Subject: - ext3-abort-ext3-if-the-journal-has-aborted.patch removed from -mm tree


The patch titled
     ext3: abort ext3 if the journal has aborted
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     ext3-abort-ext3-if-the-journal-has-aborted.patch

This patch was dropped because I don't think we want to go read-only on file data write errors

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Subject: ext3: abort ext3 if the journal has aborted
From: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@...achi.com>

If the journal has aborted due to a checkpointing failure, we have to keep
the contents of the journal space.  ext3_put_super() detects the journal
abort, then it invokes ext3_abort() to make the filesystem read only and
keep needs_recovery flag.
