[PATCH 3.2 15/27] ext4: make orphan functions be no-op in no-journal mode

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Dec 28 2014 - 20:18:06 EST


3.2.66-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Anatol Pomozov <anatol.pomozov@xxxxxxxxx>

commit c9b92530a723ac5ef8e352885a1862b18f31b2f5 upstream.

Instead of checking whether the handle is valid, we check if journal
is enabled. This avoids taking the s_orphan_lock mutex in all cases
when there is no journal in use, including the error paths where
ext4_orphan_del() is called with a handle set to NULL.

[bwh: Adjust context to apply after commit 0e9a9a1ad619
('ext4: avoid hang when mounting non-journal filesystems with orphan list')
and commit e2bfb088fac0
('ext4: don't orphan or truncate the boot loader inode')]
