Subject: [PATCH] splice: fix bad unlock_page() in error case
Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2007 15:18:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070720131812.GC11657@kernel.dk> (raw)
Hi,
If add_to_page_cache_lru() fails, the page will not be locked. But
splice jumps to an error path that does a page release and unlock,
causing a BUG() in unlock_page().
Fix this by adding one more label that just releases the page. This bug
was actually triggered on EL5 by gurudas pai <gurudas.pai@oracle.com>
using fio.
