[84/90] ext4: Wait for proper transaction commit on fsync

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Dec 10 2009 - 23:37:47 EST


2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
(cherry picked from commit b436b9bef84de6893e86346d8fbf7104bc520645)

We cannot rely on buffer dirty bits during fsync because pdflush can come
before fsync is called and clear dirty bits without forcing a transaction
commit. What we do is that we track which transaction has last changed
the inode and which transaction last changed allocation and force it to
disk on fsync.
