From b5e2368baeddf401bf3da9e364fc1c96676279cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:33:44 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: re-enable -o discard functionality in no-journal mode This is a revert of commit b56ff9d397ce, which removed the call to ext4_issue_discard() to fix a BUG reported because ext4_issue_discard() was being called from inside a block group spinlock. As it turns out this bug had already been fixed by Lukas Czerner in commit 53fdcf992d61 by the simple expedient of moving when we call ext4_issue_discard() outside the spinlock. So it should be safe to re-enable this functionality, which I tested by putting an BUG_ON(in_atomic) just after the restored callsite to ext4_issue_discard().
