Subject: [PATCH] ext4: ext4_free_blocks() fix
Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2011 14:07:54 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1307700474-25743-1-git-send-email-maxim.patlasov@gmail.com> (raw)

Existent implementation of ext4_free_blocks() always calls vfs_dq_free_block
This looks quite sensible in the most cases: blocks to be freed are associated
with inode and were accounted in quota and i_blocks some time ago.

However, there is a case when blocks to free were not accounted by the time
calling ext4_free_blocks() yet:

1. delalloc is on, write_begin pre-allocated some space in quota
2. write-back happens, ext4 allocates some blocks in ext4_ext_get_blocks()
3. then ext4_ext_get_blocks() gets an error (e.g.  ENOSPC) from
   ext4_ext_insert_extent() and calls ext4_free_blocks().

In this scenario, ext4_free_blocks() calls vfs_dq_free_block() who, in turn,
decrements i_blocks for blocks which were not accounted yet (due to delalloc)
After clean umount, e2fsck reports something like:

> Inode 21, i_blocks is 5080, should be 5128.  Fix<y>?
because i_blocks was erroneously decremented as explained above.

The patch fixes the problem by passing EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_SKIP_QUPD flag to
ext4_free_blocks(). This flag forces ext4_free_blocks() to skip
vfs_dq_free_block() call.
