From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx> Always call fsync() when we're flushing a device, even if it is a block device. It's probably redundant to call fsync /and/ BLKFLSBUF, but the latter has odd behavior so we want to make sure the standard flush methods have a chance to run first. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
