This patch removes filemap_write_and_wait_range() from nilfs_sync_file(), because it triggers a data segment construction by calling nilfs_writepages() with WB_SYNC_ALL. A data segment construction does not remove the inode from the i_dirty list and it does not clear the NILFS_I_DIRTY flag. Therefore nilfs_inode_dirty() still returns true, which leads to an unnecessary duplicate segment construction in nilfs_sync_file(). A call to filemap_write_and_wait_range() is not needed, because NILFS2 does not rely on the generic writeback mechanisms. Instead it implements its own mechanism to collect all dirty pages and write them into segments. It is more efficient to initiate the segment construction directly in nilfs_sync_file() without the detour over filemap_write_and_wait_range(). Additionally the lock of i_mutex is not needed, because all code blocks that are protected by i_mutex are also protected by a NILFS transaction: Function i_mutex nilfs_transaction ------------------------------------------------------ nilfs_ioctl_setflags: yes yes nilfs_fiemap: yes no nilfs_write_begin: yes yes nilfs_write_end: yes yes nilfs_lookup: yes no nilfs_create: yes yes nilfs_link: yes yes nilfs_mknod: yes yes nilfs_symlink: yes yes nilfs_mkdir: yes yes nilfs_unlink: yes yes nilfs_rmdir: yes yes nilfs_rename: yes yes nilfs_setattr: yes yes For nilfs_lookup() i_mutex is held for the parent directory, to protect it from modification. The segment construction does not modify directory inodes, so no lock is needed. nilfs_fiemap() reads the block layout on the disk, by using nilfs_bmap_lookup_contig(). This is already protected by bmap->b_sem.
