[PATCH] ext4: Resolve the hang of direct i/o read in handling EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN.

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

 



From: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@xxxxxxxxxx>

EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN flag set and the increase of i_aiodio_unwritten should
be done simultaneously since ext4_end_io_nolock always clear the flag and
decrease the counter in the same time.

We don't increase i_aiodio_unwritten when setting EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN so
it will go nagative and causes some process to wait forever.

Part of the patch came from Eric in his e-mail, but it doesn't fix the problem
met by Michael actually.

Eric talked about creating a helper for this and I feel that it looks
like a new functionality not a bug fix and decided to leave it to the
next merge window.
