Its filename was ocfs2-fix-race-between-dio-and-recover-orphan.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ From: Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ocfs2: fix race between dio and recover orphan During direct io the inode will be added to orphan first and then deleted from orphan. There is a race window that the orphan entry will be deleted twice and thus trigger the BUG when validating OCFS2_DIO_ORPHANED_FL in ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan. ocfs2_direct_IO_write ... ocfs2_add_inode_to_orphan >>>>>>>> race window, another node may rm the file and then down, this node take care of orphan recovery and clear flag OCFS2_DIO_ORPHANED_FL ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan Take inode mutex lock to fix this race case.
