From: Anatol Pomozov <anatol.pomozov@xxxxxxxxx> ------------------- This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment. ------------------- commit c9b92530a723ac5ef8e352885a1862b18f31b2f5 upstream. Instead of checking whether the handle is valid, we check if journal is enabled. This avoids taking the s_orphan_lock mutex in all cases when there is no journal in use, including the error paths where ext4_orphan_del() is called with a handle set to NULL.
