If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jan Kara commit f9b0e058cbd04ada76b13afffa7e1df830543c24 upstream. Commit 4f8ad655dbc8 "writeback: Refactor writeback_single_inode()" added a condition to skip clean inode. However this is wrong in WB_SYNC_ALL mode because there we also want to wait for outstanding writeback on possibly clean inode. This was causing occasional data corruption issues on NFS because it uses sync_inode() to make sure all outstanding writes are flushed to the server before truncating the inode and with sync_inode() returning prematurely file was sometimes extended back by an outstanding write after it was truncated. So modify the test to also check for pages under writeback in WB_SYNC_ALL mode.
