Subject: [PATCH 11/19] fuse2fs: implement dirsync mode
Date: Thu, 06 Nov 2025 14:34:00 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <176246793827.2862242.13201485872962605306.stgit@frogsfrogsfrogs> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <176246793541.2862242.16879509838698966689.stgit@frogsfrogsfrogs>

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

Implement dirsync so that we only perform full metadata flushes on
directory updates when the sysadmin explicitly wants it.
