https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205569 Theodore Tso (tytso@xxxxxxx) changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |tytso@xxxxxxx --- Comment #1 from Theodore Tso (tytso@xxxxxxx) --- The writeback thread is only applicable for data files. While rmdir() is only applicable for directories. Also, in both of these function traces, what you referenced is i_state bits being *read*: [WRITE] dirty = inode->i_state & I_DIRTY; ^^^^^ not correct! That being said, there are places in fs/fs-writeback.c where i_state is modified, and there are code paths where ext4_orphan_add() can be called on regular data files --- just not the ones you've listed in this bug. Can you recheck the call traces and make sure they are correct? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
