Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ext4: Add fdatasync scalability optimization
Track blkdev's flush generation counter on per-inode basis and update
inside end_io. If inode's flush generation counter is older than current
blkdev's flush counter inode's data was already flushed to stable media,
so we can skip explicit barrier. Optimization is safe only when inode's
end_io was called before flush request was QUEUED and COMPLETED.
With that optimization we do not longer need jbd2 flush optimization.
