reiserfs: fix race in prealloc discard The main loop in __discard_prealloc is protected by the reiserfs write lock which is dropped across schedules like the BKL it replaced. The problem is that it checks the value, calls a routine that schedules, and then adjusts the state. As a result, two threads that are calling reiserfs_prealloc_discard at the same time can race when one calls reiserfs_free_prealloc_block, the lock is dropped, and the other calls reiserfs_free_prealloc_block with the same block number. In the right circumstances, it can cause the prealloc count to go negative. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
