So far, do_sync() called: sync_inodes(0); sync_supers(); sync_filesystems(0); sync_filesystems(1); sync_inodes(1); This ordering makes it kind of hard for filesystems as sync_inodes(0) need not submit all the IO (for example it skips inodes with I_SYNC set) so e.g. forcing transaction to disk in ->sync_fs() is not really enough. Therefore sys_sync has not been completely reliable on some filesystems (ext3, ext4, reiserfs, ocfs2 and others are hit by this) when racing e.g. with background writeback. A similar problem hits also other filesystems (e.g. ext2) because of write_supers() being called before the sync_inodes(1). Change the ordering of calls in do_sync() - this requires a new function sync_blockdevs() to preserve the property that block devices are always synced after write_super() / sync_fs() call. The same issue is fixed in __fsync_super() function used on umount / remount read-only. [AV: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
