looking at ext3_xattr_block_set() [fs/ext3/xattr.c] ... I see that error = -EDQUOT; if (DQUOT_ALLOC_BLOCK(inode, 1)) goto cleanup;
allocates a quota block, but right after that several error echecks happen ... if (error) goto cleanup; and I don't see any DQUOT_FREE_BLOCK() in the errorpath cleanup: if (ce) mb_cache_entry_release(ce); brelse(new_bh); if (!(bs->bh && s->base == bs->bh->b_data)) kfree(s->base); return error; I'd suggest the attached fix (agains 2.6.11-rc2), comments? best, Herbert --- ./fs/ext3/xattr.c.orig 2005-01-22 15:07:50 +0100 +++ ./fs/ext3/xattr.c 2005-01-22 16:45:09 +0100 @@ -773,7 +773,7 @@ inserted: error = ext3_journal_get_write_access(handle, new_bh); if (error) - goto cleanup; + goto cleanup_dquot; lock_buffer(new_bh); BHDR(new_bh)->h_refcount = cpu_to_le32(1 + le32_to_cpu(BHDR(new_bh)->h_refcount)); @@ -783,7 +783,7 @@ inserted: error = ext3_journal_dirty_metadata(handle, new_bh); if (error) - goto cleanup; + goto cleanup_dquot; } mb_cache_entry_release(ce); ce = NULL; @@ -844,6 +844,10 @@ cleanup: return error; +cleanup_dquot: + DQUOT_FREE_BLOCK(inode, 1); + goto cleanup; + bad_block: ext3_error(inode->i_sb, __FUNCTION__, "inode %ld: bad block %d", inode->i_ino, - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
