This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ext4: only update i_reserved_data_blocks on successful block allocation to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ext4-only-update-i_reserved_data_blocks-on-successful-block-allocation.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From de25d6e9610a8b30cce9bbb19b50615d02ebca02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2023 11:38:35 +0800 Subject: ext4: only update i_reserved_data_blocks on successful block allocation From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@xxxxxxxxxx> commit de25d6e9610a8b30cce9bbb19b50615d02ebca02 upstream. In our fault injection test, we create an ext4 file, migrate it to non-extent based file, then punch a hole and finally trigger a WARN_ON in the ext4_da_update_reserve_space(): EXT4-fs warning (device sda): ext4_da_update_reserve_space:369: ino 14, used 11 with only 10 reserved data blocks When writing back a non-extent based file, if we enable delalloc, the number of reserved blocks will be subtracted from the number of blocks mapped by ext4_ind_map_blocks(), and the extent status tree will be updated. We update the extent status tree by first removing the old extent_status and then inserting the new extent_status. If the block range we remove happens to be in an extent, then we need to allocate another extent_status with ext4_es_alloc_extent(). use old to remove to add new |----------|------------|------------| old extent_status The problem is that the allocation of a new extent_status failed due to a fault injection, and __es_shrink() did not get free memory, resulting in a return of -ENOMEM. Then do_writepages() retries after receiving -ENOMEM, we map to the same extent again, and the number of reserved blocks is again subtracted from the number of blocks in that extent. Since the blocks in the same extent are subtracted twice, we end up triggering WARN_ON at ext4_da_update_reserve_space() because used > ei->i_reserved_data_blocks. For non-extent based file, we update the number of reserved blocks after ext4_ind_map_blocks() is executed, which causes a problem that when we call ext4_ind_map_blocks() to create a block, it doesn't always create a block, but we always reduce the number of reserved blocks. So we move the logic for updating reserved blocks to ext4_ind_map_blocks() to ensure that the number of reserved blocks is updated only after we do succeed in allocating some new blocks.
