12 * ext3fs fsync primitive
14 * Big-endian to little-endian byte-swapping/bitmaps by
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.

36 * akpm: A new design for ext3_sync_file().
38 * This is only called from sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and sys_msync().
39 * There cannot be a transaction open by this task.
40 * Another task could have dirtied this inode. Its data can be in any
41 * state in the journalling system.
43 * What we do is just kick off a commit and wait on it. This will snapshot the

74 * data=writeback,ordered:
75 * The caller's filemap_fdatawrite()/wait will sync the data.
76 * Metadata is in the journal, we wait for a proper transaction
80 * filemap_fdatawrite won't do anything (the buffers are clean).
81 * ext3_force_commit will write the file data into the journal and
83 * filemap_fdatawait() will encounter a ton of newly-dirtied pages
84 * (they were dirtied by commit). But that's OK - the blocks are
85 * safe in-journal, which is all fsync() needs to ensure.
