From 2216db70c95a9610f5279b8da53bec614d98270f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Marzinski Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2012 09:52:58 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] GFS2: Write out dirty inode metadata in delayed deletes If a dirty GFS2 inode was being deleted but was in use by another node, its metadata was not getting written out before GFS2 checked for dirty buffers in gfs2_ail_flush(). GFS2 was relying on inode_go_sync() to write out the metadata when the other node tried to free the file, but it failed the error check before it got that far. This patch writes out the metadata before calling gfs2_ail_flush() Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse --- fs/gfs2/super.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/gfs2/super.c b/fs/gfs2/super.c index 79cac7057691..a8d90f2f576c 100644 --- a/fs/gfs2/super.c +++ b/fs/gfs2/super.c @@ -1545,6 +1545,11 @@ static void gfs2_evict_inode(struct inode *inode) out_truncate: gfs2_log_flush(sdp, ip->i_gl); + if (test_bit(GLF_DIRTY, &ip->i_gl->gl_flags)) { + struct address_space *metamapping = gfs2_glock2aspace(ip->i_gl); + filemap_fdatawrite(metamapping); + filemap_fdatawait(metamapping); + } write_inode_now(inode, 1); gfs2_ail_flush(ip->i_gl, 0); -- 2.30.2
