ext4: fix error handling in ext4_restore_inline_data()
While running "./check -I 200 generic/475" it sometimes gives below kernel BUG(). Ideally we should not call ext4_write_inline_data() if ext4_create_inline_data() has failed. <log snip> [73131.453234] kernel BUG at fs/ext4/inline.c:223! <code snip> 212 static void ext4_write_inline_data(struct inode *inode, struct ext4_iloc *iloc, 213 void *buffer, loff_t pos, unsigned int len) 214 { <...> 223 BUG_ON(!EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_off); 224 BUG_ON(pos + len > EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_size); This patch handles the error and prints out a emergency msg saying potential data loss for the given inode (since we couldn't restore the original inline_data due to some previous error). [ 9571.070313] EXT4-fs (dm-0): error restoring inline_data for inode -- potential data loss!
