Btrfs: fix copy_items() return value when logging an inode
PATCH 2/2 Btrfs: fix copy_items() return value when logging an inode
From: Filipe Manana <[email protected]>
When logging an inode, at tree-log.c:copy_items(), if we call btrfs_next_leaf() at the loop which checks for the need to log holes, we need to make sure copy_items() returns the value 1 to its caller and not 0 (on success). This is because the path the caller passed was released and is now different from what is was before, and the caller expects a return value of 0 to mean both success and that the path has not changed, while a return value of 1 means both success and signals the caller that it can not reuse the path, it has to perform another tree search.
Even though this is a case that should not be triggered on normal circumstances or very rare at least, its consequences can be very unpredictable (especially when replaying a log tree).
