We need to make sure we update the inode bitmap and clear
EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT flag with sb_bgl_lock held. We look
at EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT and reinit the inode bitmap each
time in ext4_read_inode_bitmap (introduced by
c806e68f5647109350ec546fee5b526962970fd2 )
ext4_read_inode_bitmap does:
spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(EXT4_SB(sb), block_group));
if (desc->bg_flags & cpu_to_le16(EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT)) {
ext4_init_inode_bitmap(sb, bh, block_group, desc);
and ext4_new_inode does
if (!ext4_set_bit_atomic(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, group),
ino, inode_bitmap_bh->b_data))
......
...
spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, group));
gdp->bg_flags &= cpu_to_le16(~EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT);
ie,on allocation we update the bitmap then we take the sb_bgl_lock
and clear the EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT flag. What can happen is a
parallel ext4_read_inode_bitmap can zero out the bitmap in between
the above ext4_set_bit_atomic and spin_lock(sb_bg_lock..)
The race results in below user visible errors
EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_free_inode: bit already cleared for inode 168449
EXT4-fs warning (device sdb1): ext4_unlink: Deleting nonexistent file ...
EXT4-fs warning (device sdb1): ext4_rmdir: empty directory has too many links ...
