From 1d0a00e9979b465cb6d5ca22829437fd96e0f76e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2011 17:37:02 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix error handling on inode bitmap corruption commit acd6ad83517639e8f09a8c5525b1dccd81cd2a10 upstream. When insert_inode_locked() fails in ext4_new_inode() it most likely means inode bitmap got corrupted and we allocated again inode which is already in use. Also doing unlock_new_inode() during error recovery is wrong since the inode does not have I_NEW set. Fix the problem by jumping to fail: (instead of fail_drop:) which declares filesystem error and does not call unlock_new_inode().
