[PATCH] ext4: Fix WARN_ON from ext4_releasepage()

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

 



ext4_releasepage() warns when it is passed a page with PageChecked set.
However this can correctly happen when invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
invalidates pages - and we should fail the release in that case. Since
the page was dirty anyway, it won't be discarded and no harm has
happened but it's good to be safe. Also remove bogus page_has_buffers()
check - we are guaranteed page has buffers in this function.
