XFS / Quota Bug in 2.6.17.x and 2.6.18x

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello!

The crash only occurs if you use quota and IDE without barrier support.

The Problem is, that on a new mount of a root filesystem - the flag VFS_RDONLY is set - and so no barrier check is done before checking quota. With this patch barrier check is done always. The partition should not be mounted at that moment. For mount -o remount, rw or something like this it uses another function where VFS_RDONLY is checked.
