From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2008 21:49:36 +0000 (-0500) Subject: ext4: calculate journal credits correctly X-Git-Tag: v2.6.28-rc4~21^2~2 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ac51d83705c2a38c71f39cde99708b14e6212a60;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git ext4: calculate journal credits correctly This fixes a 2.6.27 regression which was introduced in commit a02908f1. We weren't passing the chunk parameter down to the two subections, ext4_indirect_trans_blocks() and ext4_ext_index_trans_blocks(), with the result that massively overestimate the amount of credits needed by ext4_da_writepages, especially in the non-extents case. This causes failures especially on /boot partitions, which tend to be small and non-extent using since GRUB doesn't handle extents.
