Subject: ext4: fix the deadlock in mpage_da_map_and_submit()
X-Git-Tag: v3.2-rc1~85^2~40
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8de49e674a1133ab8998914a6e933ceb4b5f4b07;p=profile%2Fivi%2Fkernel-x86-ivi.git

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().
