From ece413f59f257682de4a2e2e42af33b016af53f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 21:39:11 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: remove incorrect assert in xfs_vm_writepage In commit 20cb52ebd1b5ca6fa8a5d9b6b1392292f5ca8a45, titled "xfs: simplify xfs_vm_writepage" I added an assert that any !mapped and uptodate buffers are not dirty. That asserts turns out to trigger a lot when running fsx on filesystems with small block sizes. The reason for that is that the assert is simply incorrect. !mapped and uptodate just mean this buffer covers a hole, and whenever we do a set_page_dirty we mark all blocks in the page dirty, no matter if they have data or not. So remove the assert, and update the comment above the condition to match reality.
