E.g. when we are journalling data, we fill hole through mmap, we will have block allocated as unwritten and we need to write it out so that the data gets to the journal and then do journal flush to get the data to disk so that lilo can read it from the devices. So removing filemap_write_and_wait() when journalling data is wrong. > This makes me wonder if you still need the filemap_write_and_wait in the > JDATA case because otherwise the journal flush won't have the effect of > writing all the dirty pagecache back to the filesystem?

Yeah, it should do that but that's only performance optimization so that we bother with journal flushing only when someone uses block mapping call on a file with journalled dirty data. So you can hardly notice the bug by testing... Honza -- Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxxx> SUSE Labs, CR
