Hello, Linus,
Following patch exports fsync_super() function. fsync_super() is
required for reiser4, because during umount we want to perform some
tasks after ->writepage has been called on all pages dirtied through
mmap (that is, after fsync_super()), but before inodes
destruction. As a result, reiser4 cannot use kill_block_super() and
has to call fsync_super() explicitly.
Please apply.
Nikita.
