From de7d5a3b6c9ff8429bf046c36b56d3192b75c3da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "akpm@osdl.org" <akpm@osdl.org> Date: Sun, 1 May 2005 08:58:39 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] drop_buffers() oops fix In rare situations, drop_buffers() can be called for a page which has buffers, but no ->mapping (it was truncated, but the buffers were left behind because ext3 was still fiddling with them). But if there was an I/O error in a buffer_head, drop_buffers() will try to get at the address_space and will oops.
