4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2fab9faf9b27298c4536c1c1b14072ab18b8f80b ] The lustre-release patch commit bdc5bb52c554 ("LU-4933 osc: Automatically increase the max_dirty_mb") changed - if (cli->cl_dirty + PAGE_CACHE_SIZE <= cli->cl_dirty_max && + if (cli->cl_dirty_pages < cli->cl_dirty_max_pages && When this patch landed in Linux a couple of years later, it landed as - if (cli->cl_dirty + PAGE_SIZE <= cli->cl_dirty_max && + if (cli->cl_dirty_pages <= cli->cl_dirty_max_pages && which is clearly different ('<=' vs '<'), and allows cl_dirty_pages to increase beyond cl_dirty_max_pages - which causes a latter assertion to fails.
