Call helper function ext4_update_inode_fsync_trans() instead of open
coding it in __ext4_new_inode().  This helper checks both that the handle
is valid *and* that it hasn't been aborted due to some fatal error in the
journalling layer, using is_handle_aborted().

We better should not be initializing inode tables on read-only
filesystem. The following transaction start will warn us and make the
function bail anyway so drop the pointless check.

<content type='text'>
Currently ext4_forced_shutdown() takes struct ext4_sb_info but most
callers need to get it from struct super_block anyway. So just pass in
struct super_block to save all callers from some boilerplate code. No
functional changes.

used. Switch to using accessor functions instead of raw accesses of

<title>ext4: allow ext4_get_group_info() to fail</title>

Previously, ext4_get_group_info() would treat an invalid group number
as BUG(), since in theory it should never happen.  However, if a
malicious attaker (or fuzzer) modifies the superblock via the block
device while it is the file system is mounted, it is possible for
s_first_data_block to get set to a very large number.  In that case,
when calculating the block group of some block number (such as the
starting block of a preallocation region), could result in an
underflow and very large block group number.  Then the BUG_ON check in
ext4_get_group_info() would fire, resutling in a denial of service
attack that can be triggered by root or someone with write access to
the block device.

For a quality of implementation perspective, it's best that even if
the system administrator does something that they shouldn't, that it
will not trigger a BUG.  So instead of BUG'ing, ext4_get_group_info()
will call ext4_error and return NULL.  We also add fallback code in
all of the callers of ext4_get_group_info() that it might NULL.

Also, since ext4_get_group_info() was already borderline to be an
inline function, un-inline it.  The results in a next reduction of the
compiled text size of ext4 by roughly 2k.
