From 64e6651dcc10e9d2cc6230208a8e6c2cfd19ae18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tyler Hicks Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2012 18:38:00 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] eCryptfs: Call lower ->flush() from ecryptfs_flush() Since eCryptfs only calls fput() on the lower file in ecryptfs_release(), eCryptfs should call the lower filesystem's ->flush() from ecryptfs_flush(). If the lower filesystem implements ->flush(), then eCryptfs should try to flush out any dirty pages prior to calling the lower ->flush(). If the lower filesystem does not implement ->flush(), then eCryptfs has no need to do anything in ecryptfs_flush() since dirty pages are now written out to the lower filesystem in ecryptfs_release().
