Subject: [PATCH 0/2] commit_metadata export operation v5

Hey Bruce,

Here is the latest version of the knfsd sync changes that I've been spamming
you with. I have addressed the latest suggestions provided by Christoph,
Trond, Dave, and Alex. This version of the commit_metadata export operation
takes only one inode as suggested by Christoph and it turns out to be much
cleaner this way. Now we've gone back to committing all of the time in
nfsd_create_setattr and don't bother with the added argument. A couple extra
comments to explain the commit ordering.

Thanks,
Ben

Don't worry about spamming--it's good that people have lots of comments!

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] commit_metadata export operation replacing nfsd_sync_dir

- Add commit_metadata export_operation to allow the underlying filesystem to
decide how to commit an inode most efficiently.

- Usage of nfsd_sync_dir and write_inode_now has been replaced with the
commit_metadata function that takes a svc_fh.

- The commit_metadata function calls the commit_metadata export_op if it's
there, or else falls back to sync_inode instead of fsync and write_inode_now
because only metadata need be synced here.

- nfsd4_sync_rec_dir now uses vfs_fsync so that commit_metadata can be static

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] xfs_export_operations.commit_metadata

This is the commit_metadata export operation for XFS.

- Takes one inode to be committed.

- Forces the log up to the lsn of the inode.

- Doesn't force the log if the inode doesn't have a pincount.

This looks very good to me. A couple of tiny nitpicks below:

The dchild argument is gone in this version.

Maybe move the wbc declaration into the else branch here to keep
variables in the smallest possible scope.

While this is a worthwhile cleanup I'd not put it into a patch that is
now entirely unrelated.

The if statement above seems rather minindented, possibly due to the
partial use of spaces instead of tabs.

That could be simplified to:

if (xfs_ipincount(ip))
_xfs_log_force(mp, ip->i_itemp->ili_last_lsn
XFS_LOG_FORCE | XFS_LOG_SYNC, NULL);
