UBIFS: always commit in sync_fs
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Always run commit in sync_fs, because even if the journal seems
to be almost empty, there may be a deletion which removes a large
file, which affects the index greatly. And because we want
better free space predictions after 'sync_fs()', we have to
commit.
