commit bc2fbaa4d3808aef82dd1064a8e61c16549fe956 upstream.

sbi-&gt;s_freeinodes_counter is only decreased by the ext2 code, it is never
increased. This patch fixes it.

Note that sbi-&gt;s_freeinodes_counter is only used in the algorithm that
tries to find the group for new allocations, so this bug is not easily
visible (the only visibility is that the group finding algorithm selects
inoptinal result).

Now that we got rid of the bdi abuse on character devices we can always use
sb-&gt;s_bdi to get at the backing_dev_info for a file, except for the block
device special case.  Export inode_to_bdi and replace uses of
mapping-&gt;backing_dev_info with it to prepare for the removal of

<title>ext2/3: use prandom_u32() instead of get_random_bytes()</title>

<content type='text'>
Many of the uses of get_random_bytes() do not actually need
cryptographically secure random numbers.  Replace those uses with a
call to prandom_u32(), which is faster and which doesn't consume
entropy from the /dev/random driver.

The commit dd1f723bf56bd96efc9d90e9e60dc511c79de48f has made that for
ext4, and i did the same for ext2/3.

<title>ext2: Fix BUG_ON in evict() on inode deletion</title>

<id>c288d2969627be7ffc90904ac8c6aae0295fbf9f</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit 8e3dffc6 introduced a regression where deleting inode with
large extended attributes leads to triggering
  BUG_ON(inode-&gt;i_state != (I_FREEING | I_CLEAR))
in fs/inode.c:evict(). That happens because freeing of xattr block
dirtied the inode and it happened after clear_inode() has been called.

Fix the issue by moving removal of xattr block into ext2_evict_inode()
before clear_inode() call close to a place where data blocks are
truncated. That is also more logical place and removes surprising
requirement that ext2_free_blocks() mustn't dirty the inode.

<title>ext2: use memweight()</title>

<id>ecd0afa3ced0ebf36901b53fd9ee431f8a34a161</id>
<content type='text'>
Convert ext2_count_free() to use memweight() instead of table lookup
based counting clear bits implementation.  This change only affects the
code segments enabled by EXT2FS_DEBUG.

Note that this memweight() call can't be replaced with a single
bitmap_weight() call, although the pointer to the memory area is aligned
to long-word boundary.  Because the size of the memory area may not be a
multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, then it returns wrong value on big-endian
architecture.

This also includes the following changes.

- Remove unnecessary map == NULL check in ext2_count_free() which
  always takes non-null pointer as the memory area.

- Fix printk format warning that only reveals with EXT2FS_DEBUG.

Places which modify superblock feature / state fields mark the superblock
buffer dirty so it is written out by flusher thread. Thus there's no need to
set s_dirt there.

The only other fields changing in the superblock are the numbers of free
blocks, free inodes and s_wtime. There's no real need to write (or even
compute) these periodically. Free blocks / inodes counters are recomputed on
every mount from group counters anyway and value of s_wtime is only
informational and imprecise anyway. So it should be enough to write these
opportunistically on mount, remount, umount, and sync_fs times.

When insert_inode_locked() fails in ext2_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 the inode does
not have I_NEW set. Fix the problem by informing about filesystem error and
jumping to fail: (instead of fail_drop:) which doesn't call unlock_new_inode().
