3.2.64-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> commit c99d1e6e83b06744c75d9f5e491ed495a7086b7b upstream. If we suffer a block allocation failure (for example due to a memory allocation failure), it's possible that we will call ext4_discard_allocated_blocks() before we've actually allocated any blocks. In that case, fe_len and fe_start in ac->ac_f_ex will still be zero, and this will result in mb_free_blocks(inode, e4b, 0, 0) triggering the BUG_ON on mb_free_blocks(): BUG_ON(last >= (sb->s_blocksize << 3)); Fix this by bailing out of ext4_discard_allocated_blocks() if fs_len is zero. Also fix a missing ext4_mb_unload_buddy() call in ext4_discard_allocated_blocks().
