(), instead of
testing for DDIR_SYNC only, which leads to ignoring other sync variants.
