[PATCH v2] ext4: make sure to revoke all the freeable blocks in ext4_free_blocks

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

 



Now, ext4_free_blocks() doesn't revoke data blocks of per-file data
journalled inode and it can cause file data inconsistency problems.
Even though data blocks of per-file data journalled inode are already
forgotten by jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() in advance of invoking
ext4_free_blocks(), we still need to revoke the data blocks here.
Moreover some of the metadata blocks, which are not found by
sb_find_get_block(), are still needed to be revoked, but this is also
missing here.
