Subject: [ 24/46] ext4: dont call ext4_error while block group is locked
From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>
3.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu>
commit 7a4c5de27efa4c2ecca87af0a3deea63446367e2 upstream.
While in ext4_validate_block_bitmap(), if an block allocation bitmap
is found to be invalid, we call ext4_error() while the block group is
still locked. This causes ext4_commit_super() to call a function
which might sleep while in an atomic context.
There's no need to keep the block group locked at this point, so hoist
the ext4_error() call up to ext4_validate_block_bitmap() and release
the block group spinlock before calling ext4_error().
The reported stack trace can be found at:
