Hie, While looking at fs/sync.c :: sync(), I found out that: 1) sync() first calls wakeup_flusher_threads() which ultimately calls bdi_alloc_queue_work() with WB_SYNC_NONE for every bdi in the bdi_list. 2) sync() immediate then calls sync_filesystems(0) which does the same thing - it calls writeback_inodes_sb() which finally calls bdi_alloc_queue_work() with WB_SYNC_NONE for every bdi corresponding to every filesystem. If it is possible, then I wanted to know why there are effectively two calls which ultimately call bdi_alloc_queue_work() with WB_SYNC_NONE twice? Thanks!
