For the client requests who will have unsafe and safe replies from MDS daemons, in the MDS side the MDS daemons won't flush the mdlog (journal log) immediatelly, because they think it's unnecessary. That's true for most cases but not all, likes the fsync request. The fsync will wait until all the unsafe replied requests to be safely replied. Normally if there have multiple threads or clients are running, the whole mdlog in MDS daemons could be flushed in time if any request will trigger the mdlog submit thread. So usually we won't experience the normal operations will stuck for a long time. But in case there has only one client with only thread is running, the stuck phenomenon maybe obvious and the worst case it must wait at most 5 seconds to wait the mdlog to be flushed by the MDS's tick thread periodically. This patch will trigger to flush the mdlog in the relevant and auth MDSes to which the in-flight requests are sent just before waiting the unsafe requests to finish.

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.
