When writepages fails, we make the pages as in error (PG_error flag?) and presumably they are still dirty. Why in the world would anyone free the pages just because we failed the first time and need to write them again later? Do you where (presumably in /mm) pages could be freed that are still dirty (it is hard to find where the PG_error flag is checked etc)? -- Thanks, Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
