From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2011 12:34:05 +0000 (+0200) Subject: xfs: PF_FSTRANS should never be set in ->writepage X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=680a647b49fa52de0b37b8bc58a3a8c4bc76b262;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git xfs: PF_FSTRANS should never be set in ->writepage Now that we reject direct reclaim in addition to always using GFP_NOFS allocation there's no chance we'll ever end up in ->writepage with PF_FSTRANS set. Add a WARN_ON if we hit this case, and stop checking if we'd actually need to start a transaction.
