Another buffer bug :(
--
SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
When running
fsstress -v -d $DIR/tmp -n 1000 -p 1000 -l 2
on an ext2 filesystem with 1024 byte block size, on SMP i386 with 4096 byte
page size over loopback to an image file on a tmpfs filesystem, I would
very quickly hit
BUG_ON(!buffer_async_write(bh));
in fs/buffer.c:end_buffer_async_write
It seems that more than one request would be submitted for a given bh
at a time. __block_write_full_page looks like the culprit - with the
following patch things are very stable.
