Some of the higher layers like iomap takes inode_lock() when calling generic_write_sync(). Also writeback already happens from other paths without inode lock, so it's difficult to say that we really need sync_mapping_buffers() to take any inode locking here. Having said that, let's add generic_buffers_fsync/_noflush() implementation in buffer.c with no inode_lock/unlock() for now so that filesystems like ext2 and ext4's nojournal mode can use it. Ext4 when got converted to iomap for direct-io already copied it's own variant of __generic_file_fsync() without lock. This patch adds generic_buffers_fsync() & generic_buffers_fsync_noflush() implementations for use in filesystems like ext2 & ext4 respectively. Later we can review other filesystems as well to see if we can make generic_buffers_fsync/_noflush() which does not take any inode_lock() as the default path.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
