Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2009 18:33:52 +0100 From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz> To: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Cc: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org, Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz> Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ext3: Fix false EIO errors When machine is under heavy memory pressure, it can happen that the page we want to copy data from is paged out from memory before we copy data from it and thus we are called with copied == 0. Generally, we should not file buffers into journal lists if the don't really contain uptodate data. So fix the range of buffers we file to journal list to contain only buffers with copied data.
