This drops a good chunk of 21ab2fe6ec
again, which I think is plainly wrong or at the very least too
overengineered.
1. it's wrong to assume that overlayfs layers are mounted elsewhere in
the fs. it's quite likely they aren't. and overlayfs correctly passes
through fsync() to the top layer, hence we really should keep syncing
it.
2. network file systems deserve syncing. This code here runs in the
initrd, where a very restrictive set of file systems is mounted and
which runs for a very short time only, i.e. the circumstances haven't
really changed. Hence I am very sure it's better to sync file systems
here than not to, we do this for safety reasons after all.
Reliability always trumps speed here, we should not give up
correctness over presumed speed improvements.
3. There's zero reason to believe FUSE doesn't need syncing. We live in
a world where increasingly complex kernel file systems are moved to
userspace, and hence FUSE can be used to implement *anything*. Hence
we should sync it. Yes, FUSE means some backing process needs to run,
but that's a job for the initrd to get right: make sure the process
runs properly over the switch root if the mount is left in tact over
the switch root too.
Hence, dumb this all down and drop the weird fine tuning here.
