From d7644110a92a74c71dfa65834eb9484a5ff7bf1f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2012 21:52:20 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix fdatasync() for files with only i_size changes commit b71fc079b5d8f42b2a52743c8d2f1d35d655b1c5 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.
