    writeback: Write dirty times for WB_SYNC_ALL writeback · dc5ff2b1
    Jan Kara authored
    
    
    Currently we take care to handle I_DIRTY_TIME in vfs_fsync() and
    queue_io() so that inodes which have only dirty timestamps are properly
    written on fsync(2) and sync(2). However there are other call sites -
    most notably going through write_inode_now() - which expect inode to be
    clean after WB_SYNC_ALL writeback. This is not currently true as we do
    not clear I_DIRTY_TIME in __writeback_single_inode() even for
    WB_SYNC_ALL writeback in all the cases. This then resulted in the
    following oops because bdev_write_inode() did not clean the inode and
    writeback code later stumbled over a dirty inode with detached wb.

    Fix the problem by making sure __writeback_single_inode() writes inode
    only with dirty times in WB_SYNC_ALL mode.
