This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled jfs: fix a couple races to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.4. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 93b4545b6f4844f4094f3555a223f5563bcd3784 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Kleikamp <dave.kleikamp@oracle.com> Date: Wed, 1 May 2013 11:08:38 -0500 Subject: jfs: fix a couple races commit 73aaa22d5ffb2630456bac2f9a4ed9b81d0d7271 upstream. This patch fixes races uncovered by xfstests testcase 068. One race is the result of jfs_sync() trying to write a sync point to the journal after it has been frozen (or possibly in the process). Since freezing sync's the journal, there is no need to write a sync point so we simply want to return. The second involves jfs_write_inode() being called on a deleted inode. It calls jfs_flush_journal which is held up by the jfs_commit thread doing the final iput on the same deleted inode, which itself is waiting for the I_SYNC flag to be cleared. jfs_write_inode need not do anything when i_nlink is zero, which is the easy fix.
