The file "close" here can I understand that the file system will call the "release"
function at the file_operations struct?
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/linux/fs.h#L1538

So, James you are meaning that we could initiating the update transaction
inside the f_ops->release() and return the error code if update failed in this
function?


Thanks & Regards,
Wilson
