[PATCH 4.14 216/222] btrfs: dont run delayed_iputs in commit

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

 



4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Josef Bacik <josef@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 30928e9baac238a7330085a1c5747f0b5df444b4 upstream.

This could result in a really bad case where we do something like

evict
  evict_refill_and_join
    btrfs_commit_transaction
      btrfs_run_delayed_iputs
        evict
          evict_refill_and_join
            btrfs_commit_transaction
... forever

We have plenty of other places where we run delayed iputs that are much
safer, let those do the work.
