Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] ext4: fix buffer references leak problem

Hi,

This patch set want to fix a buffer references leak problem in
ext4_ind_remove_space() and do some cleanup of the releasing code.

Change since v1:
- Separate the cleanup code from the fix patch.

zhangyi (F) (2):
ext4: brelse all indirect buffer in ext4_ind_remove_space()
ext4: cleanup bh release code in ext4_ind_remove_space()

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] ext4: brelse all indirect buffer in ext4_ind_remove_space()

All indirect buffers get by ext4_find_shared() should be released no
mater the branch should be freed or not. But now, we forget to release
the lower depth indirect buffers when removing space from the same
higher depth indirect block. It will lead to buffer leak and futher
more, it may lead to quota information corruption when using old quota,
consider the following case.

- Create and mount an empty ext4 filesystem without extent and quota
features,
- quotacheck and enable the user & group quota,
- Create some files and write some data to them, and then punch hole
to some files of them, it may trigger the buffer leak problem
mentioned above.
- Disable quota and run quotacheck again, it will create two new
aquota files and write the checked quota information to them, which
probably may reuse the freed indirect block(the buffer and page
cache was not freed) as data block.
- Enable quota again, it will invoke
vfs_load_quota_inode()->invalidate_bdev() to try to clean unused
buffers and pagecache. Unfortunately, because of the buffer of quota
data block is still referenced, quota code cannot read the up to date
quota info from the device and lead to quota information corruption.

This problem can be reproduced by xfstests generic/231 on ext3 file
system or ext4 file system without extent and quota features.

This patch fix this problem by brelse the missing indirect buffers, in
ext4_ind_remove_space().

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] ext4: cleanup bh release code in ext4_ind_remove_space()

Currently, we are releasing the indirect buffer where we are done with
it in ext4_ind_remove_space(), so we can see the brelse() and
BUFFER_TRACE() everywhere. It seems fragile and hard to read, and we
may probably forget to release the buffer some day. This patch do some
cleanup stuff, put all the releasing code together to the end of this
function.

OK, now when the cleanup is separate, I actually like it. So feel free to
