If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jan Kara commit acd6ad83517639e8f09a8c5525b1dccd81cd2a10 upstream. When insert_inode_locked() fails in ext4_new_inode() it most likely means inode bitmap got corrupted and we allocated again inode which is already in use. Also doing unlock_new_inode() during error recovery is wrong since the inode does not have I_NEW set. Fix the problem by jumping to fail: (instead of fail_drop:) which declares filesystem error and does not call unlock_new_inode().
