 1.7.6.5
 
+From: Dave Chinner <dchinner at redhat.com>
+
+There is a logic inversion in xfssyncd_worker() which means that the
+log is not periodically forced or idled correctly. This means that
+metadata changes aggregated in memory do not get flushed in a timely
+manner, and hence if filesystem is not cleanly unmounted those
+changes can be lost. This loss can manifest itself even hours after
+the changes were made if the filesystem is left to idle without a
+sync() occurring between the last modification and the
+crash/shutdown occuring.
