In commitefa092f3d4"[XFS] Fixes a bug in the quota code when allocating a new dquot record", we allocate a new dquot block, grab a buffer to initialize it, and return the locked initialized dquot buffer to the caller for further in-core dquot initialization. Unfortunately, if the _bmap_finish errored out, _qm_dqalloc would also error out without bothering to free the (locked) buffer. Leaking a locked buffer caused hangs in generic/388 when quotas are enabled. Furthermore, the _bmap_finish -> _defer_finish conversion in310a75a3c6("xfs: change xfs_bmap_{finish,cancel,init,free} -> xfs_defer_*") failed to observe that the buffer was held going into _defer_finish and therefore failed to notice that the buffer lock is /not/ maintained afterwards. Now that we can bjoin a buffer to a defer_ops, use this mechanism to ensure that the buffer stays locked across the _defer_finish. Release the holds and locks on the buffer as appropriate if we have to error out. There is a subtlety here for the caller in that the buffer emerges locked and held to the transaction, so if the _trans_commit fails we have to release the buffer explicitly. This fixes the unmount hang in generic/388 when quotas are enabled. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Brian Foster <bfoster@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
