Series fs: Fix missed inode write during fsync | expand

Commit Message

Jan Kara May 11, 2026, 12:13 p.m. UTC 
Currently every ext4 inode gets mapping_metadata_bhs struct although it
is only needed when running without a journal and only for inodes where
any metadata was dirtied. Allocate mapping_metadata_bhs struct on demand
when dirtying the first metadata buffer for the inode.
