Hello Linus, could you please pull from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs-2.6.git osync_cleanup to get a patch series that cleans up handling of O_SYNC open flag. After this patch series, it uses the same code as standard fsync / fdatasync. The patch series contains: Christoph Hellwig (2): vfs: Rename generic_file_aio_write_nolock fsync: wait for data writeout completion before calling ->fsync Jan Kara (15): vfs: Introduce filemap_fdatawait_range vfs: Export __generic_file_aio_write() and add some comments vfs: Remove syncing from generic_file_direct_write() and generic_file_buffered_write() pohmelfs: Use __generic_file_aio_write instead of generic_file_aio_write_nolock ocfs2: Use __generic_file_aio_write instead of generic_file_aio_write_nolock vfs: Introduce new helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode ext2: Update comment about generic_osync_inode ext3: Remove syncing logic from ext3_file_write ext4: Remove syncing logic from ext4_file_write ntfs: Use new syncing helpers and update comments ocfs2: Update syncing after splicing to match generic version xfs: Convert sync_page_range() to simple filemap_write_and_wait_range() pohmelfs: Use new syncing helper fat: Opencode sync_page_range_nolock() vfs: Remove generic_osync_inode() and sync_page_range{_nolock}() The diffstat is drivers/char/raw.c | 2 +- drivers/staging/pohmelfs/inode.c | 6 +- fs/block_dev.c | 29 ++++++- fs/ext2/inode.c | 2 +- fs/ext3/file.c | 61 +------------- fs/ext4/file.c | 53 +----------- fs/fat/file.c | 22 +++++- fs/fat/misc.c | 4 +- fs/fs-writeback.c | 54 ------------ fs/ntfs/file.c | 16 +--- fs/ntfs/mft.c | 13 ++-- fs/ocfs2/file.c | 49 ++++------- fs/splice.c | 22 ++---- fs/sync.c | 56 +++++++++++-- fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_lrw.c | 3 +- include/linux/fs.h | 18 +++-- include/linux/writeback.h | 4 - mm/filemap.c | 170 ++++++++++++-------------------------- 18 files changed, 204 insertions(+), 380 deletions(-) Thanks Honza -- Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> SUSE Labs, CR -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
