Currently, data-race like [1] occur in fs/ext4/ialloc.c
find_group_other() and find_group_orlov() read *_lo, *_hi with ext4_free_inodes_count without additional locking. This can cause data-race, but since the lock is held for most writes and free inodes value is generally not a problem even if it is incorrect, it is more appropriate to use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() than to add locking.
Thanks for the updated patch.
