Subject: [PATCH 3/8] writeback: use WRITE_SYNC for reclaim or sync writeback
Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2016 09:25:45 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1458746750-9213-4-git-send-email-axboe@fb.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1458746750-9213-1-git-send-email-axboe@fb.com>

If we're doing reclaim or sync IO, use WRITE_SYNC to inform the lower
levels of the importance of this IO.
