ext4: Remove bogus BUG() check in ext4_bmap()
The code to support journal-less ext4 operation added a BUG to ext4_bmap() which fired if there was no journal and the EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit was set in the i_state field. This caused running the filefrag program (which uses the FIMBAP ioctl) to trigger a BUG(). The EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit is only used for ext4_bmap(), and it's harmless for the bit to be set. We could add a check in __ext4_journalled_writepage() and ext4_journalled_write_end() to only set the EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit if the journal is present, but that adds an extra test and jump instruction. It's easier to simply remove the BUG check. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12568 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@kernel.org
