[PATCH v2 2/7] ext4: avoid potential buffer_head leak in __ext4_new_inode()

From: Kemeng Shi
Date: Tue Aug 20 2024 - 09:26:15 EST


If a group is marked EXT4_GROUP_INFO_IBITMAP_CORRUPT after it's inode
bitmap buffer_head was successfully verified, then __ext4_new_inode()
will get a valid inode_bitmap_bh of a corrupted group from
ext4_read_inode_bitmap() in which case inode_bitmap_bh misses a release.
Hnadle "IS_ERR(inode_bitmap_bh)" and group corruption separately like
how ext4_free_inode() does to avoid buffer_head leak.

Fixes: 9008a58e5dce ("ext4: make the bitmap read routines return real error codes")
