Subject: [PATCH 5.19 0115/1157] fuse: write inode in fuse_release()

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@...hat.com>

commit 035ff33cf4db101250fb980a3941bf078f37a544 upstream.

A race between write(2) and close(2) allows pages to be dirtied after
fuse_flush -> write_inode_now().  If these pages are not flushed from
fuse_release(), then there might not be a writable open file later.  So any
remaining dirty pages must be written back before the file is released.

This is a partial revert of the blamed commit.

Fixes: 36ea23374d1f ("fuse: write inode in fuse_vma_close() instead of fuse_release()")
