Subject: [Cluster-devel] GFS2: Improve bug trap code in ->releasepage()
Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 12:21:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1303212090.2702.42.camel@dolmen> (raw)
If the buffer is dirty or pinned, then as well as printing a
warning, we should also refuse to release the page in
question.
Currently this can occur if there is a race between mmap()ed
writers and O_DIRECT on the same file. With the addition of
->launder_page() in the future, we should be able to close
this gap.
