From 398b1ac5a57219823f942a8d3665b27ab99354de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaegeuk Kim Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:28:39 +0900 Subject: f2fs: fix handling errors got by f2fs_write_inode Ruslan reported that f2fs hangs with an infinite loop in f2fs_sync_file(): while (sync_node_pages(sbi, inode->i_ino, &wbc) == 0) f2fs_write_inode(inode, NULL); The reason was revealed that the cold flag is not set even thought this inode is a normal file. Therefore, sync_node_pages() skips to write node blocks since it only writes cold node blocks. The cold flag is stored to the node_footer in node block, and whenever a new node page is allocated, it is set according to its file type, file or directory. But, after sudden-power-off, when recovering the inode page, f2fs doesn't recover its cold flag. So, let's assign the cold flag in more right places. One more thing: If f2fs_write_inode() returns an error due to whatever situations, there would be no dirty node pages so that sync_node_pages() returns zero. (i.e., zero means nothing was written.)
