commit acd6ad83517639e8f09a8c5525b1dccd81cd2a10 upstream.

When insert_inode_locked() fails in ext4_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 jumping to fail: (instead of fail_drop:)
which declares filesystem error and does not call unlock_new_inode().

<title>ext4: Use bitops to read/modify i_flags in struct ext4_inode_info</title>

commit 12e9b892002d9af057655d35b44db8ee9243b0dc upstream.

At several places we modify EXT4_I(inode)-&gt;i_flags without holding
i_mutex (ext4_do_update_inode, ...). These modifications are racy and
we can lose updates to i_flags. So convert handling of i_flags to use
bitops which are atomic.

commit d17413c08cd2b1dd2bf2cfdbb0f7b736b2b2b15c upstream.

- Reorganize locking scheme to batch two atomic operation in to one.
  This also allow us to state what healthy group must obey following rule
  ext4_free_inodes_count(sb, gdp) == ext4_count_free(inode_bitmap, NUM);
- Fix possible undefined pointer dereference.
- Even if group descriptor stats aren't accessible we have to update
  inode bitmaps.
- Move non-group members update out of group_lock.

When used_dirs was introduced for the flex_groups struct, it looks
like the accounting was not put into place properly, in some places
manipulating free_inodes rather than used_dirs.

Get rid of the initialize dquot operation - it is now always called from
the filesystem and if a filesystem really needs it's own (which none
currently does) it can just call into it's own routine directly.

Rename the now static low-level dquot_initialize helper to __dquot_initialize
and vfs_dq_init to dquot_initialize to have a consistent namespace.

Also get rid of the vfs_dq_alloc/vfs_dq_free wrappers and always

directly, which now lose the number argument which is always 1.

Calls to ext4_handle_dirty_metadata should only pass in an inode
pointer for inode-specific metadata, and not for shared metadata
blocks such as inode table blocks, block group descriptors, the
superblock, etc.

The BUG_ON can get tripped when updating a special device (such as a
block device) that is opened (so that i_mapping is set in
fs/block_dev.c) and the file system is mounted in no journal mode.

<title>ext4: move __func__ into a macro for ext4_warning, ext4_error</title>

Just a pet peeve of mine; we had a mishash of calls with either __func__
or "function_name" and the latter tends to get out of sync.

I think it's easier to just hide the __func__ in a macro, and it'll
be consistent from then on.
