Subject: [PATCH 1/6] ext4: Fix error handling in ext4_restore_inline_data()
Date:   Thu, 13 Jan 2022 08:56:24 +0530
Message-Id: <e10d89e0184f47ccf9093f50276c2e188c19fd3f.1642044249.git.riteshh@linux.ibm.com>

While running "./check -I 200 generic/475" it sometimes gives below
kernel BUG(). Ideally we should not call ext4_write_inline_data() if
ext4_create_inline_data() has failed.

<log snip>
[73131.453234] kernel BUG at fs/ext4/inline.c:223!

<code snip>
 212 static void ext4_write_inline_data(struct inode *inode, struct ext4_iloc *iloc,
 213                                    void *buffer, loff_t pos, unsigned int len)
 214 {
<...>
 223         BUG_ON(!EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_off);
 224         BUG_ON(pos + len > EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_size);

This patch handles the error and prints out a emergency msg saying potential
data loss for the given inode (since we couldn't restore the original
inline_data due to some previous error).

[ 9571.070313] EXT4-fs (dm-0): error restoring inline_data for inode -- potential data loss! (inode 1703982, error -30)
