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...
