Subject: [PATCH v2] xfs: use percpu_counter_read_positive for mp->m_icount
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2015 15:40:23 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1429256423-9809-1-git-send-email-xuw2015@gmail.com> (raw)

From: George Wang <xuw2015@gmail.com>

Function percpu_counter_read just return the current counter, which can be
negative. This will cause the checking of "allocated inode
counts <= m_maxicount" false positive. Use percpu_counter_read_positive can
solve this problem, and be consistent with the purpose to introduce percpu
mechanism to xfs.
