    Btrfs: fdatasync should skip metadata writeout · 524724ed
    Hisashi Hifumi authored
    In btrfs, fdatasync and fsync are identical, but
    fdatasync should skip committing transaction when
    inode->i_state is set just I_DIRTY_SYNC and this indicates
    only atime or/and mtime updates.
    Following patch improves fdatasync throughput.
