ext4: Avoid leaking blocks after a block allocation failure

Browse source

We should add inode to the orphan list in the same transaction
as block allocation.  This ensures that if we crash after a failed
block allocation and before we do a vmtruncate we don't leak block
(ie block marked as used in bitmap but not claimed by the inode).
