Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Fix file system hang due to corrupt jinode values.
Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2008 20:22:58 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1213541578-1351-1-git-send-email-aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
While commiting the transaction we set the i_flags
of jbd2_inode to JI_COMMIT_RUNNING. This is needed to ensure
that when we are commiting the transaction we don't release
the inode via iput. In ext4_clear_inode we wait for the
flag to be cleared before we release the inode.
In ext4_new_inode we call iput for different failure cases
before initializing the jbd2_inode. This cause the failure
case to hang in iput as show below. Fix the same by initializing
jbd2_inode early.
