I don't think that's the case. I think reiserfs just calls __wait_on_buffer just to skip the duplicate buffer_locked() test since every call is in an "if buffer_locked()" block. I don't think it's passing in zero-ref buffers anywhere, and I'd prefer it to explode if it is. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvI4lIACgkQLPWxlyuTD7Ju9wCgphZEI8r9jB+75PIxE4l/S/H+ jlEAnR+vo57PB2ZH+PhTSoxWnQ9V74M3 =bQAA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
