[Bug 543617] Re: Unmount of an fs with dirty cache buffers causes pathological slowdown

[Brian Bloniarz]

The committed workaround for this syncs _all_ filesystems on _any_ umount(), if
I understand it correctly.

This has caused a regression for us; some of our scripts mount a tmpfs and
then umount it. Since that now syncs every filesystem, it can take much
longer than it should.

What is the status of a real fix for this bug? Now that the upstream bug has been
closed (?), will the workaround be going away any time soon.
