Subject: [PATCH] Remove unnecessary assertion
Date: Thu, 04 Dec 2008 17:27:47 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49377863.1070109@sgi.com> (raw)
Hit this assert because an inode was tagged with XFS_ICI_RECLAIM_TAG but
not XFS_IRECLAIMABLE|XFS_IRECLAIM. This is because xfs_iget_cache_hit()
first clears XFS_IRECLAIMABLE and then calls __xfs_inode_clear_reclaim_tag()
while only holding the pag_ici_lock in read mode so we can race with
xfs_reclaim_inodes_ag(). Looks like xfs_reclaim_inodes_ag() will do the
right thing anyway so just remove the assert.
Thanks to Christoph for pointing out where the problem was.
