[ Upstream commit 32302085a8d90859c40cf1a5e8313f575d06ec75 ]

Fix a debug-only build error in ext2/xattr.c:

When building without extra debugging, (and with another patch that uses
no_printk() instead of &lt;empty&gt; for the ext2-xattr debug-print macros,
this build error happens:

../fs/ext2/xattr.c: In function ‘ext2_xattr_cache_insert’:
../fs/ext2/xattr.c:869:18: error: ‘ext2_xattr_cache’ undeclared (first use in
this function); did you mean ‘ext2_xattr_list’?
     atomic_read(&amp;ext2_xattr_cache-&gt;c_entry_count));

Fix the problem by removing cached entry count from the debug message
since otherwise we'd have to export the mbcache structure just for that.

<title>ext2: fix empty body warnings when -Wextra is used</title>

[ Upstream commit 44a52022e7f15cbaab957df1c14f7a4f527ef7cf ]

When EXT2_ATTR_DEBUG is not defined, modify the 2 debug macros
to use the no_printk() macro instead of &lt;nothing&gt;.
This fixes gcc warnings when -Wextra is used:

../fs/ext2/xattr.c:252:42: warning: suggest braces around empty body in an ‘if’ statement [-Wempty-body]
../fs/ext2/xattr.c:258:42: warning: suggest braces around empty body in an ‘if’ statement [-Wempty-body]
../fs/ext2/xattr.c:330:42: warning: suggest braces around empty body in an ‘if’ statement [-Wempty-body]
../fs/ext2/xattr.c:872:45: warning: suggest braces around empty body in an ‘else’ statement [-Wempty-body]

I have verified that the only object code change (with gcc 7.5.0) is
the reversal of some instructions from 'cmp a,b' to 'cmp b,a'.

commit d9e9866803f7b6c3fdd35d345e97fb0b2908bbbc upstream.

Clang warns:

../fs/ext2/super.c:1076:3: warning: misleading indentation; statement is
not part of the previous 'if' [-Wmisleading-indentation]
        sbi-&gt;s_groups_count = ((le32_to_cpu(es-&gt;s_blocks_count) -

../fs/ext2/super.c:1074:2: note: previous statement is here
        if (EXT2_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) == 0)
        ^
1 warning generated.

This warning occurs because there is a space before the tab on this
line. Remove it so that the indentation is consistent with the Linux
kernel coding style and clang no longer warns.

commit e705f4b8aa27a59f8933e8f384e9752f052c469c upstream.

Check err when partial == NULL is meaningless because
partial == NULL means getting branch successfully without
error.

commit 1c2d14212b15a60300a2d4f6364753e87394c521 upstream.

When ext2 filesystem is created with 64k block size, ext2_max_size()
will return value less than 0. Also, we cannot write any file in this fs
since the sb-&gt;maxbytes is less than 0. The core of the problem is that
the size of block index tree for such large block size is more than
i_blocks can carry. So fix the computation to count with this
possibility.

File size limits computed with the new function for the full range of
possible block sizes look like:

bits file_size
10     17247252480
11    275415851008
12   2196873666560
13   2197948973056
14   2198486220800

commit ecebf55d27a11538ea84aee0be643dd953f830d5 upstream.

The function ext2_xattr_set calls brelse(bh) to drop the reference count
of bh. After that, bh may be freed. However, following brelse(bh),
it reads bh-&gt;b_data via macro HDR(bh). This may result in a
use-after-free bug. This patch moves brelse(bh) after reading field.

Sync syscall to DAX file needs to flush processor cache, but it
currently does not flush to existing DAX files.  This is because
'ext2_da_aops' is set to address_space_operations of existing DAX
files, instead of 'ext2_dax_aops', since S_DAX flag is set after
ext2_set_aops() in the open path.

Similar to ext4, change ext2_iget() to initialize i_flags before
ext2_set_aops().

This patch is reworked from an earlier patch that Dan has posted:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10131727/

VM_MIXEDMAP is used by dax to direct mm paths like vm_normal_page() that
the memory page it is dealing with is not typical memory from the linear
map.  The get_user_pages_fast() path, since it does not resolve the vma,
is already using {pte,pmd}_devmap() as a stand-in for VM_MIXEDMAP, so we
use that as a VM_MIXEDMAP replacement in some locations.  In the cases
where there is no pte to consult we fallback to using vma_is_dax() to
detect the VM_MIXEDMAP special case.

Now that we have explicit driver pfn_t-flag opt-in/opt-out for
get_user_pages() support for DAX we can stop setting VM_MIXEDMAP.  This
also means we no longer need to worry about safely manipulating vm_flags
in a future where we support dynamically changing the dax mode of a
file.

DAX should also now be supported with madvise_behavior(), vma_merge(),
and copy_page_range().

This patch has been tested against ndctl unit test.  It has also been
tested against xfstests commit: 625515d using fake pmem created by
memmap and no additional issues have been observed.
