Hello,

as fas as I can see from fdatasync man page, and from the latest kernel 
sources (2.4.1ac3, fs/buffer.c), they are equivalent.

Using of fdatasync in database can gain significant gain on systems which 
supports it (on HP it gains up to 25% with pg_bench on PostgreSQL 7.1b5).

Are there any plans to implement this correctly? And due to what problems it 
was not implemented yet?

Forget this crap. Seems I missed these lines:
err = file->f_op->fsync(file, dentry, 0);
err = file->f_op->fsync(file, dentry, 1);
