[PATCH 2/2] nilfs2: prevent kernel bug at submit_bh_wbc()

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

 



Fix a bug where nilfs_get_block() returns a successful status when
searching and inserting the specified block both fail inconsistently.
If this inconsistent behavior is not due to a previously fixed bug,
then an unexpected race is occurring, so return a temporary error
-EAGAIN instead.

This prevents callers such as __block_write_begin_int() from
requesting a read into a buffer that is not mapped, which would cause
the BUG_ON check for the BH_Mapped flag in submit_bh_wbc() to fail.
