Subject: Export sync_filesystem() for modular ->remount_fs() use
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=10096fb1088e5c89b10772a1dfbe9682ecae5cea;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

Export sync_filesystem() for modular ->remount_fs() use

This patch changes sync_filesystem() to be EXPORT_SYMBOL().

The reason this is needed is that starting with 3.15 kernel, due to
Theodore Ts'o's commit 02b9984d6408 ("fs: push sync_filesystem() down to
the file system's remount_fs()"), all file systems that have dirty data
to be written out need to call sync_filesystem() from their
->remount_fs() method when remounting read-only.

As this is now a generically required function rather than an internal
only function it should be EXPORT_SYMBOL() so that all file systems can
call it.
