commitc1bb05a657upstream. Processes hang forever on a sync-mounted ext2 file system that is mounted with the ext4 module (default in Fedora 16). I can reproduce this reliably by mounting an ext2 partition with "-o sync" and opening a new file an that partition with vim. vim will hang in "D" state forever. The same happens on ext4 without a journal. I am attaching a small patch here that solves this issue for me. In the sync mounted case without a journal, ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() may call sync_dirty_buffer(), which can't be called with buffer lock held. Also move mb_cache_entry_release inside lock to avoid race fixed previously by8a2bfdcbext[34]: EA block reference count racing fix Note too that ext2 fixed this same problem in 2006 withb2f49033[PATCH] fix deadlock in ext2 Signed-off-by: Martin.Wilck@ts.fujitsu.com [sandeen@redhat.com: move mb_cache_entry_release before unlock, edit commit msg] Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
