commit bcdd0c1600903e9222abfcde28947406020ccb5d upstream.

This is an fsfuzzer bug.  -&gt;s_journal is set at the end of
ext3_load_journal() but we try to use it in the error handling from
ext3_get_journal() while it's still NULL.

commit 31051c85b5e2aaaf6315f74c72a732673632a905 upstream.

inode_change_ok() will be resposible for clearing capabilities and IMA
extended attributes and as such will need dentry. Give it as an argument
to inode_change_ok() instead of an inode. Also rename inode_change_ok()
to setattr_prepare() to better relect that it does also some
modifications in addition to checks.

 - Drop changes to f2fs, lustre, orangefs, overlayfs
 - Adjust filenames, context
 - In nfsd, pass dentry to nfsd_sanitize_attrs()
 - In xfs, pass dentry to xfs_change_file_space(), xfs_set_mode(),
   xfs_setattr_nonsize(), and xfs_setattr_size()
 - Update ext3 as well

<title>ext3: Fix fdatasync() for files with only i_size changes</title>

commit 156bddd8e505b295540f3ca0e27dda68cb0d49aa upstream.

Code tracking when transaction needs to be committed on fdatasync(2) forgets
to handle a situation when only inode's i_size is changed. Thus in such
situations fdatasync(2) doesn't force transaction with new i_size to disk
and that can result in wrong i_size after a crash.

Fix the issue by updating inode's i_datasync_tid whenever its size is
updated.

commit 33c104d415e92a51aaf638dc3d93920cfa601e5c upstream.

WARN_ON_ONCE(IS_RDONLY(inode)) tends to trip when filesystem hits error and is
remounted read-only. This unnecessarily scares users (well, they should be
scared because of filesystem error, but the stack trace distracts them from the
right source of their fear ;-). We could as well just remove the WARN_ON but
it's not hard to fix it to not trip on filesystem with errors and not use more
cycles in the common case so that's what we do.

<content type='text'>
Add a new REQ_PRIO to let requests preempt others in the cfq I/O schedule,
and lave REQ_META purely for marking requests as metadata in blktrace.

All existing callers of REQ_META except for XFS are updated to also
set REQ_PRIO for now.

When journalling data for an inode (either because it is a symlink or
because the filesystem is mounted in data=journal mode), ext3_evict_inode()
can discard unwritten data by calling truncate_inode_pages(). This is
because we don't mark the buffer / page dirty when journalling data but only
add the buffer to the running transaction and thus mm does not know there
are still unwritten data.

Fix the problem by carefully tracking transaction containing inode's data,
committing this transaction, and writing uncheckpointed buffers when inode
should be reaped.

Simple filesystems always pass inode-&gt;i_sb_bdev as the block device
argument, and never need a end_io handler.  Let's simply things for
them and for my grepping activity by dropping these arguments.  The
only thing not falling into that scheme is ext4, which passes and
end_io handler without needing special flags (yet), but given how
messy the direct I/O code there is use of __blockdev_direct_IO
in one instead of two out of three cases isn't going to make a large
difference anyway.
