Maxim Sobolev 1498efc424 ufs: make fdatasync(2) write dirty indirect blocks
A data-only ffs_syncvnode() skips dirty indirect blocks on file systems
without soft updates, and with soft updates stops making passes once
only indirect blocks are left dirty.  Indirect blocks only get dirty
when the block pointers in them change, and those pointers are what
makes a newly allocated block reachable.  So when fdatasync() follows
a write that extended the file or filled a hole past the direct blocks,
the data and the inode size reached the disk but the pointer to the new
block did not, and a crash lost the "synced" data.  With soft updates
the indirect block was usually written once, with the new pointer
rolled back, and never rewritten.

POSIX requires fdatasync() to write the metadata needed to retrieve the
data, which 52488b5148 already acknowledged for the inode, so treat
dirty indirect blocks the same way for a data-only sync as for a full
one.  This restores the loop to what it was before 2f514f92cf.  Plain
overwrites, the case data-only sync is meant to speed up, do not dirty
indirect blocks and still write neither them nor the inode.

Fixes:	2f514f92cf ("Implement VOP_FDATASYNC() for UFS.")

FreeBSD Source:

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory. Additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information.

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7), config(8), FreeBSD handbook on building userland, and Handbook for kernels for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

For information on the CPU architectures and platforms supported by FreeBSD, see the FreeBSD website's Platforms page.

For official FreeBSD bootable images, see the release page.
