When per-CPU superblock counters are enabled (i.e. SMP=y), we don't update the in-core superblock's sb_icount value prior to checking if we're already at maximum inodes. Therefore, it's possible for a tight file creation loop (e.g. "for i in {0..100000}; do touch /mnt/$i; done") to allocate far more inodes than the administrator specified at mkfs time. Fix this by synchronizing the counters every time we think we need to allocate another chunk of inodes. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
