Hi Al, Today's linux-next merge of the vfs tree got a conflict in fs/ext3/fsync.c between commit 785c4bcc0d88 ("ext3: Add fixed tracepoints") from the ext3 tree and commit 62ec115d5b9c ("fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers") from the vfs tree. I fixed it up (see below) but am not sure of the ordering of these two separate changes. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx diff --cc fs/ext3/fsync.c index 06a4394,0bcf63a..0000000 --- a/fs/ext3/fsync.c +++ b/fs/ext3/fsync.c @@@ -52,14 -51,22 +52,24 @@@ int ext3_sync_file(struct file *file, l int ret, needs_barrier = 0; tid_t commit_tid; - if (inode->i_sb->s_flags & MS_RDONLY) - return 0; - + ret = filemap_write_and_wait_range(inode->i_mapping, start, end); + if (ret) + return ret; + + /* + * Taking the mutex here just to keep consistent with how fsync was + * called previously, however it looks like we don't need to take + * i_mutex at all. + */ + mutex_lock(&inode->i_mutex); + J_ASSERT(ext3_journal_current_handle() == NULL); + trace_ext3_sync_file_enter(file, datasync); + + if (inode->i_sb->s_flags & MS_RDONLY) + return 0; + - /* * data=writeback,ordered: * The caller's filemap_fdatawrite()/wait will sync the data. @@@ -75,8 -82,8 +85,9 @@@ * safe in-journal, which is all fsync() needs to ensure. */ if (ext3_should_journal_data(inode)) { + mutex_unlock(&inode->i_mutex); - return ext3_force_commit(inode->i_sb); + ret = ext3_force_commit(inode->i_sb); + goto out; } if (datasync) @@@ -97,8 -104,6 +108,9 @@@ */ if (needs_barrier) blkdev_issue_flush(inode->i_sb->s_bdev, GFP_KERNEL, NULL); + mutex_unlock(&inode->i_mutex); + +out: + trace_ext3_sync_file_exit(inode, ret); return ret; } -- 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
