There's another strange one I hit at mount time last week but forgot to include. It could be noise from earlier debugging runs of the patch that left readonly pages setting around, but I think if I squint really it makes sense. During mounts and remounts, ext4 will mess around with the flags on the journal super. I don't see exactly where the buffer is logged or prepared...most of the callers of jbd2_journal_clear_features look like they need a bigger audit to me. Does anyone know the perf cost of forcing the page ro/rw? I'm looking at integrating it into a CONFIG_DEBUG_CSUMS for btrfs. For any individual page it shouldn't happen too often, but we'd be hammering on it pretty good during a commit. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
