[51/55] NFS: Fix a hang/infinite loop in nfs_wb_page()

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Mar 25 2011 - 19:56:57 EST


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

------------------

From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit b8413f98f997bb3ed7327e6d7117e7e91ce010c3 upstream.

When one of the two waits in nfs_commit_inode() is interrupted, it
returns a non-negative value, which causes nfs_wb_page() to think
that the operation was successful causing it to busy-loop rather
than exiting.
It also causes nfs_file_fsync() to incorrectly report the file as
being successfully committed to disk.

This patch fixes both problems by ensuring that we return an error
if the attempts to wait fail.
