Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:19:07 +0800 From: Zheng Liu <gnehzuil.liu@...il.com> To: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Cc: Zheng Liu <wenqing.lz@...bao.com> Subject: [PATCH] ext4: take i_mutex in ext4_symlink to eliminate a warning from ext4_truncate From: Zheng Liu <wenqing.lz@...bao.com> After applied this commit (8e4061cb), we will get a warning from ext4_truncate when i_mutex isn't taken. Here the assumption is that i_mutex should be taken when we do a truncation. In ext4_symlink we could need to call ext4_truncate to trim some blocks beyond i_size, but the i_mutex isn't taken.
