From b41ed9c38a42daa4b474ebf18eb06ef1f17351f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Tue, 2 Aug 2011 12:32:00 +0100 Subject: dm snapshot: flush disk cache when merging commit 762a80d9fc9f690a3a35983f3b4619a220650808 upstream. This patch makes dm-snapshot flush disk cache when writing metadata for merging snapshot. Without cache flushing the disk may reorder metadata write and other data writes and there is a possibility of data corruption in case of power fault.
