From 3d9b1cdd2455017c6aa25bc2442092b81438981f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Qu Fuping Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2005 10:36:08 -0500 Subject: JFS: fsync wrong behavior when I/O failure occurs This is half of a patch that Qu Fuping submitted in April. The first part was applied to fs/mpage.c in 2.6.12-rc4. jfs_fsync should return error, but it doesn't wait for the metadata page to be uptodate, e.g.: jfs_fsync->jfs_commit_inode->txCommit->diWrite->read_metapage-> __get_metapage->read_cache_page reads a page from disk. Because read is async, when read_cache_page: err = filler(data, page), filler will not return error, it just submits I/O request and returns. So, page is not uptodate. Checking only if(IS_ERROR(mp->page)) is not enough, we should add "|| !PageUptodate(mp->page)" Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp --- fs/jfs/jfs_metapage.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'fs/jfs') diff --git a/fs/jfs/jfs_metapage.c b/fs/jfs/jfs_metapage.c index 8cb803b54bc..02add5d8ff8 100644 --- a/fs/jfs/jfs_metapage.c +++ b/fs/jfs/jfs_metapage.c @@ -640,7 +640,7 @@ struct metapage *__get_metapage(struct inode *inode, unsigned long lblock, } else { page = read_cache_page(mapping, page_index, (filler_t *)mapping->a_ops->readpage, NULL); - if (IS_ERR(page)) { + if (IS_ERR(page) || !PageUptodate(mp->page)) { jfs_err("read_cache_page failed!"); return NULL; } -- cgit
