81 * In short, make sure you hash any inodes _before_ you start marking

685 * sync_inodes() goes through each super block's dirty inode list, writes the
686 * inodes out, waits on the writeout and puts the inodes back on the normal
687 * list.
689 * This is for sys_sync(). fsync_dev() uses the same algorithm. The subtle
690 * part of the sync functions is that the blockdev "superblock" is processed
691 * last. This is because the write_inode() function of a typical fs will
692 * perform no I/O, but will mark buffers in the blockdev mapping as dirty.
693 * What we want to do is to perform all that dirtying first, and then write
694 * back all those inode blocks via the blockdev mapping in one sweep. So the
695 * additional (somewhat redundant) sync_blockdev() calls here are to make
696 * sure that really happens. Because if we call sync_inodes_sb(wait=1) with
697 * outstanding dirty inodes, the writeback goes block-at-a-time within the
698 * filesystem's write_inode(). This is extremely slow.
