Subject: ext3 0.9.13 for linux 2.4.13-pre6
Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2001 18:21:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3BD3747F.6893E49D@zip.com.au> (raw)
An ext3 patch for the latest Linus kernel is at
http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/
The changes are quite small:
- Tided up some code now that quotas in Linus and -ac kernels are
synced up.
- Fix a race which can cause a null-pointer deref in ext3_writepage().
This bug has been there for a long time, but only manifested in
2.3.13-pre for some reason.
I've tested this pretty hard, every which way. It looks OK.
There was a report against ext3-for-2.4.10 that mark_buffer_clean()
was being called against an already-clean buffer. This has not
been reproducable (in later kernels, at least). If anyone sees
the message "jbd_preclean_buffer_check: clean of clean buffer"
come out, please shout. This can only happen if ext3 debugging
support is enabled in config.
