| |
3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>
commit 8c20871998c082f6fbc963f1449a5ba5140ee39a upstream.
Commit df5e6223407e ("ext4: fix deadlock in ext4_symlink() in ENOSPC conditions") recalculated the number of credits needed for a long symlink, in the process of splitting it into two transactions. However, the first credit calculation under-counted because if selinux is enabled, credits are needed to create the selinux xattr as well.
Overrunning the reservation will result in an OOPS in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() due to this assert:
J_ASSERT_JH(jh, handle->h_buffer_credits > 0);
Fix this by increasing the reservation size.
