From 08db141b5313ac2f64b844fb5725b8d81744b417 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Mahoney Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2017 16:47:34 -0400 Subject: reiserfs: fix race in prealloc discard The main loop in __discard_prealloc is protected by the reiserfs write lock which is dropped across schedules like the BKL it replaced. The problem is that it checks the value, calls a routine that schedules, and then adjusts the state. As a result, two threads that are calling reiserfs_prealloc_discard at the same time can race when one calls reiserfs_free_prealloc_block, the lock is dropped, and the other calls reiserfs_free_prealloc_block with the same block number. In the right circumstances, it can cause the prealloc count to go negative.
