[PATCH 5.15 11/28] xfs: only bother with sync_filesystem during readonly remount

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Jun 30 2022 - 10:09:03 EST


From: "Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit b97cca3ba9098522e5a1c3388764ead42640c1a5 ]

In commit 02b9984d6408, we pushed a sync_filesystem() call from the VFS
into xfs_fs_remount. The only time that we ever need to push dirty file
data or metadata to disk for a remount is if we're remounting the
filesystem read only, so this really could be moved to xfs_remount_ro.

Once we've moved the call site, actually check the return value from
sync_filesystem.

Fixes: 02b9984d6408 ("fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()")
