overlayfs syncs all inode pages on sync_filesystem(), but it also
needs to call s_op->sync_fs() of upper fs for metadata sync.
This fixes correctness of syncfs(2) as demonstrated by following
xfs specific test:
xfs_sync_stats()
{
echo $1
echo -n "xfs_log_force = "
grep log /proc/fs/xfs/stat | awk '{ print $5 }'
}
xfs_sync_stats "before touch"
touch x
xfs_sync_stats "after touch"
xfs_io -c syncfs .
xfs_sync_stats "after syncfs"
xfs_io -c fsync x
xfs_sync_stats "after fsync"
xfs_io -c fsync x
xfs_sync_stats "after fsync #2"
When this test is run in overlay mount over xfs, log force
count does not increase with syncfs command.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
