ext4_mb_discard_preallocations() only checks for grp->bb_prealloc_list of every group to discard the group's PA to free up the space if allocation request fails. Consider below race:- Process A Process B 1. allocate blocks 1. Fails block allocation from ext4_mb_regular_allocator() ext4_lock_group() allocated blocks more than ac_o_ex.fe_len ext4_unlock_group() 2. Scans the grp->bb_prealloc_list (under ext4_lock_group()) and find nothing and thus return -ENOSPC. 2. Add the additional blocks to PA list ext4_lock_group() add blocks to grp->bb_prealloc_list ext4_unlock_group() Above race could be avoided if we add those additional blocks to grp->bb_prealloc_list at the same time with block allocation when ext4_lock_group() was still held. With this discard-PA will know if there are actually any blocks which could be freed from the PA Signed-off-by: Ritesh Harjani <riteshh@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/a2217dd782585b42328981832e6d396abaaccb80.1589955723.git.riteshh@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
