Hi Al, Today's linux-next merge of the vfs tree got a conflict in fs/ext4/fsync.c between commit 14ece1028b3ed53ffec1b1213ffc6acaf79ad77c ("ext4: Make fsync sync new parent directories in no-journal mode") from Linus' tree and commits 05b2fc7d1f1046fef1199e1a4d2f63df998ef3aa ("drop unused dentry argument to ->fsync") and 8f1edffdb5a76f205cf45070e1552ee8b2239a2b ("rename the generic fsync implementations") from the vfs tree. I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix for a while. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx diff --cc fs/ext4/fsync.c index b6a74f9,8000c7a..0000000 --- a/fs/ext4/fsync.c +++ b/fs/ext4/fsync.c @@@ -89,13 -66,9 +89,13 @@@ int ext4_sync_file(struct file *file, i ret = flush_completed_IO(inode); if (ret < 0) return ret; - - if (!journal) - return generic_file_fsync(file, datasync); + + if (!journal) { - ret = simple_fsync(file, dentry, datasync); ++ ret = generic_file_fsync(file, datasync); + if (!ret && !list_empty(&inode->i_dentry)) + ext4_sync_parent(inode); + return ret; + } /* * data=writeback,ordered: -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
