3.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 5dd214248f94d430d70e9230bda72f2654ac88a8 upstream. The mount manpage says of the max_batch_time option, This optimization can be turned off entirely by setting max_batch_time to 0. But the code doesn't do that. So fix the code to do that.
