Qu Wenruo 2706659d64 fs: fully sync all fses even for an emergency sync
[BUG]
There is a bug report that during emergency sync, btrfs only write back
all the dirty data and metadadta, but no full transaction commit,
resulting the super block still pointing to the old trees, thus the end
user can only see the old data, not the newer one.

[CAUSE]
Initially this looks like a btrfs specific bug, since ext4 doesn't get
affected by this one.

But the root problem here is, a combination of btrfs features and the no
wait nature of emergency sync.

Firstly do_sync_work() will call sync_inodes_one_sb() for every fs, to
writeback all the dirty pages for the fs.

Btrfs will properly writeback all dirty pages, including both data and
the updated metadata. So far so good.

Then sync_fs_one_sb() called with @nowait, in the case of btrfs it means
no full transaction commit, thus no super block update.

At this stage, btrfs is only one super block update away to be fully committed.
I believe it's the more or less the same for other fses too.

The problem is the next step, sync_bdevs().
Normally other fses have their super block already updated in the page
cache of the block device, but btrfs only updates the super block during
full transaction commit.

So sync_bdevs() may work for other fses, but not for btrfs, btrfs is
still using its older super block, all pointing back to the old metadata
and data.

Thus if after emergency sync, power loss happened, the end user will
only see the old data, not the newer one, despite that everything but the
super block is already written back.

[FIX]
Since the emergency sync is already executing in a workqueue, I didn't
see much need to only do a nowait sync.
Especially after the fact that sync_inodes_one_sb() always wait for the
writeback to finish.

Instead for the second iteration of sync_fs_one_sb(), pass wait == 1
into it, so fses like btrfs can properly commit its super blocks.

*
* The flag bits are:
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE: wait upon writeout of all pages in the range
* before performing the write.
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: initiate writeout of all those dirty pages in the

*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER: wait upon writeout of all pages in the range
* after performing the write.
*
* Useful combinations of the flag bits are:
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: ensures that all pages
* in the range which were dirty on entry to ksys_sync_file_range() are placed
* under writeout. This is a start-write-for-data-integrity operation.
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: start writeout of all dirty pages in the range which
* are not presently under writeout. This is an asynchronous flush-to-disk
* operation. Not suitable for data integrity operations.
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE (or SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER): wait for
* completion of writeout of all pages in the range. This will be used after an
* earlier SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE operation to wait
* for that operation to complete and to return the result.
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER
* (a.k.a. SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE_AND_WAIT):
* a traditional sync() operation. This is a write-for-data-integrity operation
* which will ensure that all pages in the range which were dirty on entry to
* ksys_sync_file_range() are written to disk. It should be noted that disk
* caches are not flushed by this call, so there are no guarantees here that the
* data will be available on disk after a crash.
*
*
* SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE and SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER will detect any
* I/O errors or ENOSPC conditions and will return those to the caller, after
* clearing the EIO and ENOSPC flags in the address_space.
*
* It should be noted that none of these operations write out the file's
* metadata. So unless the application is strictly performing overwrites of
* already-instantiated disk blocks, there are no guarantees here that the data
* will be available after a crash.
