[PATCH] ext4: fix the deadlock in mpage_da_map_and_submit()

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

 



If ext4_jbd2_file_inode() in mpage_da_map_and_submit() fails due to journal
abort, this function returns to caller without unlocking the page.
It leads to the deadlock, and the patch fixes this issue by calling
mpage_da_submit_io().
