[PATCH] xfs: negative_icount.patch V2

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

 



can somebody please review this for me?

Thanks,
------------

Because of delayed updates to sb_icount field in the super block, it is
possible to allocate over maxicount number of inodes.  This causes the
arithmetic to calculate a negative number of free inodes in user
commands like df or stat -f.  

Since maxicount is a somewhat arbitrary number, a slight over allocation
is not critical but user commands should be displayed as 0 or greater
and never go negative.  To do this the value in the stats buffer f_ffree
is capped to never go negative.
