Hi, this series of two patches fixes a bug in sys_sync() which could result in not all data being safely on disk after this function returns. It also fixes the same issue in fsync_super() which leads to assertion failure in JBD with Jens's per-BDI writeback patches. The first patch fixes those two bugs, the second patch just simplifies the code afterwards.
