commit cf5371ae460eb8e484e4884747af270c86c3c469 upstream.
There are cases when we don't want to send the SMB2 flush operation
(e.g. when user specifies mount parm "nostrictsync") and it can be
a very expensive operation on the server. In most cases in order
to set mtime, we simply need to flush (write) the dirtry pages from
the client and send the writes to the server not also send a flush
protocol operation to the server.
Fixes: aa081859b10c ("cifs: flush before set-info if we have writeable handles")

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.
