The WARN_ON checking whether i_mutex is held in pagecache_isize_extended() was wrong because some filesystems (e.g. XFS) use different locks for serialization of truncates / writes. So just remove the check. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> --- mm/truncate.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) Ted can you please merge this patch?
