[ Upstream commit 7827a7f6ebfcb7f388dc47fddd48567a314701ba ]

Instead of just printing warning messages, if the orphan list is
corrupted, declare the file system is corrupted.  If there are any
reserved inodes in the orphaned inode list, declare the file system
corrupted and stop right away to avoid doing more potential damage to
the file system.

<title>ext4: fix hang when processing corrupted orphaned inode list</title>

[ Upstream commit c9eb13a9105e2e418f72e46a2b6da3f49e696902 ]

If the orphaned inode list contains inode #5, ext4_iget() returns a
bad inode (since the bootloader inode should never be referenced
directly).  Because of the bad inode, we end up processing the inode
repeatedly and this hangs the machine.

This can be reproduced via:

   mke2fs -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 100
   debugfs -w -R "ssv last_orphan 5" /tmp/foo.img
   mount -o loop /tmp/foo.img /mnt

(But don't do this if you are using an unpatched kernel if you care
about the system staying functional.  :-)

This bug was found by the port of American Fuzzy Lop into the kernel
to find file system problems[1].  (Since it *only* happens if inode #5
shows up on the orphan list --- 3, 7, 8, etc. won't do it, it's not
surprising that AFL needed two hours before it found it.)

When we fail to load block bitmap in __ext4_new_inode() we will
dereference NULL pointer in ext4_journal_get_write_access(). So check
for error from ext4_read_block_bitmap().

The first time that we allocate from an uninitialized inode allocation
bitmap, if the block allocation bitmap is also uninitalized, we need
to get write access to the block group descriptor before we start
modifying the block group descriptor flags and updating the free block
count, etc.  Otherwise, there is the potential of a bad journal
checksum (if journal checksums are enabled), and of the file system
becoming inconsistent if we crash at exactly the wrong time.

We should decrement free clusters counter when block bitmap is marked
as corrupt and free inodes counter when the allocation bitmap is
marked as corrupt to avoid misunderstanding due to incorrect available
size in statfs result.  User can get immediately ENOSPC error from
write begin without reaching for the writepages.

Many of the uses of get_random_bytes() do not actually need
cryptographically secure random numbers.  Replace those uses with a
call to prandom_u32(), which is faster and which doesn't consume
entropy from the /dev/random driver.

If the group descriptor fails validation, mark the whole blockgroup
corrupt so that the inode/block allocators skip this group.  The
previous approach takes the risk of writing to a damaged group
descriptor; hopefully it was never the case that the [ib]bitmap fields
pointed to another valid block and got dirtied, since the memset would
fill the page with 1s.
