Subject: [PATCH] ext3: ext3_symlink should use GFP_NOFS allocations inside
Date: Thu, 09 Mar 2006 20:19:15 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <44106393.2050207@openvz.org> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 521 bytes --]
This patch fixes illegal __GFP_FS allocation inside ext3
transaction in ext3_symlink().
Such allocation may re-enter ext3 code from
try_to_free_pages. But JBD/ext3 code keeps a pointer to current
journal handle in task_struct and, hence, is not reentrable.
This bug led to "Assertion failure in journal_dirty_metadata()" messages.
