The patch titled jbd: strictly check for write errors on data buffers has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was jbd-strictly-check-for-write-errors-on-data-buffers.patch This patch was dropped because I don't think we want to go read-only on file data write errors The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: jbd: strictly check for write errors on data buffers From: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@xxxxxxxxxxx> In ordered mode, we should abort journaling when an I/O error has occurred on a file data buffer in the committing transaction. But there can be data buffers which are not checked for error: (a) the buffer which has already been written out by pdflush (b) the buffer which has been unlocked before scanned in the t_locked_list loop This patch adds missing error checks and aborts journaling appropriately.
