[PATCH] Fix JBD race in t_forget list handling
Fix race between journal_commit_transaction() and other places as journal_unmap_buffer() that are adding buffers to transaction's t_forget list. We have to protect against such places by holding j_list_lock even when traversing the t_forget list. The fact that other places can only add buffers to the list makes the locking easier. OTOH the lock ranking complicates the stuff... Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
