Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2011 10:01:10 +0300 From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@...il.com> To: Yang Ruirui <ruirui.r.yang@...to.com> Cc: tytso@....edu, Ext4 Developers List <linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Re: [PATCH] ext4: release page cache in ext4_mb_load_buddy error path Hi Yang , The patch looks correct, but in my opinion a nicer fix would be to set e4b->bd_bitmap_page = page; or e4b->bd_buddy_page = page; right after assigning a new value to the temp variable 'page'. and keeping the cleanup code in the error path as it is. It's a matter of taste and code readability. Amir.
