[PATCH 1/5] [XFS] Use xfs_sync_inodes() for device flushing

Dave Chinner
2009-03-15T11:33:01Z

Currently xfs_device_flush calls sync_blockdev() which is
a no-op for XFS as all it's metadata is held in a different
address to the one sync_blockdev() works on.

Call xfs_sync_inodes() instead to flush all the delayed
allocation blocks out. To do this as efficiently as possible,
do it via two passes - one to do an async flush of all the
dirty blocks and a second to wait for all the IO to complete.
This requires some modification to the xfs-sync_inodes_ag()
flush code to do efficiently.
