We are hitting the following warning in the field pretty frequently

[11708.763067] WARNING: at fs/ext4/inode.c:363
ext4_da_update_reserve_space+0x261/0x280 [ext4]()
The issue was resolved via "ext4: fix warning in
ext4_da_update_reserve_space()" (7d7345322d60ed), but the fix was
not submitted as a stable update for 3.10. I was wondering if
there's a reason why this was not done, or if it was just
overlooked?
The patch appears to have a dependency on "quota: provide interface
for readding allocated space into reserved space" (1c8924eb106c1ac),
so I think both would need to be submitted if you feel it's
possible.
Since the problem is relatively harmless, I think we didn't bother
porting it to 3.10. Feel free to port those two patches to 3.10 and submit
them to stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Thanks for the reply Jan.
I've ported them locally to 3.10 and they seem to apply cleanly as-is. I
can submit the request to stable as long as you believe there's no harm
in doing so, or any other dependency which may be required. My testing
of a patched 3.10 with the two above patches shows the warning no longer
triggers as you report in your commit log.
Thanks
Josh
