Honza --- From 47085f1ac03eaca9e4d7a5f8f1e40e87d3879512 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 16:15:19 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Release page references acquired in ext4_da_block_invalidatepages We forget to release page references we acquire in ext4_da_block_invalidatepages. Luckily, this function gets called only if we are not able to allocate blocks for delay-allocated data so that function should better never be called. Also cleanup handling of index variable.
