Since it was ignored on LKML, I guess this is the right list. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [PATCH] Fix race condition in AFFS Date: Tue, 08 May 2012 23:28:33 +0200 From: Vladimir 'φ-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org AFFS preallocates few blocks per inode as an optimisation. Unfortunately there is a race condition and the same blocks ends up being allocated for both data and metadata, metadata gets overwritten and so the file is partially unreadable. Here is a fix. Please indicate if this isn't the right place to submit this or my previous fs-related patches. -- Regards Vladimir 'φ-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko
