From d05307042500e3f2c06fc2f9e76e8db31d61c7c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ritesh Harjani (IBM)" Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2023 15:16:14 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] ext2: Use generic_buffers_fsync() implementation Next patch converts ext2 to use iomap interface for DIO. iomap layer can call generic_write_sync() -> ext2_fsync() from iomap_dio_complete while still holding the inode_lock(). Now writeback from other paths doesn't need inode_lock(). It seems there is also no need of an inode_lock() for sync_mapping_buffers(). It uses it's own mapping->private_lock for it's buffer list handling. Hence this patch is in preparation to move ext2 to iomap. This uses generic_buffers_fsync() which does not take any inode_lock() in ext2_fsync().
