From 0dc83bd30b0bf5410c0933cfbbf8853248eff0a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2014 11:19:04 +0100 Subject: Revert "writeback: do not sync data dirtied after sync start" This reverts commit c4a391b53a72d2df4ee97f96f78c1d5971b47489. Dave Chinner has reported the commit may cause some inodes to be left out from sync(2). This is because we can call redirty_tail() for some inode (which sets i_dirtied_when to current time) after sync(2) has started or similarly requeue_inode() can set i_dirtied_when to current time if writeback had to skip some pages. The real problem is in the functions clobbering i_dirtied_when but fixing that isn't trivial so revert is a safer choice for now.
