From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Steven Whitehouse Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2012 09:25:43 +0100 Subject: [Cluster-devel] [PATCH 22/27] GFS2: Stop block extents at the end of bitmaps In-Reply-To: <1348647948-3219-1-git-send-email-swhiteho@redhat.com> References: <1348647948-3219-1-git-send-email-swhiteho@redhat.com> Message-ID: <1348647948-3219-23-git-send-email-swhiteho@redhat.com> List-Id: To: cluster-devel.redhat.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: Bob Peterson This patch stops multiple block allocations if a nonzero return code is received from gfs2_rbm_from_block. Without this patch, if enough pressure is put on the file system, you get a kernel warning quickly followed by: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [] gfs2_alloc_blocks+0x2c8/0x880 [gfs2] With this patch, things run normally.
