write_inode_now in nfs_unlink

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Does anyone have an explanation why nfs calls write_inode_now before
doing a sillrename?  The comment above claims that we want to start
an asynchronous writeout, but given that NFS doesn't have dirty
inode metadata that needs to be written back from ->write_inode
this only starts data writeback.  And that should be done using
filemap_fdatawrite or filemap_flush.
