So when + we try to empty the journal $LogFile contents by calling + ntfs_attr_set() when the machine does not have much memory and the + journal is large ntfs_attr_set() results in the VM trying to balance + dirty pages which in turn tries to that the s_umount lock and thus we + get a deadlock. The solution is to not use ntfs_attr_set() and + instead do the zeroing by hand at the block level rather than page + cache level. + - Fix sparse warnings. + 2.1.28 - Fix a deadlock. - Fix deadlock in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_put_inode().
