From 8de49e674a1133ab8998914a6e933ceb4b5f4b07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kazuya Mio Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2011 19:23:08 -0400 Subject: ext4: fix the deadlock in mpage_da_map_and_submit() If ext4_jbd2_file_inode() in mpage_da_map_and_submit() fails due to journal abort, this function returns to caller without unlocking the page. It leads to the deadlock, and the patch fixes this issue by calling mpage_da_submit_io().
