From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Feb 18 2019 - 09:08:26 EST


3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit b61ac5b720146c619c7cdf17eff2551b934399e5 ]

This patch move dir data flush to write checkpoint process, by
doing this, it may reduce some time for dir fsync.

pre:
-f2fs_do_sync_file enter
-file_write_and_wait_range <- flush & wait
-write_checkpoint
-do_checkpoint <- wait all
-f2fs_do_sync_file exit

now:
-f2fs_do_sync_file enter
-write_checkpoint
-block_operations <- flush dir & no wait
-do_checkpoint <- wait all
-f2fs_do_sync_file exit
