Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Drop the call to ext4_error() from ext4_get_group_info()
Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2023 12:02:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230614100446.14337-1-fmdefrancesco@gmail.com> (raw)

A recent patch added a call to ext4_error() which is problematic since
some callers of the ext4_get_group_info() function may be holding a
spinlock, whereas ext4_error() must never be called in atomic context.

This triggered a report from Syzbot: "BUG: sleeping function called from
invalid context in ext4_update_super" (see the link below).

Therefore, drop the call to ext4_error() from ext4_get_group_info(). In
the meantime use eight characters tabs instead of nine characters ones.

Reported-by: syzbot+4acc7d910e617b360859@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/00000000000070575805fdc6cdb2@google.com/
Fixes: 5354b2af3406 ("ext4: allow ext4_get_group_info() to fail")
