From 9e73f571ea3afffca78c1f54128d57796e27532f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Peterson Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2012 09:15:52 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] GFS2: Ensure rindex is uptodate for fallocate This patch fixes a problem whereby gfs2_grow was failing and causing GFS2 to assert. The problem was that when GFS2's fallocate operation tried to acquire an "allocation" it made sure the rindex was up to date, and if not, it called gfs2_rindex_update. However, if the file being fallocated was the rindex itself, it was already locked at that point. By calling gfs2_rindex_update at an earlier point in time, we bring rindex up to date and thereby avoid trying to lock it when the "allocation" is acquired.
