From 5f3481e9a80c240f169b36ea886e2325b9aeb745 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2009 21:42:42 -0400 Subject: ext4: fix cache flush in ext4_sync_file We need to flush the write cache unconditionally in ->fsync, otherwise writes into already allocated blocks can get lost. Writes into fully allocated files are very common when using disk images for virtualization, and without this fix can easily lose data after an fdatasync, which is the typical implementation for a cache flush on the virtual drive.
