Call trace to assign ac_f_ex: ext4_mb_use_best_found ac->ac_f_ex = ac->ac_b_ex; ext4_mb_new_preallocation ext4_mb_new_group_pa ac->ac_f_ex = ac->ac_b_ex; ext4_mb_new_inode_pa ac->ac_f_ex = ac->ac_b_ex; Actually allocated blocks is already stored in ac_f_ex in ext4_mb_use_best_found, so there is no need to assign ac_f_ex in ext4_mb_new_group_pa and ext4_mb_new_inode_pa. Just remove repeat assignment to ac_f_ex in ext4_mb_new_group_pa and ext4_mb_new_inode_pa.
