From 1027efaa238e1b65c07b6c2d9e270e548c2bdb07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Whitehouse Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 16:13:25 +0100 Subject: GFS2: Make ->write_inode() really write The GFS2 ->write_inode function should be more aggressive at writing back to the filesystem. This adopts the XFS system of returning -EAGAIN when the writeback has not been completely done. Also, we now kick off in-place writeback when called with WB_SYNC_NONE, but we only wait for it and flush the log when WB_SYNC_ALL is requested.
