Was there ever a resolution for this patch and the series? I looked for but found no ack/nack for V4 of your "Cleanup and improve sync" patch series. We've been carrying a crappy hack/patch to sync all block device inodes in order to allow lilo to not break, and it'd be nice to have a real fix for it upstream.The patch set works, just I'm missing some final review and someone (Al?) has to pick it up and merge it. Anyway I plan to repost the series soon to hopefully get things moving again...
Please, rebase and send them my way.
