Sorry, I mixed this up with fsync. sys_sync is not working, just flushing the 
buffer on umount.

When I brought in the timed flush, I tried to use kupdated 
(superblock->s_dirty) and had a bunch of unwanted flush's during consecutive 
writes, because setting sb->s_dirty is asynchronous to kupdated interval.  
That's why I used the 2 seconds timer. 

I will think about it again.
