[Cluster-devel] [GFS2 PATCH] GFS2: Drop inadequate rgrps from the reservation tree

[Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>]

Hi,

This patch fixes a bug in the GFS2 block allocation code. The problem
starts if a process already has a multi-block reservation, but for
some reason, another process disqualifies it from further allocations.
For example, the other process might set on the GFS2_RDF_ERROR bit.
The process holding the reservation jumps to label skip_rgrp, but
that label comes after the code that removes the reservation from the
tree. Therefore, the no longer usable reservation is not removed from
the rgrp's reservations tree; it's lost. Eventually, the lost reservation
causes the count of reserved blocks to get off, and eventually that
causes a BUG_ON(rs->rs_rbm.rgd->rd_reserved < rs->rs_free) to trigger.
This patch moves the call to after label skip_rgrp so that the
disqualified reservation is properly removed from the tree, thus keeping
the rgrp rd_reserved count sane.
