From 7a4c5de27efa4c2ecca87af0a3deea63446367e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2012 13:57:52 -0400 Subject: ext4: don't call ext4_error while block group is locked While in ext4_validate_block_bitmap(), if an block allocation bitmap is found to be invalid, we call ext4_error() while the block group is still locked. This causes ext4_commit_super() to call a function which might sleep while in an atomic context. There's no need to keep the block group locked at this point, so hoist the ext4_error() call up to ext4_validate_block_bitmap() and release the block group spinlock before calling ext4_error().
