From 24c7387333c77b602ece7ecd6a85fc94f8f16d8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Peterson Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2007 16:58:50 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] [GFS2] soft lockup in rgblk_search This patch seems to fix the problem described in bugzilla bug 246114. It was written by Steve Whitehouse with some tweaking by me. The code was looping in the relatively new section of code designed to search for and reuse unlinked inodes. In cases where it was finding an appropriate inode to reuse, it was looping around and finding the same block over and over because a "<=" check should have been a "<" when comparing the goal block to the last unlinked block found.
