Subject: sb_bread & bforget
Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2006 15:03:26 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bda6d13a0602131503n14650120gaa39eda9a38aefbf@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
New filesystem is using BTrees for directories. An update will touch
multiple blocks, loaded into buffer_head structures with sb_bread.
If update fails (only possible causes are read error & disk full), is it
kosher to call bforget on all modified buffer_head structures, or
does that have some unintended consequences?
