The patch titled ext4: fix error processing in mb_free_blocks has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ext4-fix-error-processing-in-mb_free_blocks.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ext4: fix error processing in mb_free_blocks From: Shen Feng <shen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The error processing of the return value of mb_free_blocks is meanless because it only returns 0. This fix includes - make mb_free_blocks return void - remove the error processing part in callers - unlock group before calling ext4_error in mb_free_blocks Signed-off-by: Shen Feng <shen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mingming Cao <cmm@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ext4/mballoc.c | 13 +++++-------- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff -puN fs/ext4/mballoc.c~ext4-fix-error-processing-in-mb_free_blocks fs/ext4/mballoc.c --- a/fs/ext4/mballoc.c~ext4-fix-error-processing-in-mb_free_blocks +++ a/fs/ext4/mballoc.c @@ -1051,7 +1051,7 @@ static void mb_set_bits(spinlock_t *lock } } -static int mb_free_blocks(struct inode *inode, struct ext4_buddy *e4b, +static void mb_free_blocks(struct inode *inode, struct ext4_buddy *e4b, int first, int count) { int block = 0; @@ -1091,11 +1091,12 @@ static int mb_free_blocks(struct inode * blocknr += block; blocknr += le32_to_cpu(EXT4_SB(sb)->s_es->s_first_data_block); - + ext4_unlock_group(sb, e4b->bd_group); ext4_error(sb, __func__, "double-free of inode" " %lu's block %llu(bit %u in group %lu)\n", inode ? inode->i_ino : 0, blocknr, block, e4b->bd_group); + ext4_lock_group(sb, e4b->bd_group); } mb_clear_bit(block, EXT4_MB_BITMAP(e4b)); e4b->bd_info->bb_counters[order]++; @@ -1133,8 +1134,6 @@ static int mb_free_blocks(struct inode * } while (1); } mb_check_buddy(e4b); - - return 0; } static int mb_find_extent(struct ext4_buddy *e4b, int order, int block, @@ -2694,8 +2693,7 @@ ext4_mb_free_committed_blocks(struct sup ext4_lock_group(sb, md->group); for (i = 0; i < md->num; i++) { mb_debug(" %u", md->blocks[i]); - err = mb_free_blocks(NULL, &e4b, md->blocks[i], 1); - BUG_ON(err != 0); + mb_free_blocks(NULL, &e4b, md->blocks[i], 1); } mb_debug("\n"); ext4_unlock_group(sb, md->group); @@ -4488,10 +4486,9 @@ do_more: ext4_mb_free_metadata(handle, &e4b, block_group, bit, count); } else { ext4_lock_group(sb, block_group); - err = mb_free_blocks(inode, &e4b, bit, count); + mb_free_blocks(inode, &e4b, bit, count); ext4_mb_return_to_preallocation(inode, &e4b, block, count); ext4_unlock_group(sb, block_group); - BUG_ON(err != 0); } spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, block_group)); _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from shen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx are origin.patch ext2-remove-double-definitions-of-xattr-macros.patch ext3-improve-some-code-in-rb-tree-part-of-dirc.patch ext3-remove-double-definitions-of-xattr-macros.patch reiserfs-remove-double-definitions-of-xattr-macros.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
