Hi Ted, the two patches below fix ext4_sync_file() to wait for a transaction commit properly (return value of jbd2_log_start_commit() is not exactly what ext4_sync_file() thinks it is). It also optimizes / fixes sending of a barrier in some cases (e.g. in ordered mode with external journal we cannot really depend on transaction commit to issue a barrier to fs device because we don't seem to add inode to a transaction for overwrites). I already fixed ext3 in this regard some time ago but didn't get to porting the patches to ext4.
