[PATCH 3/4] ext4: fix incorrect tid assumption in jbd2_journal_shrink_checkpoint_list()
Posted by Luis Henriques (SUSE) 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Function jbd2_journal_shrink_checkpoint_list() assumes that '0' is not a
valid value for transaction IDs, which is incorrect.  Don't assume that and
use two extra boolean variables to control the loop iterations and keep
track of the first and last tid.

I'd make this:

	if (*nr_to_scan && journal->j_shrink_transaction)
		goto again;

and just remove is_last. Also we might rename is_first to first_set? At
least to me it would be more comprehensible. Thanks!

Sure, both suggestions make sense.  I'll update the patches for v2.
