12 * ext3fs 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.

34 * akpm: A new design for ext3_sync_file().
36 * This is only called from sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and sys_msync().
37 * There cannot be a transaction open by this task.
38 * Another task could have dirtied this inode. Its data can be in any
39 * state in the journalling system.
41 * What we do is just kick off a commit and wait on it. This will snapshot the
45 int ext3_sync_file(struct file
* file
, struct dentry
*dentry
, int datasync
)
47 struct inode
*inode

50 J_ASSERT(ext3_journal_current_handle() == 0);
54 * The caller's filemap_fdatawrite()/wait will sync the data.
55 * sync_inode() will sync the metadata
58 * The caller's filemap_fdatawrite() will write the data and
59 * sync_inode() will write the inode if it is dirty. Then the caller's
60 * filemap_fdatawait() will wait on the pages.
63 * filemap_fdatawrite won't do anything (the buffers are clean).
64 * ext3_force_commit will write the file data into the journal and
66 * filemap_fdatawait() will encounter a ton of newly-dirtied pages
67 * (they were dirtied by commit). But that's OK - the blocks are
68 * safe in-journal, which is all fsync() needs to ensure.

76 * The VFS has written the file data. If the inode is unaltered
77 * then we need not start a commit.
