It is frequently useful to sync a single file system, instead of all mounted file systems via sync(2): - On machines with many mounts, it is not at all uncommon for some of them to hang (e.g. unresponsive NFS server). sync(2) will get stuck on those and may never get to the one you do care about (e.g., /). - Some applications write lots of data to the file system and then want to make sure it is flushed to disk. Calling fsync(2) on each file introduces unnecessary ordering constraints that result in a large amount of sub-optimal writeback/flush/commit behavior by the file system. There are currently two ways (that I know of) to sync a single super_block: - BLKFLSBUF ioctl on the block device: That also invalidates the bdev mapping, which isn't usually desirable, and doesn't work for non-block file systems. - 'mount -o remount,rw' will call sync_filesystem as an artifact of the current implemention. Relying on this little-known side effect for something like data safety sounds foolish. Both of these approaches require root privileges, which some applications do not have (nor should they need?) given that sync(2) is an unprivileged operation. This patch introduces a new system call syncfs(2) that takes an fd and syncs only the file system it references. Maybe someday we can $ sync /some/path and not get sync: ignoring all arguments The syscall is motivated by comments by Al and Christoph at the last LSF. syncfs(2) seems like an appropriate name given statfs(2). A similar ioctl was also proposed a while back, see http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=127970513829285&w=2Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Move declaration of 'inode' to beginning of the function. Since it is referenced directly or indirectly (in case of FIFREEZE/FITHAW/ FS_IOC_FIEMAP) it's not harmful IMHO.

The last legitimate user of i2c_driver.attach_adapter and .detach_adapter is gone, so we can finally deprecate these callbacks.

Commit 8d7718aa changed "int" to "u32" in the prototypes but not the definition. I missed this when I saw the patch go by on LKML. We cast "u32 *" to "int *" since we are tying into the underlying atomics framework, and atomic_t uses int as its value type.

USB defines usb_device_type pointing to usb_device_pm_ops that provides system-wide PM callbacks only and usb_bus_type pointing to usb_bus_pm_ops that provides runtime PM callbacks only. However, the USB runtime PM callbacks may be defined in usb_device_pm_ops which makes it possible to drop usb_bus_pm_ops and will allow us to consolidate the handling of subsystems by the PM core code.
