From aaa4059bc2dca7fa816624a28db1958c3a22df9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2005 15:00:16 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ext3: Fix unmapped buffers in transaction's lists Fix the problem (BUG 4964) with unmapped buffers in transaction's t_sync_data list. The problem is we need to call filesystem's own invalidatepage() from block_write_full_page(). block_write_full_page() must call filesystem's invalidatepage(). Otherwise following nasty race can happen: proc 1 proc 2 ------ ------ - write some new data to 'offset' => bh gets to the transactions data list - starts truncate => i_size set to new size - mpage_writepages() - ext3_ordered_writepage() to 'offset' - block_write_full_page() - page->index > end_index+1 - block_invalidatepage() - discard_buffer() - clear_buffer_mapped() - commit triggers and finds unmapped buffer - BOOM!
