[PATCH 4/4] ext4: don't keep using page if inline conversion fails

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

 



If inline->extent conversion fails (most probably due to ENOSPC) and
we release the temporary page that we allocated to transfer the file
contents, don't keep using the page pointer after releasing the page.
This occasionally leads to complaints about evicting locked pages or
hangs when blocksize > pagesize, because it's possible for the page to
get reallocated elsewhere in the meantime.
