    writeback: Fix data corruption on NFS · f9b0e058
    Jan Kara authored
    Commit 4f8ad655 "writeback: Refactor writeback_single_inode()" added
    a condition to skip clean inode. However this is wrong in WB_SYNC_ALL
    mode because there we also want to wait for outstanding writeback on
    possibly clean inode. This was causing occasional data corruption issues
    on NFS because it uses sync_inode() to make sure all outstanding writes
    are flushed to the server before truncating the inode and with
    sync_inode() returning prematurely file was sometimes extended back
    by an outstanding write after it was truncated.
    
    So modify the test to also check for pages under writeback in
    WB_SYNC_ALL mode.
