From ffda9d302267dbb7fc9bc38f6e4c1b3d61a536a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2007 13:57:54 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fs: fix __block_write_full_page error case buffer submission Andrew noticed that unlocking the page before submitting all buffers for writeout could cause problems if the IO completes before we've finished messing around with the page buffers, and they subsequently get freed. Even if there were no bug, it is a good idea to bring the error case into line with the common case here.
