Anton Blanchard 957c93832c raw: fsync method is now required ... commit 55ab3a1ff8 upstream. Commit 148f948ba8 (vfs: Introduce new helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode) broke the raw driver. We now call through generic_file_aio_write -> generic_write_sync -> vfs_fsync_range. vfs_fsync_range has: if (!fop || !fop->fsync) { ret = -EINVAL; goto out; } But drivers/char/raw.c doesn't set an fsync method. We have two options: fix it or remove the raw driver completely. I'm happy to do either, the fact this has been broken for so long suggests it is rarely used. The patch below adds an fsync method to the raw driver. My knowledge of the block layer is pretty sketchy so this could do with a once over. If we instead decide to remove the raw driver, this patch might still be useful as a backport to 2.6.33 and 2.6.32.
