Summary: EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23 causes wrong free space calculation
on ext2 and ext3
Product: File System
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.33
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: ext4
AssignedTo: fs_ext4@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
ReportedBy: thomas@archlinux.org
Regression: No
When enabling the EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23 option in 2.6.33. The free space
calculation on ext2 and ext3 becomes incorrect. Steps to reproduce:
1) Create ext2 or ext3 file system with mkfs
2) Mount it on a kernel with EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23 enabled
3) Launch "watch -n1 df -h /path/to/mountpoint" in another terminal
4) Download a file with wget
The "used space" on the ext2/3 will now increase by about 500MB per second.
Once you stop the download and type "sync" (or wait for a while), the values
shown for free/used space return to expected values. This is always
reproducible.
We can reproduce this on x86_32 and x86_64 with the Arch Linux distribution
kernel, as well as my own personal Core2-optimized 64 Bit kernel.
.config x86_32:

.config x86_64:
