Subject: ext4: Avoid leaking blocks after a block allocation failure
X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~27979^2~4
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1938a150c25bf7c2c47182e753a1038945b70b0e;p=GitHub%2FMotorolaMobilityLLC%2Fkernel-slsi.git

ext4: Avoid leaking blocks after a block allocation failure

We should add inode to the orphan list in the same transaction
as block allocation.  This ensures that if we crash after a failed
block allocation and before we do a vmtruncate we don't leak block
(ie block marked as used in bitmap but not claimed by the inode).
