ext4: don't call ext4_error while block group is locked
While in ext4_validate_block_bitmap(), if an block allocation bitmap is found to be invalid, we call ext4_error() while the block group is still locked. This causes ext4_commit_super() to call a function which might sleep while in an atomic context. There's no need to keep the block group locked at this point, so hoist the ext4_error() call up to ext4_validate_block_bitmap() and release the block group spinlock before calling ext4_error(). The reported stack trace can be found at: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/33731 Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
