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

 



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

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

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx>

commit 4490e803e1fe9fab8db5025e44e23b55df54078b upstream.

When joining a transaction with TRANS_JOIN_NOSTART, if we don't find a
running transaction we end up creating one. This goes against the purpose
of TRANS_JOIN_NOSTART which is to join a running transaction if its state
is at or below the state TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START, otherwise return an
-ENOENT error and don't start a new transaction. So fix this to not create
a new transaction if there's no running transaction at or below that
state.
