From ad211f3e94b314a910d4af03178a0b52a7d1ee0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2018 00:10:48 -0500 Subject: ext4: use ext4_write_inode() when fsyncing w/o a journal In no-journal mode, we previously used __generic_file_fsync() in no-journal mode. This triggers a lockdep warning, and in addition, it's not safe to depend on the inode writeback mechanism in the case ext4. We can solve both problems by calling ext4_write_inode() directly.
