From 479bd73ac425ff117efeea051077b4277baab52e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaegeuk Kim Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2013 16:04:53 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: should cover i_xattr_nid with its xattr node page lock Previously, f2fs_setxattr assigns i_xattr_nid in the inode page inconsistently. The scenario is: = Thread 1 = = Thread 2 = = fi->i_xattr_nid = = on-disk nid = f2fs_setxattr 0 0 new_node_page X 0 sync_inode_page X X checkpoint X X -. grab_cache_page X X | --> allocate a new xattr node block or -ENOSPC <----------------' At this moment, the checkpoint stores inconsistent data where the inode has i_xattr_nid but actual xattr node block is not allocated yet. So, we should assign the real i_xattr_nid only after its xattr node block is allocated. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim --- Reading git-format-patch failed
