X-Git-Tag: v2.6.31.8~68
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=75c1a3f1f6b164f280b7713a8b301e125ae86292;p=karo-tx-linux.git

ext4: Assure that metadata blocks are written during fsync in no journal mode

(cherry picked from commit fe188c0e084bdf3038dc0ac963c21d764f53f7da)

When there is no journal present, we must attach buffer heads
associated with extent tree and indirect blocks to the inode's
mapping->private_list via mark_buffer_dirty_inode() so that
ext4_sync_file() --- which is called to service fsync() and
fdatasync() system calls --- can write out the inode's metadata blocks
by calling sync_mapping_buffers().
