- jbd-strictly-check-for-write-errors-on-data-buffers.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     jbd: strictly check for write errors on data buffers
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     jbd-strictly-check-for-write-errors-on-data-buffers.patch

This patch was dropped because I don't think we want to go read-only on file data write errors

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: jbd: strictly check for write errors on data buffers
From: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com>

In ordered mode, we should abort journaling when an I/O error has occurred
on a file data buffer in the committing transaction.  But there can be
data buffers which are not checked for error:

  (a) the buffer which has already been written out by pdflush
  (b) the buffer which has been unlocked before scanned in the
      t_locked_list loop

This patch adds missing error checks and aborts journaling
appropriately.
