Subject: [PATCH 2/3] FS-Cache: Reduce cookie ref count if submit fails.
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2014 12:58:21 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <53EB992D.6040608@adfin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1407948737.git.milosz@adfin.com>
I've been seeing issues with disposing cookies under vma pressure. The symptom
is that the refcount gets out of sync. In this case we fail to decrement the
refcount if submit fails. I found this while auditing the error in and around
cookie operations.
