[PATCH 0/3] cachefiles, afs: mm wait fixes

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

 



Here are some patches to fix page waiting-related issues in cachefiles and
afs[1]:

 (1) In cachefiles, remove the use of the wait_bit_key struct to access
     something that's actually in wait_page_key format.  The proper struct
     is now available in the header, so that should be used instead.

 (2) Add a proper wait function for waiting killably on the page writeback
     flag.  This includes a recent bugfix here (presumably commit
     c2407cf7d22d0c0d94cf20342b3b8f06f1d904e7).

 (3) In afs, use the function added in (2) rather than using
     wait_on_page_bit_killable() which doesn't have the aforementioned
     bugfix.

     Note that I modified this to work with the upstream code where the
     page pointer isn't cached in a local variable.

The patches can be found here:
