http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11688 ------- Comment #9 from jack@xxxxxxx 2009-01-20 09:18 ------- Ted, I've looked into this and it is a bug in ext4. It should call grab_cache_page_write_begin() with AOP_FLAG_NOFS since it cannot handle recursion into the filesystem for freeing memory. The problem is that at the time grab_cache_page_write_begin() is called, a transaction is already started - this is what quota code complains about (because it also needs to start a transaction but current->journal_info is already occupied by ext4). If we wanted to avoid AOP_FLAG_NOFS we could get the page, start a transaction, lock and check the page but that's going to be a bit nasty. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
