If we reflink to or from a file opened with O_SYNC/O_DSYNC or to/from a file that has the S_SYNC attribute set, we totally ignore that and do not durably persist the reflink changes. Since a reflink can change the data readable from a file (and mtime/ctime, or a file size), it makes sense to durably persist (fsync) the source and destination files/ranges. This was previously discussed at: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20200903035225.GJ6090@magnolia/ The recently introduced test case generic/628, from fstests, exercises these scenarios and currently fails without this change. So make sure we fsync the source and destination files/ranges when either of them was opened with O_SYNC/O_DSYNC or has the S_SYNC attribute set, just like XFS already does.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
