From 00ea81459c279f14a7b344320a71c94f60f88929 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2005 14:02:00 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ext3: fix log_do_checkpoint() assertion failure Fix possible false assertion failure in log_do_checkpoint(). We might fail to detect that we actually made a progress when cleaning up the checkpoint lists if we don't retry after writing something to disk. The patch was confirmed to fix observed assertion failures for several users. When we flushed some buffers we need to retry scanning the list. Otherwise we can fail to detect our progress.
