Subject: btrfs: do commit in sync_fs if there are pending changes
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6b5fe46dfa52441f49c7432b1c1b1cb767834708;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

btrfs: do commit in sync_fs if there are pending changes

If a pending change is requested, it's not processed unless there is a
transaction commit about to happen, not even after sync or SYNC_FS
ioctl. For example a remount that toggles the inode_cache option will
not take effect after sync on a quiescent filesystem.
