This explains there should not be any problem in _the
mainline_. AFAICT this talks about this code. Mainline version is:
prev_eb = eb;
ret = lock_extent_buffer_for_io(eb, &epd);
if (!ret) {
free_extent_buffer(eb);
continue;
} else if (ret < 0) {
done = 1;
free_extent_buffer(eb);
break;
}
But 4.19 has:
ret = lock_extent_buffer_for_io(eb, fs_info, &epd);
if (!ret) {
free_extent_buffer(eb);
continue;
}
That was changed in mainline two releases after this commit, though.
IOW missing the code mentioned in the changelog. Is 0607eb1d452d4
prerequisite for this patch?
I think it's a separate fix, but probably worth picking too.
