minix: Fix data integrity writeout issues

2026-07-27T14:25:33+00:00

Minix could fail to properly write out inode on fsync(2) due to races with WB_SYNC_NONE writeback. Several racing fsyncs could also result in some fsync returning earlier than all metadata buffers were properly persisted. Furthermore DIRSYNC handling missed writing inode related metadata. Fix all these issues by using new .sync_inode_metadata method which makes sure all inode related metadata is written to disk during any WB_SYNC_ALL writeback.

minix: Switch to generic_buffers_fsync()

2026-03-26T14:03:28+00:00

Minix uses list of metadata bhs attached to an inode. Switch it to generic_buffers_fsync() instead of generic_file_fsync() as we'll be removing metadata bh handling from generic_file_fsync().

fs: Remove three arguments from block_write_end()

2025-06-24T13:53:40+00:00

block_write_end() looks like it can be used as a ->write_end() implementation. However, it can't as it does not unlock nor put the folio. Since it does not use the 'file', 'mapping' nor 'fsdata' arguments, remove them.
