The file "close" here can I understand that the file system will call the "release" function at the file_operations struct? http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/linux/fs.h#L1538
So, James you are meaning that we could initiating the update transaction inside the f_ops->release() and return the error code if update failed in this function?
Thanks & Regards, Wilson
