From 11475975dd3c0a8e639f1544ef6530373de5979e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryusuke Konishi Date: Thu, 31 May 2012 16:26:11 -0700 Subject: nilfs2: flush disk caches in syncing There are two cases that the cache flush is needed to avoid data loss against unexpected hang or power failure. One is sync file function (i.e. nilfs_sync_file) and another is checkpointing ioctl. This issues a cache flush request to device for such cases if barrier mount option is enabled, and makes sure data really is on persistent storage on their completion.
