      Re-introduce page mapping check in mark_buffer_dirty() · 8e9d78ed
      Linus Torvalds authored
      In commit a8e7d49a ("Fix race in
      create_empty_buffers() vs __set_page_dirty_buffers()"), I removed a test
      for a NULL page mapping unintentionally when some of the code inside
      __set_page_dirty() was moved to the callers.
      
      That removal generally didn't matter, since a filesystem would serialize
      truncation (which clears the page mapping) against writing (which marks
      the buffer dirty), so locking at a higher level (either per-page or an
      inode at a time) should mean that the buffer page would be stable.  And
      indeed, nothing bad seemed to happen.
      
      Except it turns out that apparently reiserfs does something odd when
      under load and writing out the journal, and we have a number of bugzilla
      entries that look similar:
      
      	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13556
      	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13756
      	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13876
      
      and it looks like reiserfs depended on that check (the common theme
      seems to be "data=journal", and a journal writeback during a truncate).
      
      I suspect reiserfs should have some additional locking, but in the
      meantime this should get us back to the pre-2.6.29 behavior.
