[ 40/46] ext3: Fix fdatasync() for files with only i_size changes

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Sep 12 2012 - 19:50:07 EST


From: Greg KH <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

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.
