Subject: [PATCH 04/10] libext2fs: only fsync the unix fd if we wrote to the device
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2025 18:14:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <175573713407.21546.2184760292379016555.stgit@frogsfrogsfrogs> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <175573713292.21546.5820947765655770281.stgit@frogsfrogsfrogs>

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

As an optimization, only fsync the block device fd if we tried to write
to the io channel.
