35  *
36  * This is only called from sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and sys_msync().
37  * There cannot be a transaction open by this task. (AKPM: quotas?)
38  * Another task could have dirtied this inode.  Its data can be in any
39  * state in the journalling system.
40  *
41  * What we do is just kick off a commit and wait on it.  This will snapshot the
42  * inode to disk.
43  *
44  * Note that there is a serious optimisation we can make here: if the current
45  * inode is not part of j_running_transaction or j_committing_transaction
46  * then we have nothing to do.  That would require implementation of t_ilist,
47  * which isn't too hard.
