[patch added to the 3.12 stable tree] ext4: move check under lock scope to close a race.

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

 



From: Davide Italiano <dccitaliano@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 280227a75b56ab5d35854f3a77ef74a7ad56a203 upstream

fallocate() checks that the file is extent-based and returns
EOPNOTSUPP in case is not. Other tasks can convert from and to
indirect and extent so it's safe to check only after grabbing
the inode mutex.
