Subject: [PATCH] ext2: clear uptodate flag on super block I/O error
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:04:49 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091116160449.3fc5e958@nehalam> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091113150719.9d31dde2.akpm@linux-foundation.org>

This fixes a WARN backtrace in mark_buffer_dirty() that occurs during
unmount when a USB or floppy device is removed. I reported this a kernel
regression, but looks like it might have been there for longer
than that.

The super block update from a previous operation has marked the buffer
as in error, and the flag has to be cleared before doing the update.
(Similar code already exists in ext4).
