[05/90] ext4: fix journal ref count in move_extent_par_page

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Dec 10 2009 - 23:55:35 EST


2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
(cherry picked from commit 91cc219ad963731191247c5f2db4118be2bc341a)

move_extent_par_page calls a_ops->write_begin() to increase journal
handler's reference count. However, if either mext_replace_branches()
or ext4_get_block fails, the increased reference count isn't
decreased. This will cause a later attempt to umount of the fs to hang
forever. The patch addresses the issue by calling ext4_journal_stop()
if page is not NULL (which means a_ops->write_end() isn't invoked).
