         struct ext4_extent_header *eh;

Normally, we protect extent tree with i_data_sem, and once we really
need drop i_data_sem, we should reload the ext4_ext_path array after we
recatch i_data_sem since extent tree may has changed, the 'again' in
ext4_ext_remove_space give us a sample. But the other case
ext4_ext_shift_path_extents seems forget to do this(ext4_access_path may
drop i_data_sem and recatch it with not enough credits), and will lead
the upper BUG when there is a parallel extents split which will grow the
extent tree.

Normally, the extent tree is protected by i_data_sem and if we drop
i_data_sem in ext4_datasem_ensure_credits(), we need to reload
ext4_ext_path array after reacquiring i_data_sem since the extent tree may
have changed. The 'again' label in ext4_ext_remove_space() is an example of
this. But ext4_ext_shift_path_extents() forgets to reload ext4_ext_path and
thus can cause the above mentioned BUG when there is a parallel extents
split which will grow the extent tree.


Fix it by introduce the again in ext4_ext_shift_extents.

Hum, I'd note that the previous patch actually broke
ext4_ext_shift_path_extents() which could return 1 after patch 2/3 and
probably confuse code upwards in the stack and now you fix it up in this
patch. Can you perhaps fixup the previous patch by changing the condition
to:
	if (err < 0)

and then change it here?

Thanks for your review! Ted has fix this by add some comments in patch 2/3!

Can you perhaps name this more descriptively than 'tmp'? Something like
restart_lblk or something like that?

Agree. I'll pay attention next time!

Hum, but while we dropped i_data_sem, the extent depth may have increased
so we may need larger 'path' now?

Otherwise the patch looks good.

The ext4_find_extent in ext4_ext_shift_extents can handle this case. It seems OK.
