Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ext2: Add blk_issue_flush() to syncing paths
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2009 16:12:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1231945948-23676-2-git-send-email-jack@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1231945948-23676-1-git-send-email-jack@suse.cz>

To be really safe that the data hit the platter, we should also flush drive's
writeback caches on fsync and for O_SYNC files or O_DIRSYNC inodes.
