</TASK>

When ‘ioctl(OCFS2_IOC_GROUP_ADD, …)’ has failed for the particular
inode in ‘ocfs2_verify_group_and_input()’, corresponding buffer head
remains cached and subsequent call to the same ‘ioctl()’ for the same
inode issues the BUG() in ‘ocfs2_set_new_buffer_uptodate()’ (trying
to cache the same buffer head of that inode). Fix this by uncaching
the buffer head with ‘ocfs2_remove_from_cache()’ on error path in
‘ocfs2_group_add()’.
