    ext4: Use bforget() in no journal mode for ext4_journal_{forget,revoke}() · c7acb4c1
    Theodore Ts'o 提交于
    When ext4 is using a journal, a metadata block which is deallocated
    must be passed into the journal layer so it can be dropped from the
    current transaction and/or revoked.  This is done by calling the
    functions ext4_journal_forget() and ext4_journal_revoke(), which call
    jbd2_journal_forget(), and jbd2_journal_revoke(), respectively.
    
    Since the jbd2_journal_forget() and jbd2_journal_revoke() call
    bforget(), if ext4 is not using a journal, ext4_journal_forget() and
    ext4_journal_revoke() must call bforget() to avoid a dirty metadata
    block overwriting a block after it has been reallocated and reused for
    another inode's data block.
