From c84e4b475904075d895db8d4dccbf79a1a55fc8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: bde Date: Sun, 21 Jun 1998 21:06:04 +0000 Subject: Fixed (?) races in mark_buffer_dirty(). We abuse the buffer cache by hacking on locked buffers without getblk()ing them, and we didn't even use splbio() to prevent biodone() changing the buffer underneath use when a write completes. I think there was no problem in practice on i386's because the operations on b_flags and numdirtybufs happen to be atomic. We still depend on biodone()'s operations on b_flags not interfering with ours. I think there is only interference for B_ERROR, and this is harmless because errors for async writes are ignored anyway. Don't use mark_buffer_dirty() except for superblock-related metadata. It was used in just one case where ordinary BSD buffering is more natural. --- sys/gnu/fs/ext2fs/ext2_linux_ialloc.c | 9 ++++++--- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'sys/gnu/fs/ext2fs/ext2_linux_ialloc.c') diff --git a/sys/gnu/fs/ext2fs/ext2_linux_ialloc.c b/sys/gnu/fs/ext2fs/ext2_linux_ialloc.c index d7f5bec..ee4c418 100644 --- a/sys/gnu/fs/ext2fs/ext2_linux_ialloc.c +++ b/sys/gnu/fs/ext2fs/ext2_linux_ialloc.c @@ -53,11 +53,15 @@ */ void mark_buffer_dirty(struct buf *bh) { + int s; + + s = splbio(); if (!(bh->b_flags & B_DELWRI)) { numdirtybuffers++; bh->b_flags |= B_DELWRI; + bh->b_flags &= ~(B_READ | B_ERROR); } - bh->b_flags &= ~(B_READ | B_ERROR); + splx(s); } struct ext2_group_desc * get_group_desc (struct mount * mp, @@ -274,8 +278,7 @@ static void inc_inode_version (struct inode * inode, EXT2_INODES_PER_BLOCK(inode->i_sb)); raw_inode->i_version++; inode->u.ext2_i.i_version = raw_inode->i_version; - mark_buffer_dirty(bh); - brelse (bh); + bdwrite (bh); } #endif /* linux */ -- cgit v1.1
