From e593b2bf513dd4d3fbfa0f435392eea2c7f776f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amir Goldstein Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2017 14:32:21 +0200 Subject: ovl: properly implement sync_filesystem() overlayfs syncs all inode pages on sync_filesystem(), but it also needs to call s_op->sync_fs() of upper fs for metadata sync. This fixes correctness of syncfs(2) as demonstrated by following xfs specific test: xfs_sync_stats() { echo $1 echo -n "xfs_log_force = " grep log /proc/fs/xfs/stat | awk '{ print $5 }' } xfs_sync_stats "before touch" touch x xfs_sync_stats "after touch" xfs_io -c syncfs . xfs_sync_stats "after syncfs" xfs_io -c fsync x xfs_sync_stats "after fsync" xfs_io -c fsync x xfs_sync_stats "after fsync #2" When this test is run in overlay mount over xfs, log force count does not increase with syncfs command.
