      ext4: fix reference counting bug on block allocation error · 1f5eff58
      Vegard Nossum authored
      commit 554a5ccc upstream.
      
      If we hit this error when mounted with errors=continue or
      errors=remount-ro:
      
          EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used:2940: comm ext4.exe: Allocating blocks 5090-6081 which overlap fs metadata
      
      then ext4_mb_new_blocks() will call ext4_mb_release_context() and try to
      continue. However, ext4_mb_release_context() is the wrong thing to call
      here since we are still actually using the allocation context.
      
      Instead, just error out. We could retry the allocation, but there is a
      possibility of getting stuck in an infinite loop instead, so this seems
      safer.
      
      [ Fixed up so we don't return EAGAIN to userspace. --tytso ]
      
      Fixes: 8556e8f3 ("ext4: Don't allow new groups to be added during block allocation")
