From e8ef7aaea79a899be4d7f50e829900c0ce15e52f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 16:26:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ext3: fix chain verification in ext3_get_blocks() Chain verification in ext3_get_blocks() has been hosed since it called verify_chain(chain, NULL) which always returns success. As a result readers could in theory race with truncate. On the other hand the race probably cannot happen with the current locking scheme, since by the time ext3_truncate() is called all the pages are already removed and hence get_block() shouldn't be called on such pages...
