From 688f869ce3bdc892daa993534dc6df18c95df931 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2011 17:16:31 -0400 Subject: ext4: Initialize fsync transaction ids in ext4_new_inode() When allocating a new inode, we need to make sure i_sync_tid and i_datasync_tid are initialized. Otherwise, one or both of these two values could be left initialized to zero, which could potentially result in BUG_ON in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction. (This could happen by having journal->commit_request getting set to zero, which could wake up the kjournald process even though there is no running transaction, which then causes a BUG_ON via the J_ASSERT(j_ruinning_transaction != NULL) statement.
