Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 22:47:24 +0300 From: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@...nvz.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org, Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@...nvz.org> Subject: [PATCH 6/7] ext4: use nofail variant of inode_setattr() After we updated i_disk_size and stop the journal it is too late for error handling from inode_setattr(). Since inode_change_ok() is now responsible for all necessery checks we may call __inode_setattr() which can not fail.
