[ Upstream commit e9fe2b882bd5b26b987c9ba110c2222796f72af5 ] If __es_remove_extent() returns an error it means that when splitting extent, allocating an extent that must be kept failed, where returning an error directly would cause the extent tree to be inconsistent. So we use GFP_NOFAIL to pre-allocate an extent_status and pass it to __es_remove_extent() to avoid this problem. In addition, since the allocated memory is outside the i_es_lock, the extent_status tree may change and the pre-allocated extent_status is no longer needed, so we release the pre-allocated extent_status when es->es_len is not initialized.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
