/*
 * sys_sync_file_range() permits finely controlled syncing over a segment of
 * a file in the range offset .. (offset+nbytes-1) inclusive.  If nbytes is
 * zero then sys_sync_file_range() will operate from offset out to EOF.
 *
 * The flag bits are:
 *
 * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE: wait upon writeout of all pages in the range
 * before performing the write.
 *
 * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: initiate writeout of all those dirty pages in the
 * range which are not presently under writeback.
 *
 * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER: wait upon writeout of all pages in the range
 * after performing the write.
 *
 * Useful combinations of the flag bits are:
 *
 * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: ensures that all pages
 * in the range which were dirty on entry to sys_sync_file_range() are placed
 * under writeout.  This is a start-write-for-data-integrity operation.
 *
 * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: start writeout of all dirty pages in the range which
 * are not presently under writeout.  This is an asynchronous flush-to-disk
 * operation.  Not suitable for data integrity operations.
 *
 * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE (or SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER): wait for
 * completion of writeout of all pages in the range.  This will be used after an
 * earlier SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE operation to wait
 * for that operation to complete and to return the result.
 *
 * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER:
 * a traditional sync() operation.  This is a write-for-data-integrity operation
 * which will ensure that all pages in the range which were dirty on entry to
 * sys_sync_file_range() are committed to disk.
 *
 *
 * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE and SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER will detect any
 * I/O errors or ENOSPC conditions and will return those to the caller, after
 * clearing the EIO and ENOSPC flags in the address_space.
 *
 * It should be noted that none of these operations write out the file's
 * metadata.  So unless the application is strictly performing overwrites of
 * already-instantiated disk blocks, there are no guarantees here that the data
 * will be available after a crash.
