When removing an extent map at try_release_extent_mapping(), called through the page release callback (btrfs_releasepage()), we never release an extent map that is in the list of modified extents. This is to prevent races with a concurrent fsync using the fast path, which could lead to not logging an extent created in the current transaction. However we can safely remove an extent map created in a past transaction that is still in the list of modified extents (because no one fsynced yet the inode after that transaction got commited), because such extents are skipped during an fsync as it is pointless to log them. This change does that. Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
