[PATCH 1/2] btrfs: Explicitly handle btrfs_update_root failure

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

 



btrfs_udpate_root can fail and it aborts the transaction, the correct way to
handle an aborted transaction is to explicitly end with btrfs_end_transaction.
Even now the code is correct since btrfs_commit_transaction would handle an
aborted transaction but this is more of an implementation detail. So let's be
explicit in handling failure in btrfs_update_root.

Furthermore btrfs_commit_transaction can also fail and by ignoring it's return
value we could have left the in-memory copy of the root item in an inconsistent
state. So capture the error value which allows us to correctly revert the RO/RW
flags in case of commit failure.
