Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ext4: nojournal mode fixes
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 17:48:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260211140209.30337-1-jack@suse.cz> (raw)
Hello,
here are two ext4 fixes for nojournal mode. The first fix is fixing handling of
uninitialized inodes in recently_deleted() used in nojournal mode which was
leading to occasional fstests failures for me (which became much more likely
after the second patch due to timing changes). The second patch fixes a bug in
ext4_fsync() which was not properly writing out inode metadata in nojournal
mode. It is kind of a band aid but proper solution is going to be rather
intrusive and practically unbackportable so I think having it is worth it.
