This is a note to let you know that we have just queued up the patch titled Subject: ext4: calculate journal credits correctly to the 2.6.27-stable tree. Its filename is ext4-calculate-journal-credits-correctly.patch A git repo of this tree can be found at http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary From tytso@mit.edu Wed Dec 3 10:44:36 2008 From: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2008 11:05:38 -0500 Subject: ext4: calculate journal credits correctly To: stable@kernel.org Cc: Ext4 Developers List <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org>, "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Message-ID: <1226851540-8032-19-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> From: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> (cherry picked from commit ac51d83705c2a38c71f39cde99708b14e6212a60) 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.
