[ Upstream commit 70022da804f0f3f152115688885608c39182082e ]
As we test disk offline/online with running fsstress, we find fsstress
process is keeping running state.

ext4_mb_discard_preallocations_should_retry(sb, ac, &seq)
freed = ext4_mb_discard_preallocations
ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations
this_cpu_inc(discard_pa_seq);
---> freed == 0
seq_retry = ext4_get_discard_pa_seq_sum
for_each_possible_cpu(__cpu)
__seq += per_cpu(discard_pa_seq, __cpu);
if (seq_retry != *seq) {
*seq = seq_retry;
ret = true;
}
As we see seq_retry is sum of discard_pa_seq every cpu, if
ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations return zero discard_pa_seq in this
cpu maybe increase one, so condition "seq_retry != *seq" have always
been met.
Ritesh Harjani suggest to in ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations function we
only increase discard_pa_seq when there is some PA to free.
Fixes: 07b5b8e1ac40 ("ext4: mballoc: introduce pcpu seqcnt for freeing PA to
improve ENOSPC handling")
