Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2008 22:28:38 -0400 From: Theodore Tso <tytso@....edu> To: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@...hat.com>, Eric Paris <eparis@...hat.com>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH, RFC] jbd2: Call the commit callback before the transaction could get dropped This is what I plan to send to Linus to fix the problem. commit 6fecbc3c7d27800e90a5f5fbca2fb2847e2c2854 Author: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu> Date: Mon Oct 27 22:11:39 2008 -0400 jbd2: Call the commit callback before the transaction could get dropped The transaction can potentially get dropped if there are no buffers that need to be written. Make sure we call the commit callback before potentially deciding to drop the transaction. Also avoid dereferencing the commit_transaction pointer in the marker for the same reason.
