From 02f1637ba4181e272430a03e976f55f06f0bda40 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Whitney Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2022 12:05:30 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix extent status tree race in writeback error recovery path commit 7f0d8e1d607c1a4fa9a27362a108921d82230874 upstream. A race can occur in the unlikely event ext4 is unable to allocate a physical cluster for a delayed allocation in a bigalloc file system during writeback. Failure to allocate a cluster forces error recovery that includes a call to mpage_release_unused_pages(). That function removes any corresponding delayed allocated blocks from the extent status tree. If a new delayed write is in progress on the same cluster simultaneously, resulting in the addition of an new extent containing one or more blocks in that cluster to the extent status tree, delayed block accounting can be thrown off if that delayed write then encounters a similar cluster allocation failure during future writeback. Write lock the i_data_sem in mpage_release_unused_pages() to fix this problem. Ext4's block/cluster accounting code for bigalloc relies on i_data_sem for mutual exclusion, as is found in the delayed write path, and the locking in mpage_release_unused_pages() is missing.
