A race can occur in the unlikely event ext4 is unable to allocate a physical cluster for a delayed allocation in a bigalloc file system during writeback. Failure to allocate a cluster forces error recovery that includes a call to mpage_release_unused_pages(). That function removes any corresponding delayed allocated blocks from the extent status tree. If a new delayed write is in progress on the same cluster simultaneously, resulting in the addition of an new extent containing one or more blocks in that cluster to the extent status tree, delayed block accounting can be thrown off if that delayed write then encounters a similar cluster allocation failure during future writeback. Write lock the i_data_sem in mpage_release_unused_pages() to fix this problem. Ext4's block/cluster accounting code for bigalloc relies on i_data_sem for mutual exclusion, as is found in the delayed write path, and the locking in mpage_release_unused_pages() is missing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
