Subject: [PATCH 0/1] nilfs2: improve the performance of fdatasync()

Hi Andrew,

Please add the following patch to the queue for the next merge window.

It fixes a longstanding issue of fdatasync() implementation of NILFS2
where fdatasync() will fall back to a full sync most of the time.  The
fallback is only necessary for a change of the file size and not for a
change of the various timestamps.  Andreas Rohner fixed this issue by
discerning these situations properly.

Thanks,
Ryusuke Konishi
