From 9421502b4fc894cc477be8fc49776830e37ca157 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joern Engel Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2010 21:30:58 +0100 Subject: [LogFS] Fix bdev erases Erases for block devices were always just emulated by writing 0xff. Some time back the write was removed and only the page cache was changed to 0xff. Superficialy a good idea with two problems: 1. Touching the page cache isn't necessary either. 2. However, writing out 0xff _is_ necessary for the journal. As the journal is scanned linearly, an old non-overwritten commit entry can be used on next mount and cause havoc. This should fix both aspects. --- fs/logfs/journal.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'fs/logfs/journal.c') diff --git a/fs/logfs/journal.c b/fs/logfs/journal.c index 2f2e8e4fd02..c0e7d63221d 100644 --- a/fs/logfs/journal.c +++ b/fs/logfs/journal.c @@ -392,7 +392,7 @@ static int journal_erase_segment(struct logfs_area *area) u64 ofs; int err; - err = logfs_erase_segment(sb, area->a_segno); + err = logfs_erase_segment(sb, area->a_segno, 1); if (err) return err; -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
