This is a note to let you know that we have just queued up the patch titled Subject: ext4: Mark the buffer_heads as dirty and uptodate after prepare_write to the 2.6.27-stable tree. Its filename is ext4-mark-the-buffer_heads-as-dirty-and-uptodate-after-prepare_write.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 10:44:57 2008 From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2008 11:05:39 -0500 Subject: ext4: Mark the buffer_heads as dirty and uptodate after prepare_write To: stable@kernel.org Cc: Ext4 Developers List <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org>, "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>, "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Message-ID: <1226851540-8032-20-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (cherry picked from commit ed9b3e3379731e9f9d2f73f3d7fd9e7d2ce3df4a) We need to make sure we mark the buffer_heads as dirty and uptodate so that block_write_full_page write them correctly. This fixes mmap corruptions that can occur in low memory situations.
