Subject: [PATCH 6.12 0006/1376] netfs: Fix netfs_read_folio() to wait on writeback
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2026 08:40:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260912065607.689814190@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260912065607.535295758@linuxfoundation.org>
6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
commit ded0c6f1606061148c202825f7e53d711f9f84cf upstream.
Fix netfs_read_folio() to wait for an ongoing writeback to complete so that
it can trust the dirty flag and whatever is attached to folio->private
(folio->private may get cleaned up by the collector before it clears the
writeback flag).
Fixes: ee4cdf7ba857 ("netfs: Speed up buffered reading")
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260414082004.3756080-1-dhowells%40redhat.com
