However there's not much point in writing a brand-new function when
write_inode_now() almost does the right thing.  We can share the

Indeed. We use the generic_osync_inode() for it?

Please let me confirm.
Using generic_osync_inode(inode, NULL, OSYNC_INODE) instaed of
sync_inode_wodata(inode) is peferable for changes on fs/open.c,
even it would write data. Is it correct?



I don't know.  It depends on what you're actually trying to do, and I don't
recall anyone having described that!

I'm just little confused, because I realized generic_osync_inode(,,OSYNC_INODE)
calls sync_inode_now(), however Ogawasa-san pointed out sync_inode_now() which
my first patch used is writing data page.
