[PATCH v2] ext4: have ext4_xattr_set_handle() allocate journal credits
From: Tahsin Erdogan
Date: Wed Jun 28 2017 - 23:06:34 EST
Currently, callers of ext4_xattr_set_handle() are expected to allocate
journal credits for setting extended attributes. ext4_xattr_set_credits()
helps them figure out necessary credits. ext4_xattr_set_handle()
performs a sufficient credits check before starting data updates.
This model works fine for callers that start the transaction handle
themselves, such as ext4_xattr_set(). Other callers like ext4_set_context()
and __ext4_set_acl() use transaction handles that were started by outer
scopes so for this to work properly we would have to involve outer scope
callers to incorporate xattr credits.
Also, existing sufficient credits check in ext4_xattr_set_handle()
ignores the fact that allocated credits may have been intended for
operations other than setting extended attributes. So in theory
ext4_xattr_set_handle() may finish successfully but have also depleted
the journal credits that were supposed to be used by other operations
afterwards.
In this patch, responsibility of allocating journal credits is moved to
ext4_xattr_set_handle(). It tries to extend the journal credits as
needed or will restart the transaction handle if extend doesn't work.
Fixes: 021264a98d700e8 ("ext4: improve journal credit handling in set xattr paths")

v2: Allocate 1 journal credit in ext4_set_acl() and ext4_set_context() for modifying
inode outside ext4_xattr_set_handle() call.
