From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 12:02:23 +0000 (+0000) Subject: xfs: make log devices with write back caches work X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a27a263bae072a499acc77b632238a6dacccf888;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git xfs: make log devices with write back caches work There's no reason not to support cache flushing on external log devices. The only thing this really requires is flushing the data device first both in fsync and log commits. A side effect is that we also have to remove the barrier write test during mount, which has been superflous since the new FLUSH+FUA code anyway. Also use the chance to flush the RT subvolume write cache before the fsync commit, which is required for correct semantics.
