But with this change we no longer sync the data page? Don't we need
something like this:

static int ext2_commit_chunk(struct page *page, loff_t pos, unsigned len)
{
struct address_space *mapping = page->mapping;
struct inode *dir = mapping->host;
int err = 0;

dir->i_version++;
block_write_end(NULL, mapping, pos, len, len, page, NULL);

if (pos+len > dir->i_size) {
i_size_write(dir, pos+len);
mark_inode_dirty(dir);
}

if (IS_DIRSYNC(dir)) {
err = write_one_page(page, 1);
if (err == 0)
err = ext2_sync_inode(dir);
} else {
unlock_page(page);
}

return err;
}

?
