Message-Id: <1444053572-15671-1-git-send-email-jack@suse.com> Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2015 15:59:32 +0200 From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.com> To: Ted Tso <tytso@....edu> Cc: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org, Jan Kara <jack@...e.com> Subject: [PATCH] jbd2: Fix checkpoint list cleanup Unlike comments and expectation of callers journal_clean_one_cp_list() returned 1 not only if it freed the transaction but also if it freed some buffers in the transaction. That could make __jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list() skip processing t_checkpoint_io_list and continue with processing the next transaction. This is mostly a cosmetic issue since the only result is we can sometimes free less memory than we could. But it's still worth fixing. Fix journal_clean_one_cp_list() to return 1 only if the transaction was really freed.
