[ Upstream commit 50b3a818991074177a56c87124c7a7bdf5fa4f67 ]

We need to calculate the max file size accurately if the total blocks
that can address by block tree exceed the upper_limit. But this check is
not correct now, it only compute the total data blocks but missing
metadata blocks are needed. So in the case of "data blocks &lt; upper_limit
&amp;&amp; total blocks &gt; upper_limit", we will get wrong result. Fortunately,
this case could not happen in reality, but it's confused and better to
correct the computing.

[ Upstream commit 372d1f3e1bfede719864d0d1fbf3146b1e638c88 ]

The ext2_error() function syncs the filesystem so it sleeps.  The caller
is holding a spinlock so it's not allowed to sleep.

   ext2_statfs() &lt;- disables preempt
   -&gt; ext2_count_free_blocks()
      -&gt; ext2_get_group_desc()

Fix this by using WARN() to print an error message and a stack trace
instead of using ext2_error().

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).

[ 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'.

Clang warns:

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
15   2198754754560

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.

<title>do d_instantiate/unlock_new_inode combinations safely</title>

commit 1e2e547a93a00ebc21582c06ca3c6cfea2a309ee upstream.

For anything NFS-exported we do _not_ want to unlock new inode
before it has grown an alias; original set of fixes got the
ordering right, but missed the nasty complication in case of
lockdep being enabled - unlock_new_inode() does
	lockdep_annotate_inode_mutex_key(inode)
which can only be done before anyone gets a chance to touch
-&gt;i_mutex.  Unfortunately, flipping the order and doing
unlock_new_inode() before d_instantiate() opens a window when
mkdir can race with open-by-fhandle on a guessed fhandle, leading
to multiple aliases for a directory inode and all the breakage
that follows from that.

	Correct solution: a new primitive (d_instantiate_new())
combining these two in the right order - lockdep annotate, then
d_instantiate(), then the rest of unlock_new_inode().  All
combinations of d_instantiate() with unlock_new_inode() should
be converted to that.
