Subject: [PATCH] nfs: remove spurious WARN_ON_ONCE in write path
Date: Mon,  3 Nov 2014 15:19:45 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1415045985-60963-1-git-send-email-dros@primarydata.com> (raw)

This WARN_ON_ONCE was supposed to catch reference counting bugs, but can
trigger in inappropriate situations.

This was reproducible using NFSv2 on an architecture with 64K pages -- we
verified that it was not a reference counting bug and the warning was
safe to ignore.
