[PATCH 1/2] exofs: Fix double page_unlock BUG in write_begin/end

From: Boaz Harrosh
Date: Fri Oct 08 2010 - 09:54:04 EST



This BUG is there since the first submit of the code, but only triggered
in last Kernel. It's timing related do to the asynchronous object-creation
behaviour of exofs. (Which should be investigated farther)

The bug is obvious hence the fixed.
