12 * ext4fs fsync primitive
14 * Big-endian to little-endian byte-swapping/bitmaps by
15 * David S. Miller (davem@caip.rutgers.edu), 1995
17 * Removed unnecessary code duplication for little endian machines
18 * and excessive __inline__s.
21 * Major simplications and cleanup - we only need to do the metadata, because
22 * we can depend on generic_block_fdatasync() to sync the data blocks.

38 * akpm: A new design for ext4_sync_file().
40 * This is only called from sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and sys_msync().
41 * There cannot be a transaction open by this task.
42 * Another task could have dirtied this inode. Its data can be in any
43 * state in the journalling system.
45 * What we do is just kick off a commit and wait on it. This will snapshot the
48 * i_mutex lock is held when entering and exiting this function

85 * safe in-journal, which is all fsync() needs to ensure.
