Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2020 16:01:15 +0200 From: Andrea Righi <andrea.righi@...onical.com> To: Harshad Shirwadkar <harshadshirwadkar@...il.com> Cc: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu>, Andreas Dilger <adilger.kernel@...ger.ca>, linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] ext4: properly check for dirty state in ext4_inode_datasync_dirty() ext4_inode_datasync_dirty() needs to return 'true' if the inode is dirty, 'false' otherwise, but the logic seems to be incorrectly changed by commit aa75f4d3daae ("ext4: main fast-commit commit path"). This introduces a problem with swap files that are always failing to be activated, showing this error in dmesg: [ 34.406479] swapon: file is not committed Simple test case to reproduce the problem: # fallocate -l 8G swapfile # chmod 0600 swapfile # mkswap swapfile # swapon swapfile Fix the logic to return the proper state of the inode.
