  32 * This is only called from sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and sys_msync().
  33 * There cannot be a transaction open by this task.
  34 * Another task could have dirtied this inode.  Its data can be in any
  35 * state in the journalling system.

  37 * What we do is just kick off a commit and wait on it.  This will snapshot the
  38 * inode to disk.
