From 86f0afd463215fc3e58020493482faa4ac3a4d69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2014 22:17:17 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix ext4_discard_allocated_blocks() if we can't allocate the pa struct If there is a failure while allocating the preallocation structure, a number of blocks can end up getting marked in the in-memory buddy bitmap, and then not getting released. This can result in the following corruption getting reported by the kernel: EXT4-fs error (device sda3): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:758: group 1126, 12793 clusters in bitmap, 12729 in gd In that case, we need to release the blocks using mb_free_blocks(). Tested: fs smoke test; also demonstrated that with injected errors, the file system is no longer getting corrupted Google-Bug-Id: 16657874 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org --- fs/ext4/mballoc.c | 21 ++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/ext4/mballoc.c b/fs/ext4/mballoc.c index 0e9466f9e767..956027711faf 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/mballoc.c +++ b/fs/ext4/mballoc.c @@ -3217,8 +3217,27 @@ static void ext4_mb_collect_stats(struct ext4_allocation_context *ac) static void ext4_discard_allocated_blocks(struct ext4_allocation_context *ac) { struct ext4_prealloc_space *pa = ac->ac_pa; + struct ext4_buddy e4b; + int err; - if (pa && pa->pa_type == MB_INODE_PA) + if (pa == NULL) { + err = ext4_mb_load_buddy(ac->ac_sb, ac->ac_f_ex.fe_group, &e4b); + if (err) { + /* + * This should never happen since we pin the + * pages in the ext4_allocation_context so + * ext4_mb_load_buddy() should never fail. + */ + WARN(1, "mb_load_buddy failed (%d)", err); + return; + } + ext4_lock_group(ac->ac_sb, ac->ac_f_ex.fe_group); + mb_free_blocks(ac->ac_inode, &e4b, ac->ac_f_ex.fe_start, + ac->ac_f_ex.fe_len); + ext4_unlock_group(ac->ac_sb, ac->ac_f_ex.fe_group); + return; + } + if (pa->pa_type == MB_INODE_PA) pa->pa_free += ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len; } -- 2.20.1
