Subject: [PATCH 23/23] ppc64le sync mkconfig to disk (#1212114)
ecb9bb
ecb9bb
If creating a new grub2 entry using grub2-mkconfig, the entry is not
ecb9bb
immediately sync'd to disk.  If a crash happens before the writeback,
ecb9bb
the subsequent reboot fails because the grub2.cfg is corrupted.
ecb9bb
ecb9bb
Address this by forcing all the changes (mainly the fs meta data) to disk
ecb9bb
before finishing the grub2 conf changes.
ecb9bb
ecb9bb
Tested by 'grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub22.cfg; echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger'.
ecb9bb
ecb9bb
Before, the machine would panic and on reboot be stuck without a grub.cfg
ecb9bb
to read.  After, works as expected.
