If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4cc6a267fb672d31a8bd56e57817cd68d89f1915 Author: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Sep 21 23:32:33 2021 +0300 ext2: fix sleeping in atomic bugs on error [ Upstream commit 372d1f3e1bfede719864d0d1fbf3146b1e638c88 ] The ext2_error() function syncs the filesystem so it sleeps. The caller is holding a spinlock so it's not allowed to sleep. ext2_statfs() <- disables preempt -> ext2_count_free_blocks() -> ext2_get_group_desc() Fix this by using WARN() to print an error message and a stack trace instead of using ext2_error().
