Merge patch series "fs: fully sync all fsese even for an emergency sync"
Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com> says: The first patch is a cleanup related to sync_inodes_one_sb() callback. Since it always wait for the writeback, there is no need to pass any parameter for it. The second patch is a fix mostly affecting btrfs, as btrfs requires a explicit sync_fc() call with wait == 1, to commit its super blocks, and sync_bdevs() won't cut it at all. However the current emergency sync never passes wait == 1, it means btrfs will writeback all dirty data and metadata, but still no super block update, resulting everything still pointing back to the old data/metadata. This lead to a problem where btrfs doesn't seem to do anything during emergency sync. The second patch fixes the problem by passing wait == 1 for the second iteration of sync_fs_one_sb(). * patches from https://patch.msgid.link/cover.1762142636.git.wqu@suse.com: fs: fully sync all fses even for an emergency sync fs: do not pass a parameter for sync_inodes_one_sb() Link: https://patch.msgid.link/cover.1762142636.git.wqu@suse.com Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
