    vfs: Make sys_sync() use fsync_super() (version 4) · 5cee5815
    Jan Kara 提交于
    It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync())
    doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to
    accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch
    __fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to
    properly send all data on a filesystem to disk.
    
    Nice bonus is that we get a complete livelock avoidance and write_supers()
    is now only used for periodic writeback of superblocks.
    
    sync_blockdevs() introduced a couple of patches ago is gone now.
