Subject: [PATCH 7/8] xfs: handle CIl transaction commit failures correctly
Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2011 14:53:20 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1296100401-17135-8-git-send-email-david@fromorbit.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1296100401-17135-1-git-send-email-david@fromorbit.com>

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Failure to commit a transaction into the CIL is not handled
correctly. This currently can only happen when racing with a
shutdown and requires an explicit shutdown check, so it rare and can
be avoided. Remove the shutdown check and make the CIL commit a void
function to indicate it will always succeed, thereby removing the
incorrectly handled failure case.
