Subject: [PATCH 3.16 080/132] ceph: flush dirty inodes before proceeding
 with remount

3.16.74-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@...nel.org>

commit 00abf69dd24f4444d185982379c5cc3bb7b6d1fc upstream.

xfstest generic/452 was triggering a "Busy inodes after umount" warning.
ceph was allowing the mount to go read-only without first flushing out
dirty inodes in the cache. Ensure we sync out the filesystem before
allowing a remount to proceed.
