[RFC PATCH v5 09/10] fs: introduce new helper sync_fs_and_blockdev()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Overlayfs needs to call upper layer's ->sync_fs
and __sync_blockdev() to sync metadata during syncfs(2).

Currently, __sync_blockdev() does not export to module
so introduce new helper sync_fs_and_blockdev() to wrap
those operations.
