When insert_inode_locked() fails in ext3_new_inode() it most likely
means inode bitmap got corrupted and we allocated again inode which
is already in use. Also doing unlock_new_inode() during error recovery
is wrong since inode does not have I_NEW set. Fix the problem by jumping
to fail: (instead of fail_drop:) which declares filesystem error and
does not call unlock_new_inode().

I think ext2 could use the same treatment.

BTW, though, have you recently started seeing the issue?  We have
people hitting this when resuming after suspend; it seems likely
that the bitmap did get corrupted though, based on some other
things seen in similar bugs.

  Interesting. I've got a report from IBM testing ext3 on SLE11 SP2 kernel
(3.0 based). Their filesystem got damaged (might be HW issue, not sure yet)
and they also observed warnings from unlock_new_inode().

It may be that it has been failing in other ways, but now we get the WARN_ON
and the long backtrace so it's reported more frequently...

I think there might be a hibernate issue that is causing the underlying
corruption, trying to look into that now.
