Subject: [PATCH 5.9 551/757] ext4: discard preallocations before releasing group lock

From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

[ Upstream commit 5b3dc19dda6691e8ab574e8eede1aef6f02a4f1c ]

ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations() can be releasing group lock with
preallocations accumulated on its local list. Thus although
discard_pa_seq was incremented and concurrent allocating processes will
be retrying allocations, it can happen that premature ENOSPC error is
returned because blocks used for preallocations are not available for
reuse yet. Make sure we always free locally accumulated preallocations
before releasing group lock.

Fixes: 07b5b8e1ac40 ("ext4: mballoc: introduce pcpu seqcnt for freeing PA to improve ENOSPC handling")
