commit 5012284700775a4e6e3fbe7eac4c543c4874b559 upstream.

Commit 8844618d8aa7: "ext4: only look at the bg_flags field if it is
valid" will complain if block group zero does not have the
EXT4_BG_INODE_ZEROED flag set.  Unfortunately, this is not correct,
since a freshly created file system has this flag cleared.  It gets
almost immediately after the file system is mounted read-write --- but
the following somewhat unlikely sequence will end up triggering a
false positive report of a corrupted file system:

   mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdc
   mount -o ro /dev/vdc /vdc
   mount -o remount,rw /dev/vdc

Instead, when initializing the inode table for block group zero, test
to make sure that itable_unused count is not too large, since that is
the case that will result in some or all of the reserved inodes
getting cleared.

This fixes the failures reported by Eric Whiteney when running
generic/230 and generic/231 in the the nojournal test case.

<title>ext4: check for allocation block validity with block group locked</title>

commit 8d5a803c6a6ce4ec258e31f76059ea5153ba46ef upstream.

With commit 044e6e3d74a3: "ext4: don't update checksum of new
initialized bitmaps" the buffer valid bit will get set without
actually setting up the checksum for the allocation bitmap, since the
checksum will get calculated once we actually allocate an inode or
block.

If we are doing this, then we need to (re-)check the verified bit
after we take the block group lock.  Otherwise, we could race with
another process reading and verifying the bitmap, which would then
complain about the checksum being invalid.

commit 8844618d8aa7a9973e7b527d038a2a589665002c upstream.

The bg_flags field in the block group descripts is only valid if the
uninit_bg or metadata_csum feature is enabled.  We were not
consistently looking at this field; fix this.

Also block group #0 must never have uninitialized allocation bitmaps,
or need to be zeroed, since that's where the root inode, and other
special inodes are set up.  Check for these conditions and mark the
file system as corrupted if they are detected.

This addresses CVE-2018-10876.

commit 7dac4a1726a9c64a517d595c40e95e2d0d135f6f upstream.

An privileged attacker can cause a crash by mounting a crafted ext4
image which triggers a out-of-bounds read in the function
ext4_valid_block_bitmap() in fs/ext4/balloc.c.

This issue has been assigned CVE-2018-1093.

commit 044e6e3d74a3d7103a0c8a9305dfd94d64000660 upstream.

When reading the inode or block allocation bitmap, if the bitmap needs
to be initialized, do not update the checksum in the block group
descriptor.  That's because we're not set up to journal those changes.
Instead, just set the verified bit on the bitmap block, so that it's
not necessary to validate the checksum.

When a block or inode allocation actually happens, at that point the
checksum will be calculated, and update of the bg descriptor block
will be properly journalled.

commit 7827a7f6ebfcb7f388dc47fddd48567a314701ba upstream.

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.

commit c9eb13a9105e2e418f72e46a2b6da3f49e696902 upstream.

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.)

commit 05145bd799e498ce4e3b5145894174ee881f02b0 upstream.

When block group checksum is wrong, we call ext4_error() while holding
group spinlock from ext4_init_block_bitmap() or
ext4_init_inode_bitmap() which results in scheduling while in atomic.
Fix the issue by calling ext4_error() later after dropping the spinlock.

Make the bitmap reaading routines return real error codes (EIO,
EFSCORRUPTED, EFSBADCRC) which can then be reflected back to
userspace for more precise diagnosis work.

In particular, this means that mballoc no longer claims that we're out
of memory if the block bitmaps become corrupt.
