But what *is* the fix? (filemap_nopage?) For ->writepage() - nothing. It _is_ asynchronous and it _can_ fail. Due to failing allocations, IO errors, whatever. Now, the fs consistency stuff is a different story. Fixes had been in -ac since before 2.4.0 and I distinctly remember at least one of 3 area getting synced with -linus. My fault - I assumed that the whole patch went there at that point. I'll try to dig the rest out. 2.4.9-ac* is probably a good starting point - they are in generic_file_write() and in __block_write_full_page() - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
