    nfs: Panic when commit fails · a8b40bc7
    Terry Loftin authored
    Actually pass the NFS_FILE_SYNC option to the server to avoid a
    Panic in nfs_direct_write_complete() when a commit fails.
    
    At the end of an nfs write, if the nfs commit fails, all the writes
    will be rescheduled.  They are supposed to be rescheduled as NFS_FILE_SYNC
    writes, but the rpc_task structure is not completely intialized and so
    the option is not passed.  When the rescheduled writes complete, the
    return indicates that they are NFS_UNSTABLE and we try to do another
    commit.  This leads to a Panic because the commit data structure pointer
    was set to null in the initial (failed) commit attempt.
