Maybe that patch can even add xfs_rw_lock or similar helpers to manipulate the i_mutex, the iolock, and the iolock variable together? Speaking of that, shouldn't xfs_file_aio_read also take the iolock exclusive during the page invalidation and then demote it, just like the write case? The above helpers would enforce that nicely. > + if ((pos & target->bt_smask) || (count & target->bt_smask)) > + return XFS_ERROR(-EINVAL); For the error traps to work this needs to be -XFS_ERROR(EINVAL); _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
