Hi, this is a next version of my series of patches to fix sys_sync(). The bug could result in not all data being safely on disk after sys_sync() 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 the data integrity problem, the other three patches are various cleanups.
