Here's my -V3 respin of this patch, which further cleans up the code and removes some duplicated code by only calling ext4_clear_bit() from one call site. I think I'm about done for this, so if you agree with my improvements as improvements, it might be useful to port this back to ext3 version of this patch. - Ted ext4: clean up inode bitmaps manipulation in ext4_free_inode From: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@xxxxxxxxxx> - Reorganize locking scheme to batch two atomic operation in to one. This also allow us to state what healthy group must obey following rule ext4_free_inodes_count(sb, gdp) == ext4_count_free(inode_bitmap, NUM); - Fix possible undefined pointer dereference. - Even if group descriptor stats aren't accessible we have to update inode bitmaps. - Move non-group members update out of group_lock.
