[PATCH 0/3] Compression fixes for ntfs3

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Konstantin,

I found three problems with the NTFS (de)compression code.  The
first two are simple inefficiencies; there's no need to kmap these
pages.  The third looks like a potential data corruption (description
in the patch).  I've marked the third one for backport.

I haven't tested any of this; it could be that my analysis is wrong.

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (3):
  ntfs: Do not kmap pages used for reading from disk
  ntfs: Do not kmap page cache pages for compression
  ntfs: Do not overwrite uptodate pages
