commit a4dad1ae24f850410c4e60f22823cba1289b8d52 upstream.

In ext4, the bottom two bits of {a,c,m}time_extra are used to extend
the {a,c,m}time fields, deferring the year 2038 problem to the year
2446.

When decoding these extended fields, for times whose bottom 32 bits
would represent a negative number, sign extension causes the 64-bit
extended timestamp to be negative as well, which is not what's
intended.  This patch corrects that issue, so that the only negative
{a,c,m}times are those between 1901 and 1970 (as per 32-bit signed
timestamps).

Some older kernels might have written pre-1970 dates with 1,1 in the
extra bits.  This patch treats those incorrectly-encoded dates as
pre-1970, instead of post-2311, until kernel 4.20 is released.
Hopefully by then e2fsck will have fixed up the bad data.

Also add a comment explaining the encoding of ext4's extra {a,c,m}time
bits.

<title>ext4: add ext4_get_block_dax()</title>

DAX wants different semantics from any currently-existing ext4 get_block
callback.  Unlike ext4_get_block_write(), it needs to honour the
'create' flag, and unlike ext4_get_block(), it needs to be able to
return unwritten extents.  So introduce a new ext4_get_block_dax() which
has those semantics.

We could also change ext4_get_block_write() to honour the 'create' flag,
but that might have consequences on other users that I do not currently
understand.

<title>ext4: replace ext4_io_submit-&gt;io_op with -&gt;io_wbc</title>

ext4_io_submit_init() takes the pointer to writeback_control to test
its sync_mode and determine between WRITE and WRITE_SYNC and records
the result in -&gt;io_op.  This patch makes it record the pointer
directly and moves the test to ext4_io_submit().

This doesn't cause any noticeable differences now but having
writeback_control available throughout IO submission path will be
depended upon by the planned cgroup writeback support.

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "A very large number of cleanups and bug fixes --- in particular for
  the ext4 encryption patches, which is a new feature added in the last
  merge window.  Also fix a number of long-standing xfstest failures.
  (Quota writes failing due to ENOSPC, a race between truncate and
  writepage in data=journalled mode that was causing generic/068 to
  fail, and other corner cases.)

  Also add support for FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, and improve jbd2
  performance eliminating locking when a buffer is modified more than
  once during a transaction (which is very common for allocation
  bitmaps, for example), in which case the state of the journalled
  buffer head doesn't need to change"

[ I renamed "ext4_follow_link()" to "ext4_encrypted_follow_link()" in
  the merge resolution, to make it clear that that function is _only_
  used for encrypted symlinks.  The function doesn't actually work for
  non-encrypted symlinks at all, and they use the generic helpers

 "In this pile: pathname resolution rewrite.

   - recursion in link_path_walk() is gone.

   - nesting limits on symlinks are gone (the only limit remaining is
     that the total amount of symlinks is no more than 40, no matter how
     nested).

   - "fast" (inline) symlinks are handled without leaving rcuwalk mode.

   - stack footprint (independent of the nesting) is below kilobyte now,
     about on par with what it used to be with one level of nested
     symlinks and ~2.8 times lower than it used to be in the worst case.

   - struct nameidata is entirely private to fs/namei.c now (not even
     opaque pointers are being passed around).

   - -&gt;follow_link() and -&gt;put_link() calling conventions had been
     changed; all in-tree filesystems converted, out-of-tree should be
     able to follow reasonably easily.

     For out-of-tree conversions, see Documentation/filesystems/porting
     for details (and in-tree filesystems for examples of conversion).

  That has sat in -next since mid-May, seems to survive all testing

Several ext4_warning() messages in the directory handling code do not
report the inode number of the (potentially corrupt) directory where a
problem is seen, and others report this in an ad-hoc manner.  Add an
ext4_warning_inode() helper to print the inode number and command name
consistent with ext4_error_inode().

Consolidate the place in ext4.h that these macros are defined.

Clean up some other directory error and warning messages to print the
calling function name.

Minor code style fixes in nearby lines.

This patch implements fallocate's FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE for Ext4.

1) Make sure that both offset and len are block size aligned.
2) Update the i_size of inode by len bytes.
3) Compute the file's logical block number against offset. If the computed
   block number is not the starting block of the extent, split the extent
   such that the block number is the starting block of the extent.
4) Shift all the extents which are lying between [offset, last allocated extent]
   towards right by len bytes. This step will make a hole of len bytes
   at offset.

Factor out calls to ext4_inherit_context() and move them to
__ext4_new_inode(); this fixes a problem where ext4_tmpfile() wasn't
calling calling ext4_inherit_context(), so the temporary file wasn't
getting protected.  Since the blocks for the tmpfile could end up on
disk, they really should be protected if the tmpfile is created within
the context of an encrypted directory.

As suggested by Herbert Xu, we shouldn't allocate a new tfm each time
we read or write a page.  Instead we can use a single tfm hanging off
the inode's crypt_info structure for all of our encryption needs for
that inode, since the tfm can be used by multiple crypto requests in
parallel.

Also use cmpxchg() to avoid races that could result in crypt_info
structure getting doubly allocated or doubly freed.
