Subject: [PATCH 02/10] ext4: set SB_I_OVL_USE_SYNC_FS if there is a journal
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 21:09:28 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027-b4-ovl-containerized-sync-v1-2-802e512379a6@toxicpanda.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027-b4-ovl-containerized-sync-v1-0-802e512379a6@toxicpanda.com>
With a journal every change of metadata is part of a transaction, and
ext4_sync_fs() commits the running one. ext4_write_inode() has nothing to
add to that, it only forces a commit as well.
Without a journal the flag stays clear.
