Wong" X-Patchwork-Id: 200250 Message-Id: <20121120075115.25270.62451.stgit@blackbox.djwong.org> To: axboe@kernel.dk, tytso@mit.edu, david@fromorbit.com, jmoyer@redhat.com, bpm@sgi.com, viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk, jack@suse.cz Cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, hch@infradead.org, linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, xfs@oss.sgi.com When performing O_SYNC+AIO+DIO writes to block devices, use the DIO_SYNC_WRITES flag so that flushes are issued /after/ the write completes, not before. Note, however, that for block devices, the DIO setup code ensures that a flush wq is attached to the superblock of the bdevfs filesystem, not the filesystem that the device node happens to reside in. This means that unlike regular files, iocb->ki_filp->f_mapping->host->i_sb != inode->i_sb. Therefore, adjust Jeff's earlier patch to keep the pointer use consistent and avoid a NULL deref.
