[PATCH 2/2] ext4: Fix ENOSPC handling in DAX page fault handler

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

 



When allocation of underlying block for a page fault fails, we fail the
fault with SIGBUS. However we may well hit ENOSPC just due to lots of
free blocks being held by the running / committing transaction. So
propagate the error from ext4_iomap_begin() and implement do standard
allocation retry loop in ext4_dax_huge_fault().
