commit ad211f3e94 upstream.
In no-journal mode, we previously used __generic_file_fsync() in
no-journal mode. This triggers a lockdep warning, and in addition,
it's not safe to depend on the inode writeback mechanism in the case
ext4. We can solve both problems by calling ext4_write_inode()
directly.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
