From f508d46ae41a796036aef566637685dbf83b554f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2016 09:55:48 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Remove redundant waits for O_DIRECT in fsync() and write_begin() We're now waiting immediately after taking the locks, so waiting in fsync() and write_begin() is either redundant or potentially subject to livelock (if not holding the lock).
