From 33c5063fd1deb751e11e240cb88a6795306ce5cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Mon, 3 Sep 2012 16:50:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ext3: Fix fdatasync() for files with only i_size changes commit 156bddd8e505b295540f3ca0e27dda68cb0d49aa upstream. Code tracking when transaction needs to be committed on fdatasync(2) forgets to handle a situation when only inode's i_size is changed. Thus in such situations fdatasync(2) doesn't force transaction with new i_size to disk and that can result in wrong i_size after a crash. Fix the issue by updating inode's i_datasync_tid whenever its size is updated.
