Subject: [PATCH]: reiser4 [1/8] export fsync_super()
Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2002 19:03:05 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <15809.21561.25201.754130@laputa.namesys.com> (raw)

Hello, Linus,

    Following patch exports fsync_super() function. fsync_super() is
    required for reiser4, because during umount we want to perform some
    tasks after ->writepage has been called on all pages dirtied through
    mmap (that is, after fsync_super()), but before inodes
    destruction. As a result, reiser4 cannot use kill_block_super() and
    has to call fsync_super() explicitly.

Please apply.
Nikita.
