Subject: [PATCH 14/42] fs: Rename generic_file_fsync() to simple_fsync()
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 10:54:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326095354.16340-56-jack@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260326082428.31660-1-jack@suse.cz>
The implementation is now really basic so rename generic_file_fsync()
simple_fsync() and __generic_file_fsync() to simple_fsync_noflush().
Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
