Re: [PATCH 5/8] ext4: call ext4_forget() from ext4_free_blocks()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On 2009-11-22, at 19:18, Theodore Ts'o wrote:
Add the facility for ext4_forget() to be called form
ext4_free_blocks().  This simplifies the code in a large number of
places, and centralizes most of the work of calling ext4_forget() into
a single place.

Also fix a bug in the extents migration code; it wasn't calling
ext4_forget() when releasing the indirect blocks during the
conversion.

Would this also solve Curt's problem, mentioned in "Bug in extent zeroout: blocks not marked as new" where bforget was not being called when the blocks are freed?

As a result, if the system cashed during or shortly after the
extents migration, and the released indirect blocks get reused as
data blocks, the journal replay would corrupt the data blocks.
With this new patch, fixing this bug was as simple as adding the
EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET flags to the call to ext4_free_blocks().
