Since the group may be unlocked in ext4_grp_locked_error(), this can lead to problems such as dividing by zero when calculating the average fragment length. Therefore, to ensure consistency, move the update of bb_free to after the block double-free check.

We will not try to allocate (or free) blocks in that group anymore. I'm just a bit unsure about the EXT4_FC_REPLAY state where we don't mark the bitmap as corrupted although some blocks were already marked as freed. So in this case the free space statistics tracking will go permanently wrong. I'm kind of wondering in which case does fast-commit free already freed blocks. Ted, any idea? Honza
Hello Harshad!
Seeing that earlier you added EXT4_FC_REPLAY related judgment to
mb_free_blocks() in commit 8016e29f4362 ("ext4: fast commit recovery path"),
when there is EXT4_FC_REPLAY, even when freeing blocks that have already
been freed, the block bitmap is not marked as corrupted, is there a known
scenario here?
I would be grateful if you could shed some light on this!
Thanks,
Baokun
