[PATCH] Fix mpage_writepage() for pages with buffers

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

 



When using FAT on a block device which supports rw_page, we can hit
BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page)) in try_to_free_buffers().  This is because we
call clean_buffers() after unlocking the page we've written.  Introduce a
new clean_page_buffers() which cleans all buffers associated with a page
and call it from within bdev_write_page().
