Subject: [PATCH] fs: fix buffer invalidation in invalidate_list
Date: Sat, 23 Oct 2010 19:07:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101023170720.GA1832@lst.de> (raw)
We must not call invalidate_inode_buffers in invalidate_list unless the
inode can be reclaimed. If we remove the buffer association of a busy
inode fsync won't find the buffers anymore. As invalidate_inode_buffers
is called from various others sources than umount this actually does
matter in practice.
While at it change the loop to a more natural form and remove the
WARN_ON for I_NEW, wich we already tested a few lines above.
