[PATCH v1 8/9] ntfs: only count successfully cleared runs when freeing clusters
From: Baolin Liu
Date: Fri Aug 21 2026 - 01:33:39 EST
From: Baolin Liu <liubaolin@xxxxxxxxxx>
ntfs_cluster_free_from_rl_nolock() adds a run's length to nr_freed
whenever the error bookkeeping condition is false, which includes
cases where ntfs_bitmap_clear_run() actually failed - e.g. a second
run failing with the same errno as an earlier one, or any failure
after a non-ENOMEM error was already recorded. Since a failed
ntfs_bitmap_clear_run() rolls back its partial modifications, no
bits were cleared for that run, yet its length still inflates
vol->free_clusters, corrupting statfs output and the allocator's
free space gate.
Only count runs whose bitmap clear succeeded.
Fixes: 11ccc9107dc4 ("ntfs: update runlist handling and cluster allocator")
