Hi Ted: Apparently my patch for ext4: Make sure ext4_dirty_inode() updates the inode in no journal mode didn't play well if CONFIG_JBD_DEBUG wasn't defined. Here are two patches that fix it. I don't know if the jbd_debug() call has any importance or not; you can choose which is better perhaps? Thanks, Curt ============================================== Remove jbd_debug() call from ext4_inode_dirty() Signed-off-by: Curt Wohlgemuth <curtw@xxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ext4/inode.c.orig 2009-10-02 09:04:36.000000000 -0700 +++ fs/ext4/inode.c 2009-10-02 09:05:31.000000000 -0700 @@ -5851,14 +5851,12 @@ int ext4_mark_inode_dirty(handle_t *hand */ void ext4_dirty_inode(struct inode *inode) { - handle_t *current_handle = ext4_journal_current_handle(); handle_t *handle; handle = ext4_journal_start(inode, 2); if (IS_ERR(handle)) goto out; - jbd_debug(5, "marking dirty. outer handle=%p\n", current_handle); ext4_mark_inode_dirty(handle, inode); ext4_journal_stop(handle); ============================================== Make sure ext4_inode_dirty() compiles if CONFIG_JBD_DEBUG is not defined.
