If ENOMEM fails when the extent is splitting, we need to restore the length of the split extent. In the call stack of the ext4_split_extent_at function, only in ext4_ext_create_new_leaf will it alloc memory and change the shape of the extent tree,even if an ENOMEM is returned at this time, the extent tree is still self-consistent, Just restore the split extent lens in the function ext4_split_extent_at. ext4_split_extent_at ext4_ext_insert_extent ext4_ext_create_new_leaf 1)ext4_ext_split ext4_find_extent 2)ext4_ext_grow_indepth ext4_find_extent Signed-off-by: zhanchengbin <zhanchengbin1@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> --- fs/ext4/extents.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/ext4/extents.c b/fs/ext4/extents.c index 9de1c9d1a13d..3559ea6b0781 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/extents.c +++ b/fs/ext4/extents.c @@ -3251,7 +3251,7 @@ static int ext4_split_extent_at(handle_t *handle, ext4_ext_mark_unwritten(ex2); err = ext4_ext_insert_extent(handle, inode, ppath, &newex, flags); - if (err != -ENOSPC && err != -EDQUOT) + if (err != -ENOSPC && err != -EDQUOT && err != -ENOMEM) goto out; if (EXT4_EXT_MAY_ZEROOUT & split_flag) { -- 2.31.1
