eb->io_pages is set in read_extent_buffer_pages(). In case of readpage failure, for pages that have been added to bio, it calls bio_endio and later readpage_io_failed_hook() does the work. When this eb's page (couldn't be the 1st page) fails to add itself to bio due to failure in merge_bio(), it cannot decrease eb->io_pages via bio_endio, and ends up with a memory leak eventually. This lets __do_readpage propagate errors to callers and adds the 'atomic_dec(&eb->io_pages)'.
Thanks for looking at this Liu, how is it currently being tested? -chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
