Message-ID: <20030718183336.GW23808@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> (raw)
i'm updating the Documentation/filesystem/Locking document.
i notice that sys_fsync() takes the i_sem before calling ->fsync, but
io_submit_one() does not take i_sem before calling ->aio_fsync.
is this intentional? do we not need to protect against concurrent
writers as sys_fsync does?
