Hi Miklos,

I am not able to see how in fsync() path d_real() gets called. If we
decide to do fsync() on upper metacopy, then opening upper will not
go through d_real(). And we never issue fsync() on lower.

So I am scratching my head while trying to understand the d_real() and
fsync() connection.

Thanks
Vivek
