From 1415dd8705394399d59a3df1ab48d149e1e41e77 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2011 21:13:46 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ext3: Fix error handling on inode bitmap corruption When insert_inode_locked() fails in ext3_new_inode() it most likely means inode bitmap got corrupted and we allocated again inode which is already in use. Also doing unlock_new_inode() during error recovery is wrong since inode does not have I_NEW set. Fix the problem by jumping to fail: (instead of fail_drop:) which declares filesystem error and does not call unlock_new_inode().
