Its filename was ext3-fix-synchronization-of-quota-files-in-journal=data-mode.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ext3: fix synchronization of quota files in journal=data mode From: Jan Kara In journal=data mode, it is not enough to do write_inode_now as done in vfs_quota_on() to write all data to their final location (which is needed for quota_read to work correctly). Calling journal_flush() does its job.
