12 * ext4fs 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.

38 * If we're not journaling and this is a just-created file, we have to
39 * sync our parent directory (if it was freshly created) since
40 * otherwise it will only be written by writeback, leaving a huge
41 * window during which a crash may lose the file. This may apply for
42 * the parent directory's parent as well, and so on recursively, if
43 * they are also freshly created.
