[PATCH 3/8] ocfs2: prohibit refcounted swapfiles

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

 



The swapfile mechanism calls bmap once to find all the swap file
mappings, which means that we cannot properly support CoW remapping.
Therefore, error out if the swap code tries to call bmap on a
refcounted file.
