Merge branch 'osync_cleanup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs-2.6
* 'osync_cleanup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs-2.6: fsync: wait for data writeout completion before calling ->fsync vfs: Remove generic_osync_inode() and sync_page_range{_nolock}() fat: Opencode sync_page_range_nolock() pohmelfs: Use new syncing helper xfs: Convert sync_page_range() to simple filemap_write_and_wait_range() ocfs2: Update syncing after splicing to match generic version ntfs: Use new syncing helpers and update comments ext4: Remove syncing logic from ext4_file_write ext3: Remove syncing logic from ext3_file_write ext2: Update comment about generic_osync_inode vfs: Introduce new helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode vfs: Rename generic_file_aio_write_nolock ocfs2: Use __generic_file_aio_write instead of generic_file_aio_write_nolock pohmelfs: Use __generic_file_aio_write instead of generic_file_aio_write_nolock vfs: Remove syncing from generic_file_direct_write() and generic_file_buffered_write() vfs: Export __generic_file_aio_write() and add some comments vfs: Introduce filemap_fdatawait_range
