From ac51d83705c2a38c71f39cde99708b14e6212a60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2008 16:49:36 -0500 Subject: ext4: calculate journal credits correctly This fixes a 2.6.27 regression which was introduced in commit a02908f1. We weren't passing the chunk parameter down to the two subections, ext4_indirect_trans_blocks() and ext4_ext_index_trans_blocks(), with the result that massively overestimate the amount of credits needed by ext4_da_writepages, especially in the non-extents case. This causes failures especially on /boot partitions, which tend to be small and non-extent using since GRUB doesn't handle extents.
