Hi Ted, > Yongqiang Yang (1): > ext4: correct comments for ext4_free_blocks() Any ideas why the patch fixing accounting of i_blocks in ext4_free_blocks() didn't come to this set of changes? The problem was that ext4_free_blocks() calls dquot_free_block() that, in turn, calls inode_sub_bytes() decrementing i_blocks. This works fine in most cases but the one: ext4_ext_map_blocks() might call ext4_free_blocks (if ext4_ext_insert_extent failed) when allocated blocks were only reserved, i.e. not accounted in i_blocks yet. I recently re-run a simple test reproducing the problem and found out that Linus' 3.0.0-rc6 is still affected by this problem. Does it make sense to resend that patch to you?
