ext4: fix bigalloc cluster freeing when hole punching under load
Ext4 may not free clusters correctly when punching holes in bigalloc
file systems under high load conditions. If it's not possible to
extend and restart the journal in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() when preparing to
remove blocks from a punched region, a retry of the entire punch
operation is triggered in ext4_ext_remove_space(). This causes a
partial cluster to be set to the first cluster in the extent found to
the right of the punched region. However, if the punch operation
prior to the retry had made enough progress to delete one or more
extents and a partial cluster candidate for freeing had already been
recorded, the retry would overwrite the partial cluster. The loss of
this information makes it impossible to correctly free the original
partial cluster in all cases.
This bug can cause generic/476 to fail when run as part of
xfstests-bld's bigalloc and bigalloc_1k test cases. The failure is
reported when e2fsck detects bad iblocks counts greater than expected
in units of whole clusters and also detects a number of negative block
bitmap differences equal to the iblocks discrepancy in cluster units.
