It seems I can easily reproduce it.

This happens because of  delayed allocation. Each time BUG or
unexpected power off happens during object files usually becomes
broken. IMHO this is expected issue. Just recompile from beginning
# make clean; make -j4
As soon as your testcase is kernel compilation.
Strange i'm living with quota patches on my notebook more than
a month( two weeks with the version committed to quota git tree)
with and without quota . But this never happens.
Currently i'm trying to reproduce the bug on 2.6.33-rc2
Please add keep me in cc because seems the bug was introduced
(or just triggered) by my quota patches.

It does not help, it still fails.
I will try to crosscompile the kernel with Ted's patch on another host.

BTW what sha1 of the git-commit you have used to reproduce
the bug (2.6.33-rc1 HEAD has no this BUG_ON).
This is important to me to know it, or just post the 
fs/ext4/inode.c file.

Again strange, please run fsck. What about compile it from very
beginning (start from unpacking tar-ball from kernel.org)
Or may be compile it on another file-system(ext3 or
ext4 with nodelalloc option)

It is sad, but i still can not reproduce your bug.
At this time i've tested following configurations: 
system   :    2.6.33-rc2, x86 two cores cpu with 2GB of ram 
block dev: real sata drive, loopdev over tmpfs
mkfs     : 4k and 1k blocksize
mount    : w/o quota, quota, journaled quota
quota    : both ON and OFF states
fs-load  : - fsstress with 1,4,16,32 concurrent tasks
           - kernel compilation -j4, -j32
           - In fact currently my mail-dir is under quota control.
Please clarify your use-case:
0) Your system speciffication: cpu_num, mem_size, page_size(i guess 8k)
   block device.
1) mkfs options
2) mount options
3) quota options (if any)
4) your fs load test-case
5) How long does it takes you to reproduce the bug.

It seems Dmitry Torokhov has the same issue, Cc'ed.

It was in the first post - 2f99f5c
There is only OCFS update between it and -rc2.

I tried fsck, it did not find any problem, kernel build still fails after it.

Are you using ccache? I do and all the breakage is hidden there (so
"make clean" does not help), just clean you cache and you should be good
to go.

It happens to me as soon as a moderate load is put on ext3 fs mounted
with ext4 driver.

OK, can you give me the output of:

debugfs /dev/sda1
debugfs: stat <1387643>
debugfs: ncheck 1387643
debugfs: quit

OK, i've been able to reproduce the problem using xfsqa test #74
(fstest) when an ext3 file system is mounted the ext4 file system
driver.  I was then able to bisect it down to commit d21cd8f6, which
was introduced between 2.6.33-rc1 and 2.6.33-rc2, as part of
quota/ext4 patch series pushed by Jan.

I then tested v2.6.33-rc2 with commit d21cd8 reverted, and I was not
able to replicate the BUG.  More investigation is needed, but if we
compare the potential quota deadlock with the apparently
fairly-easy-to-replicate BUG, if we can't find a better fix fairly
quickly we should probably just revert this commit for now.

    ext4: Fix potential quota deadlock
    
    We have to delay vfs_dq_claim_space() until allocation context destruction.
    Currently we have following call-trace:
    ext4_mb_new_blocks()
      /* task is already holding ac->alloc_semp */
     ->ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used
        ->vfs_dq_claim_space()  /*  acquire dqptr_sem here. Possible deadlock */
     ->ext4_mb_release_context() /* drop ac->alloc_semp here */
    
    Let's move quota claiming to ext4_da_update_reserve_space()

OK, here's a patch which I think should avoid the BUG in
fs/ext4/inode.c.  It should fix the regression, but in the long run we
need to pretty seriously rethink how we account for the need for
potentially new meta-data blocks when doing delayed allocation.

The remaining problem with this machinery is that
ext4_da_update_reserve_space() and ext4_da_release_space() is that
they both try to calculate how many metadata blocks will potentially
required by calculating ext4_calc_metadata_amount() based on the
number of delayed allocation blocks found in i_reserved_data_blocks.
The problem is that ext4_calc_metadata_amount() assumes that the
number of blocks passed to it is contiguous, and what might be left
remaining to be written in the page cache could be anything but
contiguous.  This is a problem which has always been there, so it's
not a regression per se; just a design flaw.

The patch below should fixes the regression caused by commit d21cd8f,
but we need to look much more closely to find a better way of
accounting for the potential need for metadata for inodes facing
delayed allocation.  Could people who are having problems with the BUG
in line 1063 of fs/ext4/inode.c try this patch?

Thanks!!

commit 48b71e562ecd35ab12f6b6420a92fb3c9145da92

    ext4: Patch up how we claim metadata blocks for quota purposes
    
    Commit d21cd8f triggered a BUG in the function
    ext4_da_update_reserve_space() found in fs/ext4/inode.c, which was
    caused by fact that ext4_calc_metadata_amount() can over-estimate how
    many metadata blocks will be needed, especially when using direct
    block-mapped files.  Work around this by not claiming any excess
    metadata blocks than we are prepared to claim at this point.

Hello, I've finally able to reproduce the issue. I'm agree with your
diagnose. But while looking in to code i've found some questions
see late in the message.

Seems what this is not enough.
Just imagine, we may have following call-trace:

 userspace pwrite(fd, d, 1000, off)

So reserved metadata blocks will leak. I'm able to reproduce it like this:
 quotacheck -cu /mnt
 quotaon /mnt
 fsstres -p 16 -d /mnt -l999999999 -n99999999&
 sleep 180
 killall -9 fsstress
 sync; sync;
 cp /mnt/aquota.user > q1
 quotaoff /mnt
 quotacheck -cu /mnt/ # recaculate real quota usage.
 cp /mnt/aquota.user > q2
 diff -up q1 q2 # in my case i've found 1 block leaked.

IMHO we may drop i_allocated_meta_block in ext4_release_file()
But while looking in to this function i've found another question
about locking
static int ext4_release_file(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp)
{
	if (EXT4_I(inode)->i_state & EXT4_STATE_DA_ALLOC_CLOSE) {
		ext4_alloc_da_blocks(inode);
		EXT4_I(inode)->i_state &= ~EXT4_STATE_DA_ALLOC_CLOSE;
<<< Seems what i_state modification must being protected by i_mutex,
 but currently caller don't have to hold it.
.....                
	}

The simplest way of reproducing the BUG() that I've found is:

mke2fs -t ext3 /dev/XXX
mount /dev/XXX /mnt
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/big-file bs=1024k count=16
sync

Unfortunately, this is all to easy for users to stumble across, so we
need to fix this ASAP.   :-(

I don't think this is the problem.  After we do the truncate, we will
be calling ext4_da_release_space with a value that should cause us to
call ext4_calc_metadata_amount with 0, so it will return 0.  At that
point, we will have some i_reserved_metadata_blocks to free.  The
problem is that in ext4_da_release_space(), I forgot to call
vfs_dq_claim_block(mdb_claim).  That was probably the cause of the leak.

In any case, here's a patch which also fixes the blatent
under-estimation of the number of metadata blocks that could be needed
if the process is writing random blocks into a sparse file.
Unfortunately, especially for non-extent mapped files, we *very* badly
over-estimate how many indirect blocks will be necessary we assume
each data block requires 2-3 indirect blocks(!!!).  Guessing exactly
how many metadata blocks will be necessary when doing delayed
allocation is painful, and I'm very tempted to simply change the quota
system to not include metadata blocks at all.  The only thing stopping
me from doing this is we'd also need to make synchronized changes to
userspace programs like checkquota.

Care to give this a spin?  BTW, are you testing with lockdep enabled?
I'm reliably getting a LOCKDEP complaint any time I use quotas, either
normal quotas or journalled quotas, and if I use normal quotas, I get
a lot of complaints from the JBD layer about dirty metadata buffers
that aren't part of a transaction belonging to the aquota.user file.
(What's up with that?  I thought if you weren't using journalled
quotas the file that should be used is quota.user?)  In any case, it
looks like the quota code in ext4 needs more attention, and we may
want to check and see if any of these bugs are also turning up in the
ext3 code, or were introduced as part of the ext4 enhancements.
(Clearly the problems associated with quota and delalloc are ext4
specific.)

commit ef627929781c98113e6ae93f159dd3c12a884ad8
Author: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
Date:   Wed Dec 30 00:04:04 2009 -0500

    ext4: Patch up how we claim metadata blocks for quota purposes
    
    Commit d21cd8f triggered a BUG in the function
    ext4_da_update_reserve_space() found in fs/ext4/inode.c.  The root
    cause of this BUG() is caused by the fact that
    ext4_calc_metadata_amount() can severely over-estimate how many
    metadata blocks will be needed, especially when using direct
    block-mapped files.
    
    In addition, it can also badly *under* estimate how much space is
    needed, since ext4_calc_metadata_amount() assumes that the blocks are
    contiguous, and this is not always true.  If the application is
    writing blocks to a sparse file, the number of metadata blocks
    necessary can be severly underestimated by the functions
    ext4_da_reserve_space(), ext4_da_update_reserve_space() and
    ext4_da_release_space().
    
    Unfortunately, doing this right means that we need to massively
    over-estimate the amount of free space needed.  So in some cases we
    may need to force the inode to be written to disk asynchronously in
    the hope that we don't get spurious quota failures.

(I'm answering this in a separate message since it really is a
separate question).

Yeah, that looks like a problem --- and it exists in more than just
this one place.  Unfortunately using i_mutex to protect updates to
i_state is a bit heavyweight.  What I'm thinking about doing is
converting all of the references the i_state flags to use set_bit,
clear_bit, and test_bit, since this will allow us to safely and
cleanly set/clear/test individual bits.

A quick audit of ext3 seems to show this is potentially a problem with
ext3 as well (specifically, in fs/ext3/xattr.c's use of
EXT3_STATE_XATTR).

OK, that's this BUG which is triggering:

Here's a revised version of the patch which should avoid the BUG_ON,
which should make it be less annoying.  We should really figure out
what's going on and fix it, though.  It may be fixed by the recently
pushed quota race fixes, or at least there's a good chace that it's
related to a ext4 quota-releated WARN_ON that people have been
complaining about.
