Revision 7ce9d5d1f3c8736511daa413c64985a05b2feee3 authored by Eric Sandeen on 04 March 2009, 23:38:18 UTC, committed by Theodore Ts'o on 04 March 2009, 23:38:18 UTC
I was seeing fsck errors on inode bitmaps after a 4 thread dbench run on a 4 cpu machine: Inode bitmap differences: -50736 -(50752--50753) etc... I believe that this is because ext4_free_inode() uses atomic bitops, and although ext4_new_inode() *used* to also use atomic bitops for synchronization, commit 393418676a7602e1d7d3f6e560159c65c8cbd50e changed this to use the sb_bgl_lock, so that we could also synchronize against read_inode_bitmap and initialization of uninit inode tables. However, that change left ext4_free_inode using atomic bitops, which I think leaves no synchronization between setting & unsetting bits in the inode table. The below patch fixes it for me, although I wonder if we're getting at all heavy-handed with this spinlock...
