Subject: [RFCv4 2/6] ext4: mballoc: Use ext4_lock_group() around calculations involving bb_free
Date: Sun, 10 May 2020 12:38:22 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <015bd57d5ff409cef6d452dffd4c140848ea5021.1589086820.git.riteshh@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1589086820.git.riteshh@linux.ibm.com>

Currently while doing block allocation grp->bb_free may be getting
modified if discard is happening in parallel.
For e.g. consider a case where there are lot of threads who have
preallocated lot of blocks and there is a thread which is trying
to discard all of this group's PA. Now it could happen that
we see all of those group's bb_free is zero and fail the allocation
while there is sufficient space if we free up all the PA.

So this patch takes the ext4_lock_group() around calculations involving
grp->bb_free in ext4_mb_good_group() & ext4_mb_good_group_nolock()
