Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] fs/writeback: skip AS_NO_DATA_INTEGRITY mappings in wait_sb_inodes()
Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2025 19:00:43 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251215030043.1431306-2-joannelkoong@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251215030043.1431306-1-joannelkoong@gmail.com>

Skip waiting on writeback for inodes that belong to mappings that do not
have data integrity guarantees (denoted by the AS_NO_DATA_INTEGRITY
mapping flag).

This restores fuse back to prior behavior where syncs are no-ops. This
is needed because otherwise, if a system is running a faulty fuse
server that does not reply to issued write requests, this will cause
wait_sb_inodes() to wait forever.

Fixes: 0c58a97f919c ("fuse: remove tmp folio for writebacks and internal rb tree")
