[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH] ocfs2: should reclaim the inode if '__ocfs2_mknod_locked' returns an error

[alex chen]

In ocfs2_mknod_locked if '__ocfs2_mknod_locked' returns an error, we
should reclaim the inode successfully claimed above, otherwise, the
inode never be reused. The case is described below:

ocfs2_mknod
    ocfs2_mknod_locked
	ocfs2_claim_new_inode
		Successfully claim the inode
        __ocfs2_mknod_locked
            ocfs2_journal_access_di
            Failed because of -ENOMEM or other reasons, the inode
			lockres has not been initialized yet.

    iput(inode)
        ocfs2_evict_inode
            ocfs2_delete_inode
                ocfs2_inode_lock
                    ocfs2_inode_lock_full_nested
                        __ocfs2_cluster_lock
				Return -EINVAL because of the inode
				lockres has not been initialized.

		So the following operations are not performed
		ocfs2_wipe_inode
			ocfs2_remove_inode
				ocfs2_free_dinode
					ocfs2_free_suballoc_bits
