[PATCH 2/3] ext4: Rewrite ext4_page_mkwrite() to return locked page

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

 



ext4_page_mkwrite() does not return page locked. This makes it hard
to avoid races with filesystem freezing code (so that we don't leave
writeable page on a frozen fs) or writeback code (so that we allow page
to be stable during writeback).

Also the current code uses i_alloc_sem to avoid races with truncate but that
seems to be the wrong locking order according to lock ordering documented in
mm/rmap.c.
