Subject[PATCH 26/52] ext4: call blkdev_issue_flush on fsync
Date
From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>

To ensure that bits are truly on-disk after an fsync,
we should call blkdev_issue_flush if barriers are supported.

Inspired by an old thread on barriers, by reiserfs & xfs
which do the same, and by a patch SuSE ships with their kernel
