12 * ext2fs fsync primitive
14 * Big-endian to little-endian byte-swapping/bitmaps by
15 * David S. Miller (davem@caip.rutgers.edu), 1995
17 * Removed unnecessary code duplication for little endian machines
18 * and excessive __inline__s.
21 * Major simplications and cleanup - we only need to do the metadata, because
22 * we can depend on generic_block_fdatasync() to sync the data blocks.
26 #include <linux/buffer_head.h> /* for sync_mapping_buffers() */
30 * File may be NULL when we are called. Perhaps we shouldn't
31 * even pass file to fsync ?
