Subject: [PATCH 3.12 097/101] nilfs2: add missing blkdev_issue_flush() to nilfs_sync_fs()
From: Andreas Rohner <andreas.rohner@....net>
3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit e2c7617ae36b27f97643bfa08aabe27e630c1a76 upstream.
Under normal circumstances nilfs_sync_fs() writes out the super block,
which causes a flush of the underlying block device. But this depends
on the THE_NILFS_SB_DIRTY flag, which is only set if the pointer to the
last segment crosses a segment boundary. So if only a small amount of
data is written before the call to nilfs_sync_fs(), no flush of the
block device occurs.
In the above case an additional call to blkdev_issue_flush() is needed.
To prevent unnecessary overhead, the new flag nilfs->ns_flushed_device
is introduced, which is cleared whenever new logs are written and set
whenever the block device is flushed. For convenience the function
nilfs_flush_device() is added, which contains the above logic.
