Subject: nfsd: use vfs_fsync_range(), not O_SYNC, for stable writes
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=face15025ffdf664de95e86ae831544154d26c9c;p=linux-beck.git

nfsd: use vfs_fsync_range(), not O_SYNC, for stable writes

NFSv4 shares the same struct file across multiple writes.  (And we'd
like NFSv2 and NFSv3 to do that as well some day.)

So setting O_SYNC on the struct file as a way to request a synchronous
write doesn't work.

Instead, do a vfs_fsync_range() in that case.
