Subject: fuse: write inode in fuse_release()
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 035ff33cf4db101250fb980a3941bf078f37a544 upstream.
A race between write(2) and close(2) allows pages to be dirtied after
fuse_flush -> write_inode_now(). If these pages are not flushed from
fuse_release(), then there might not be a writable open file later. So any
remaining dirty pages must be written back before the file is released.
This is a partial revert of the blamed commit.
