From: Chao Yu <redacted> register_shrinker in mb_cache_create may fail due to no memory. This patch fixes to do the check of return value of register_shrinker and handle the error case, otherwise mb_cache_create may return with no error, but losing the inner shrinker. Signed-off-by: Chao Yu <redacted> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>Applied, thanks. (Apologies for the delay; this patch slipped through the cracks.)Ping, didn't see it in mainline, is this patch still under testing now?
I'm sorry, I'm not sure how it got dropped, but it's not in mainline and I'm not sure how it got dropped from the ext4 tree. It's now queued up in the dev tree. Thanks for checking back, - Ted
