From e6c9f5c1888097c936334bf9740024520ca47b8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2005 15:19:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Fix JBD race in t_forget list handling Fix race between journal_commit_transaction() and other places as journal_unmap_buffer() that are adding buffers to transaction's t_forget list. We have to protect against such places by holding j_list_lock even when traversing the t_forget list. The fact that other places can only add buffers to the list makes the locking easier. OTOH the lock ranking complicates the stuff...
