ext4: fix i_blocks/quota accounting when extent insertion fails
commit 7132de74 upstream. The current implementation of ext4_free_blocks() always calls dquot_free_block This looks quite sensible in the most cases: blocks to be freed are associated with inode and were accounted in quota and i_blocks some time ago. However, there is a case when blocks to free were not accounted by the time calling ext4_free_blocks() yet: 1. delalloc is on, write_begin pre-allocated some space in quota 2. write-back happens, ext4 allocates some blocks in ext4_ext_map_blocks() 3. then ext4_ext_map_blocks() gets an error (e.g. ENOSPC) from ext4_ext_insert_extent() and calls ext4_free_blocks(). In this scenario, ext4_free_blocks() calls dquot_free_block() who, in turn, decrements i_blocks for blocks which were not accounted yet (due to delalloc) After clean umount, e2fsck reports something like: > Inode 21, i_blocks is 5080, should be 5128. Fix<y>? because i_blocks was erroneously decremented as explained above. The patch fixes the problem by passing the new flag EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_NO_QUOT_UPDATE to ext4_free_blocks(), to request that the dquot_free_block() call be skipped.
