12 * ext4fs 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.

39 * otherwise it will only be written by writeback, leaving a huge

41 * the parent directory's parent as well, and so on recursively, if
