I was grepping for "reiserfs_data_log" but there is "reiserfs_file_data_log" which I completely missed. Maybe you can help me with my original problem :) - I have a file (quota file) and I need to make sure that all the dirty data and metadata of that file is on disk in its final locations (i.e., not only in journal). Will just starting an auxiliary transaction and then doing do_journal_end(th, sb, 1, FLUSH_ALL) do the work as I think? Thanks.
