The patch titled ext4: return after ext4_error in case of failures has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ext4-return-after-ext4_error-in-case-of-failures.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ext4: return after ext4_error in case of failures From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This fix some instances where we were continuing after calling ext4_error. ext4_error call panic only if errors=panic mount option is set. So we need to make sure we return correctly after ext4_error call Reported-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <linux-ext4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ext4/balloc.c | 12 +++++++++--- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff -puN fs/ext4/balloc.c~ext4-return-after-ext4_error-in-case-of-failures fs/ext4/balloc.c --- a/fs/ext4/balloc.c~ext4-return-after-ext4_error-in-case-of-failures +++ a/fs/ext4/balloc.c @@ -234,11 +234,13 @@ read_block_bitmap(struct super_block *sb } else { bh = sb_bread(sb, bitmap_blk); } - if (!bh) + if (!bh) { ext4_error (sb, __FUNCTION__, "Cannot read block bitmap - " "block_group = %d, block_bitmap = %llu", block_group, bitmap_blk); + return NULL; + } /* check whether block bitmap block number is set */ if (!block_in_use(bitmap_blk, sb, bh->b_data)) { @@ -630,11 +632,13 @@ do_more: in_range(ext4_inode_bitmap(sb, desc), block, count) || in_range(block, ext4_inode_table(sb, desc), sbi->s_itb_per_group) || in_range(block + count - 1, ext4_inode_table(sb, desc), - sbi->s_itb_per_group)) + sbi->s_itb_per_group)) { ext4_error (sb, "ext4_free_blocks", "Freeing blocks in system zones - " "Block = %llu, count = %lu", block, count); + goto error_return; + } /* * We are about to start releasing blocks in the bitmap, @@ -1745,11 +1749,13 @@ allocated: in_range(ret_block, ext4_inode_table(sb, gdp), EXT4_SB(sb)->s_itb_per_group) || in_range(ret_block + num - 1, ext4_inode_table(sb, gdp), - EXT4_SB(sb)->s_itb_per_group)) + EXT4_SB(sb)->s_itb_per_group)) { ext4_error(sb, "ext4_new_block", "Allocating block in system zone - " "blocks from %llu, length %lu", ret_block, num); + goto out; + } performed_allocation = 1; _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx are ext2-return-after-ext2_error-in-case-of-failures.patch ext2-change-the-default-behaviour-on-error.patch ext3-return-after-ext3_error-in-case-of-failures.patch ext3-change-the-default-behaviour-on-error.patch - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
