From 8c20871998c082f6fbc963f1449a5ba5140ee39a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sandeen Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2011 09:54:31 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Properly count journal credits for long symlinks Commit df5e6223407e ("ext4: fix deadlock in ext4_symlink() in ENOSPC conditions") recalculated the number of credits needed for a long symlink, in the process of splitting it into two transactions. However, the first credit calculation under-counted because if selinux is enabled, credits are needed to create the selinux xattr as well. Overrunning the reservation will result in an OOPS in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() due to this assert: J_ASSERT_JH(jh, handle->h_buffer_credits > 0); Fix this by increasing the reservation size.
