[PATCH v3 0/2] ext4: fix race between writepages and enabling EXT4_EXTENTS_FL

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

 



This series fixes a race between writepages and enabling EXT4_EXTENTS_FL
that could cause a WARN_ON() in ext4_add_complete_io() to be hit.  Patch
1 is a trivial renaming in preparation for patch 2 which is the actual
fix.  See patch 2 for the full details.

Changed in v3:
    Do the renaming in a separate patch.

Changed in v2:
    Instead of making ext4_writepages() read EXT4_EXTENTS_FL only once,
    make it so that EXT4_EXTENTS_FL can't be changed while
    ext4_writepages() is running.

Eric Biggers (2):
  ext4: rename s_journal_flag_rwsem to s_writepages_rwsem
  ext4: fix race between writepages and enabling EXT4_EXTENTS_FL
