PATCH 1/1 ext4: Do not dec quota for reserved blocks on error paths

If we have failed some where inside ext4_get_blocks() internals we may have allocated some new blocks, which was not yet claimed to quota. We have to free such blocks, but without touching quota. Quota will be updated later on exit from ext4_get_blocks().
There are two possible ways to understand what we have to skip quota update:
1) Caller pass corresponding flag to ext4_free_blocks()
2) check that free_blocks() was indirectly called by get_blocks() (i.e EXT4_I(inode)->i_delalloc_reserved_flag is set)
Second is simpler, but may result in unpredictable consequences later. So i've chosen the first one, because caller must know which blocks it is freeing.

The bug happens on heavily loaded node, or with 227'th xfstestcase and result in incorrect i_blocks (less than expected). So truncation for that file result in i_blocks overflow.
Seems this was the last bug which was easily triggered by 227'th testcase.

Test hosts survived for 24hrs without complain. Tested configuration:
* ext3 over ext4driver with -odelalloc mount option
* ext4 with default mount opt

Hm... my test failed one more time, seems that single NOQUOTA flag is not enough. Because if metadata block was allocated it was charged to ei->i_allocated_meta_blocks so this counter must being decremented accordingly.

ext4: Do not dec quota for reserved blocks on error paths v2

In reply to Dmitry Monakhov

If we have failed some where inside ext4_get_blocks() internals we may have allocated some new blocks, which was not yet claimed to quota. We have to free such blocks, but without touching quota. Quota will be updated later on exit from ext4_get_blocks().
There are two possible ways to understand what we have to skip quota update:
1) Caller pass corresponding flag to ext4_free_blocks()
2) check that free_blocks() was indirectly called by get_blocks() (i.e EXT4_I(inode)->i_delalloc_reserved_flag is set)
Second is simpler, but may result in unpredictable consequences later. So i've chosen the first one, because caller must know which blocks it is freeing.

Eric, please take your attention to metadata blocks handling when you will work on new versing of "ext4: don't use quota reservation for speculative metadata blocks" patch.

The bug happens on heavily loaded node, or with 227'th xfstestcase and result in incorrect i_blocks (less than expected). So truncation for that file result in i_blocks overflow.
Seems this was the last bug which was easily triggered by 227'th testcase.

The bug hapens on heavily loaded node.

Charges from v1:
- Dectement i_allocated_meta_blocks for metadata blocks.
- Add some sanity checks.

Re: ext4: Do not dec quota for reserved blocks on error paths v2

Quoted 12 lines · Dmitry Monakhov

If we have failed some where inside ext4_get_blocks() internals we may have allocated some new blocks, which was not yet claimed to quota. We have to free such blocks, but without touching quota. Quota will be updated later on exit from ext4_get_blocks().
There are two possible ways to understand what we have to skip quota update:
1) Caller pass corresponding flag to ext4_free_blocks()
2) check that free_blocks() was indirectly called by get_blocks() (i.e EXT4_I(inode)->i_delalloc_reserved_flag is set)
Second is simpler, but may result in unpredictable consequences later. So i've chosen the first one, because caller must know which blocks it is freeing.

Eric, please take your attention to metadata blocks handling when you will work on new versing of "ext4: don't use quota reservation for speculative metadata blocks" patch.

The bug happens on heavily loaded node, or with 227'th xfstestcase and

hm which test? 227 is xfs-only...

result in incorrect i_blocks (less than expected). So truncation for that file result in i_blocks overflow.
Seems this was the last bug which was easily triggered by 227'th testcase.

Oh.. it has that number at the time i've posted it, and it wasn't merged yet.

You have already requested some cleanups, so i'll post new version, under new number, soon.

Eric, please take your attention to metadata blocks handling when you will work on new versing of "ext4: don't use quota reservation for speculative metadata blocks" patch.

This patch needs to be carefully changed after Eric's patch has gone in (which I've already applied into the patch queue). As a result I'm going to hold off applying your patch until either (a) someone (probably you or I) has a chance to fix it up in light of Eric's changes.

I'm not sure I'll get to it before I need to push patches to Linus, though, so it might miss the merge window. If we can make this a simple and easy to vet bugfix, I might be able to push it through as a supplementary bug fix push.
