Thank you for the patch. It definitely looks like this is fixing the
problem with trace exit, but I would recommend to use a better name
than "out_unlink:" for the label. I was looking at the ext4_unlink()
function, and found it confusing that there is already an "end_unlink:"
label and these two names would be easily confused.

Please change your new label to be "out_trace:", or similar, which
makes it more clear that it is undoing the "trace" part of the code.

It looks like there is another similar problem with the error handling
in this function:

bh = ext4_find_entry(dir, &dentry->d_name, &de, NULL);
if (IS_ERR(bh))
return PTR_ERR(bh);
if (!bh)
goto end_unlink;

At this point the journal handle has not been started, and the PTR_ERR()
return is also missing the trace exit, so it would be better to change
these two cases to use the "out_trace:" label as well, like:

bh = ext4_find_entry(dir, &dentry->d_name, &de, NULL);
if (!bh) {
retval = -ENOENT;
goto out_trace;
}
if (IS_ERR(bh)) {
retval = PTR_ERR(bh);
goto out_trace;
}

Could you please resubmit your patch with these small changes.


There could be a separate small patch to split up the "end_unlink:"
label to be two separate labels, and then remove the "if (handle)"
check, and then use out_bh: before the handle is started:

if (le32_to_cpu(de->inode) != inode->i_ino) {
retval = -EFSCORRUPTED;
goto out_bh;
}

handle = ext4_journal_start(dir, EXT4_HT_DIR,
EXT4_DATA_TRANS_BLOCKS(dir->i_sb));
if (IS_ERR(handle)) {
retval = PTR_ERR(handle);
goto out_bh;
}
:
:

out_handle:
ext4_journal_stop(handle);
out_bh:
brelse(bh);
out_trace:
trace_ext4_unlink_exit(dentry, retval);
return retval;

Cheers, Andreas
