I had some patches on top, but they were completely unrelated. I cannot reproduce this warning on v3.0-rc3 as well as linux-next. This warning message appears after upgrading from an older linus tree to the current linus tree? There is only one commit since 2.6.39, which looks pretty unrelated prototype change: git log v2.6.39..v3.0-rc3 fs/fs-writeback.c commit aa38572954ade52 fs: pass exact type of data dirties to ->dirty_inode Looking further back, there are some locking changes between .38 and .39, however no one has reported problems with .39. git shortlog v2.6.38..v2.6.39 fs/fs-writeback.c Dave Chinner (4): fs: protect inode->i_state with inode->i_lock fs: move i_sb_list out from under inode_lock fs: move i_wb_list out from under inode_lock fs: pull inode->i_lock up out of writeback_single_inode Lucas De Marchi (1): Fix common misspellings Thanks, Fengguang > > ------------[ cut here ]------------ > WARNING: at /home/ak/lsrc/git/linux-2.6/fs/fs-writeback.c:356 writeback_single_inode+0x65/0x1b7() > Modules linked in: > Pid: 3597, comm: flush-8:0 Not tainted 3.0.0-rc3-00061-g522a899 #164 > Call Trace: > [<ffffffff81039919>] warn_slowpath_common+0x85/0x9d > [<ffffffff8103994b>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x1c > [<ffffffff810ff887>] writeback_single_inode+0x65/0x1b7 > [<ffffffff810ffbe5>] writeback_sb_inodes+0xba/0x134 > [<ffffffff81100592>] writeback_inodes_wb+0x16f/0x181 > [<ffffffff8110080f>] wb_writeback+0x26b/0x3a7 > [<ffffffff81100a92>] wb_do_writeback+0x147/0x1a0 > [<ffffffff81100b77>] bdi_writeback_thread+0x8c/0x20f > [<ffffffff81100aeb>] ? wb_do_writeback+0x1a0/0x1a0 > [<ffffffff81100aeb>] ? wb_do_writeback+0x1a0/0x1a0 > [<ffffffff81053f11>] kthread+0x82/0x8a > [<ffffffff815e78d4>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 > [<ffffffff81053e8f>] ? kthread_worker_fn+0x13a/0x13a > [<ffffffff815e78d0>] ? gs_change+0xb/0xb > ---[ end trace fc0a60eb73c3e138 ]--- > > -Andi > > > -- > ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Speaking for myself only > -- > 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 -- 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
