Subject: [PATCH 2/6] writeback: wb_start_writeback() should use WB_SYNC_ALL for WB_REASON_SYNC
Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2016 11:55:16 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1458669320-6819-3-git-send-email-axboe@fb.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1458669320-6819-1-git-send-email-axboe@fb.com>

If you call sync, the initial call to wakeup_flusher_threads() ends up
calling wb_start_writeback() with reason=WB_REASON_SYNC, but
wb_start_writeback() always uses WB_SYNC_NONE as the writeback mode.
Ensure that we use WB_SYNC_ALL for a sync operation.
