[2.6.22.2 review 33/84] splice: fix double page unlock

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

 



From: Jens Axboe <[email protected]>

If add_to_page_cache_lru() fails, the page will not be locked. But
splice jumps to an error path that does a page release and unlock,
causing a BUG() in unlock_page().

Fix this by adding one more label that just releases the page. This bug
was actually triggered on EL5 by gurudas pai <[email protected]>
using fio.
