Atomicity is difficult, because you have lots of caches each with their
own bits of state (e.g., the inode/dentry caches). Assuming your
transaction is committed that isn't so much of a problem, but once you
have on rollback you need to undo any changes to those caches.
I guess if you do synchronization before unlocking all is OK. Roll-back
means deleting partially written things and restore old things, then run
fsyncs. Whys this may be not enough?
