Subject: [PATCH] Move vn_iowait() earlier in the reclaim path
Date: Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:43:29 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4897F691.6010806@sgi.com> (raw)

Currently by the time we get to vn_iowait() in xfs_reclaim() we have already
gone through xfs_inactive()/xfs_free() and recycled the inode.  Any I/O
completions still running (file size updates and unwritten extent conversions)
may be working on an inode that is no longer valid.
