From 2928db1ffeacc9717c2d5c230d450bcc377b3ae9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 17:03:18 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Ensure inode is always marked I_DIRTY_DATASYNC, if it has unstable pages Since nfs_scan_list() doesn't wait for locked pages, we have a race in which it is possible to end up with an inode that needs to send a COMMIT, but which does not have the I_DIRTY_DATASYNC flag set.
