From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Sat, 13 Jul 2013 04:40:35 +0000 (-0400) Subject: ext4: don't allow ext4_free_blocks() to fail due to ENOMEM X-Git-Tag: v3.11-rc2~27^2 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e7676a704ee0a1ef71a6b23760b5a8f6896cb1a1;p=pandora-kernel.git ext4: don't allow ext4_free_blocks() to fail due to ENOMEM The filesystem should not be marked inconsistent if ext4_free_blocks() is not able to allocate memory. Unfortunately some callers (most notably ext4_truncate) don't have a way to reflect an error back up to the VFS. And even if we did, most userspace applications won't deal with most system calls returning ENOMEM anyway.
