I've done it --- it got ignored at the time, but I'll resurrect the
patch.
Linus's argument at the time was "well, do we need it, or is fsync
fast enough now?" If anyone is prepared to put performance numbers
on it, now is the time to put your paws in the air. :-)
How complex is the code? Ideally, O_SYNC should be as fast as
possible, even on very large files -- if the code is simple and small
enough, I would go for it...
