From 9d123a35d7e97bb2139747b16127c9b22b6a593e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Filipe Manana Date: Thu, 4 Jul 2019 16:24:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: fix inode cache waiters hanging on path allocation failure If the caching thread fails to allocate a path, it returns without waking up any cache waiters, leaving them hang forever. Fix this by following the same approach as when we fail to start the caching thread: print an error message, disable inode caching and make the wakers fallback to non-caching mode behaviour (calling btrfs_find_free_objectid()).
