From f501912a35c02eadc55ca9396ece55fe36f785d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Myers Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2010 14:05:11 -0600 Subject: commit_metadata export operation replacing nfsd_sync_dir - Add commit_metadata export_operation to allow the underlying filesystem to decide how to commit an inode most efficiently. - Usage of nfsd_sync_dir and write_inode_now has been replaced with the commit_metadata function that takes a svc_fh. - The commit_metadata function calls the commit_metadata export_op if it's there, or else falls back to sync_inode instead of fsync and write_inode_now because only metadata need be synced here. - nfsd4_sync_rec_dir now uses vfs_fsync so that commit_metadata can be static Signed-off-by: Ben Myers Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: J.
