Add a check to verify the group descriptor has enough free bits before
attempting allocation in ocfs2_move_extent(). This prevents a kernel
BUG_ON crash in ocfs2_block_group_set_bits() when the move_extents ioctl
is called on a crafted or corrupted filesystem.
The existing validation in ocfs2_validate_gd_self() only checks static
metadata consistency (bg_free_bits_count <= bg_bits) when the descriptor
is first read from disk. However, during move_extents operations,
multiple allocations can exhaust the free bits count below the requested
allocation size, triggering BUG_ON(le16_to_cpu(bg->bg_free_bits_count) <
num_bits).
The debug trace shows the issue clearly:
- Block group 32 validated with bg_free_bits_count=427
- Repeated allocations decreased count: 427 -> 171 -> 43 -> ... -> 1
- Final request for 2 bits with only 1 available triggers BUG_ON
By adding an early check in ocfs2_move_extent() right after
ocfs2_find_victim_alloc_group(), we return -ENOSPC gracefully instead of
crashing the kernel. This also avoids unnecessary work in
ocfs2_probe_alloc_group() and __ocfs2_move_extent() when the allocation
will fail.
