From 5872ddaaf05bf25e3ab90580295ebc946405928c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yongqiang Yang Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:55:51 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: flush journal when switching from data=journal mode It's necessary to flush the journal when switching away from data=journal mode. This is because there are no revoke records when data blocks are journalled, but revoke records are required in the other journal modes. However, it is not necessary to flush the journal when switching into data=journal mode, and flushing the journal is expensive. So let's avoid it in that case.
