1419 * but it is INCORRECT for data-integrity system calls such as fsync(). fsync()
1420 * and msync() need to guarantee that all the data which was dirty at the time
1421 * the call was made get new I/O started against them. If wbc->sync_mode is

Jan Karaf446daa2010-08-09 17:19:12 -07001424 *
1425 * To avoid livelocks (when other process dirties new pages), we first tag
1426 * pages which should be written back with TOWRITE tag and only then start
1427 * writing them. For data-integrity sync we have to be careful so that we do
1428 * not miss some pages (e.g., because some other process has cleared TOWRITE
1429 * tag we set). The rule we follow is that TOWRITE tag can be cleared only
1430 * by the process clearing the DIRTY tag (and submitting the page for IO).
