From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Ryusuke Konishi Subject: [PATCH] nilfs2: fix sync silent failure Date: Mon, 03 May 2010 21:00:48 +0900 (JST) Message-ID: <20100503.210048.267730124.ryusuke@osrg.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-nilfs-owner-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org List-ID: Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset="us-ascii" To: Jens Axboe Cc: Linus Torvalds , linux-fsdevel , Linux Kernel Mailing List , linux-nilfs This is another fix for the silent sync failure related to sb->s_bdi. The commit 5129a469, which was merged to -rc6, let me know this problem. I'm sorry that I was late to realize this. Nilfs uses an own get_sb callback, and needed to set s_bdi for itself. I confirmed this patch made ->sync_fs() called as intended. I hope this is sent for 2.6.34. Please let me know if you have any comments. Thanks, Ryusuke Konishi --- From: Ryusuke Konishi As of 32a88aa1, __sync_filesystem() will return 0 if s_bdi is not set. And nilfs does not set s_bdi anywhere. I noticed this problem by the warning introduced by the recent commit 5129a469 ("Catch filesystem lacking s_bdi").
