[PATCH 13/13] ext4_get_link(): fix breakage in RCU mode

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

 



1) errors from ext4_getblk() should not be propagated to caller
unless we are really sure that we would've gotten the same error
in non-RCU pathwalk.
2) we leak buffer_heads if ext4_getblk() is successful, but bh is
not uptodate.
