Message-id: <1447810474-14840-2-git-send-email-daeho.jeong@samsung.com> Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2015 10:34:33 +0900 From: Daeho Jeong <daeho.jeong@...sung.com> To: tytso@....edu, linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org, daeho.jeong@...sung.com Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ext4: remove incorrect check for inode journal mode in ext4_writepages() Now, in ext4, there is only one writepages() function and it is shared by all the inode modes. Therefore, BUG_ON() for checking journaled inode mode in ext4_writepages() is not correct anymore because, if per-file data journaling of a file is enabled while ext4_writepages() is being executed, this BUG_ON() function can cause a kernel panic unintentionally even on "nodelalloc" mode.
