From 09e0834fb0ce1ea2a63885177015bd5d7d2bc22d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Akira Fujita Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2011 18:56:10 -0400 Subject: ext4: fix deadlock in ext4_ordered_write_end() If ext4_jbd2_file_inode() in ext4_ordered_write_end() fails for some reasons, this function returns to caller without unlocking the page. It leads to the deadlock, and the patch fixes this issue.
