[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 16/16] ocfs2: Fix ocfs2_page_mkwrite()

Sunil Mushran sunil.mushran at oracle.com
Thu Jul 14 15:50:27 PDT 2011


From: Wengang Wang <wen.gang.wang at oracle.com>

This patch address two shortcomings in ocfs2_page_mkwrite():
1. Makes the function return better VM_FAULT_* errors.
2. It handles a error that is triggered when a page is dropped from the mapping
due to memory pressure. This patch locks the page to prevent that.

[Patch was cleaned up by Sunil Mushran.]
