Subject: fs/writeback: in wait_sb_inodes(), skip wait for AS_WRITEBACK_INDETERMINATE mappings
Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2024 15:23:57 -0800
For filesystems with the AS_WRITEBACK_INDETERMINATE flag set, writeback
operations may take an indeterminate time to complete. For example,
writing data back to disk in FUSE filesystems depends on the userspace
server successfully completing writeback.
In this commit, wait_sb_inodes() skips waiting on writeback if the inode's
mapping has AS_WRITEBACK_INDETERMINATE set, else sync(2) may take an
indeterminate amount of time to complete.
If the caller wishes to ensure the data for a mapping with the
AS_WRITEBACK_INDETERMINATE flag set has actually been written back to
disk, they should use fsync(2)/fdatasync(2) instead.
