[PATCH] ext4: Move check under lock scope to close a race.

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

 



fallocate() checks that the file is extent-based and returns
EOPNOTSUPP in case is not. Other tasks can convert from and to
indirect and extent so it's safe to check only after grabbing
the inode mutex.
