From c05c4edd876b7ae92787d1295868afcb89b6a348 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:07:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] direct I/O fallback sync simplification In the case of direct I/O falling back to buffered I/O we sync data twice currently: once at the end of generic_file_buffered_write using filemap_write_and_wait_range and once a little later in __generic_file_aio_write using do_sync_mapping_range with all flags set. The wait before write of the do_sync_mapping_range call does not make any sense, so just keep the filemap_write_and_wait_range call and move it to the right spot.
