Summary

For HAMMER_MEM_RECORD_DATA records the data_offset is a blockmap reservation, finalized at :1256 and consumed by the btree insert at :1283. (a) hammer_blockmap_finalize()'s return value is never checked before the insert β€” a failed finalize silently proceeds to insert a record referencing unfinalized space. (b) If hammer_btree_insert() returns EDEADLK (retryable β€” the caller loop in hammer_inode.c:1331-1345 re-runs sync_record_cursor for the same record), the else-branch at :1331-1335 calls hammer_blockmap_free(data_offset, data_len) on the reservation, and the retry then re-runs blockmap_finalize() on the same resv/data_offset β€” a free-then-finalize sequence that corrupts layer2 bytes_free/zone accounting (free() may even reset the bigblock while the resv is still live in rb_resv_root, inviting double allocation of the same space). Filesystem integrity impact, race-gated (insert-time EDEADLK or finalize failure while syncing a direct-write record), no kernel memory-safety effect. Not stageable deterministically from userspace. Fix: skip hammer_blockmap_free() when error == EDEADLK (the reservation remains valid for the retry) + check finalize's error.
