[PATCH 0/2] xfs: skip redundant fsync cache flushes

[Daejun Park via B4 Relay <devnull+daejun7.park.samsung.com@kernel.org>]

Concurrent fsyncs often wait for an iclog that another task wrote out,
and then send their own cache flush. Patch 1 numbers the cache flushes
on each buftarg. Patch 2 uses the numbers to skip that flush when a
later flush has completed.

16 fio jobs of 4k append + fsync in a QEMU guest: 809 -> 4185
fsyncs/s. fstests -g quick shows no change, and a dm-log-writes crash
test lost no data (patch 2).
