From 2074abfeb8ea2904aeeaecc45e0dfea3f83a22b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:04:49 -0800 Subject: ext2: clear uptodate flag on super block I/O error This fixes a WARN backtrace in mark_buffer_dirty() that occurs during unmount when a USB or floppy device is removed. I reported this a kernel regression, but looks like it might have been there for longer than that. The super block update from a previous operation has marked the buffer as in error, and the flag has to be cleared before doing the update. (Similar code already exists in ext4).
