ext4: fix ext4_discard_allocated_blocks() if we can't allocate the pa…
… struct If there is a failure while allocating the preallocation structure, a number of blocks can end up getting marked in the in-memory buddy bitmap, and then not getting released. This can result in the following corruption getting reported by the kernel: EXT4-fs error (device sda3): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:758: group 1126, 12793 clusters in bitmap, 12729 in gd In that case, we need to release the blocks using mb_free_blocks(). Tested: fs smoke test; also demonstrated that with injected errors, the file system is no longer getting corrupted Google-Bug-Id: 16657874 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected]
