[PATCH v3] ceph: fix writeback_count leak in write_folio_nounlock()
Posted by Wentao Liang 5 days, 4 hours ago
write_folio_nounlock() increments fsc->writeback_count to track
in-flight writeback operations. On several error paths where the
function returns early (folio lookup failure, snapshot context
allocation failure, and writepages submission failure), the function
returns without calling atomic_long_dec_return() to decrement the
counter.

Each leaked increment keeps the counter above zero, which can prevent
the filesystem from cleanly unmounting or suspending writes.

Add atomic_long_dec_return() calls on all error paths that currently
return without decrementing the counter.

Fixes: d55207717ded ("ceph: add encryption support to writepage and writepages")

Changes in v3:
- Also clear write_congested flag when decrementing writeback_count
  on error paths, as suggested by Viacheslav Dubeyko.
- Fix typo error.

Patch is not correctly prepared. Because, current state of the code
hasn't atomic_long_dec().

Thanks,
Slava.
