From f469ec9c5b95dfed60d5d628e1a8cecfc1f92d7a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2012 07:26:07 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fs: Remove bogus wait in write_inode_now() inode_sync_wait() in write_inode_now() is just bogus. That function waits for I_SYNC bit to be cleared but writeback_single_inode() clears the bit on return so the wait is effectivelly a nop unless someone else submits the inode for writeback again. All the waiting write_inode_now() needs is achieved by using WB_SYNC_ALL writeback mode.
