Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 1/2] ext4: fast_commit: assert i_data_sem only before sleep
Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2025 23:19:05 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251222151906.24607-2-me@linux.beauty> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251222151906.24607-1-me@linux.beauty>

ext4_fc_track_inode() can return without sleeping when
EXT4_STATE_FC_COMMITTING is already clear. The lockdep assertion for
ei->i_data_sem was done unconditionally before the wait loop, which can
WARN in call paths that hold i_data_sem even though we never block. Move
lockdep_assert_not_held(&ei->i_data_sem) into the actual sleep path,
right before schedule().
