Subject: [090/165] ext4: Handle -EDQUOT error on write
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:15:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100730171507.787587220@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100730171550.GA1299@kroah.com
2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
commit 1db913823c0f8360fccbd24ca67eb073966a5ffd upstream (as of v2.6.33-rc6)
We need to release the journal before we do a write_inode. Otherwise
we could deadlock.
