From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx> In commit efa092f3d4c6 "[XFS] Fixes a bug in the quota code when allocating a new dquot record", we allocate a new dquot block, grab a buffer to initialize it, and return the locked initialized dquot buffer to the caller for further in-core dquot initialization. Unfortunately, if the _bmap_finish errored out, _qm_dqalloc would also error out without bothering to free the (locked) buffer. Leaking a locked buffer caused hangs in generic/388 when quotas are enabled. Furthermore, the _bmap_finish -> _defer_finish conversion in 310a75a3c6c747 ("xfs: change xfs_bmap_{finish,cancel,init,free} -> xfs_defer_*") failed to observe that the buffer was held going into _defer_finish and therefore failed to notice that the buffer lock is /not/ maintained afterwards. Now that we can bjoin a buffer to a defer_ops, use this mechanism to ensure that the buffer stays locked across the _defer_finish. Release the holds and locks on the buffer as appropriate if we have to error out. There is a subtlety here for the caller in that the buffer emerges locked and held to the transaction, so if the _trans_commit fails we have to release the buffer explicitly. This fixes the unmount hang in generic/388 when quotas are enabled. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
