<content type='text'>
This patch implements the actual support for case-insensitive file name
lookups in ext4, based on the feature bit and the encoding stored in the
superblock.

A filesystem that has the casefold feature set is able to configure
directories with the +F (EXT4_CASEFOLD_FL) attribute, enabling lookups
to succeed in that directory in a case-insensitive fashion, i.e: match
a directory entry even if the name used by userspace is not a byte per
byte match with the disk name, but is an equivalent case-insensitive
version of the Unicode string.  This operation is called a
case-insensitive file name lookup.

The feature is configured as an inode attribute applied to directories
and inherited by its children.  This attribute can only be enabled on
empty directories for filesystems that support the encoding feature,
thus preventing collision of file names that only differ by case.

* dcache handling:

For a +F directory, Ext4 only stores the first equivalent name dentry
used in the dcache. This is done to prevent unintentional duplication of
dentries in the dcache, while also allowing the VFS code to quickly find
the right entry in the cache despite which equivalent string was used in
a previous lookup, without having to resort to -&gt;lookup().

d_hash() of casefolded directories is implemented as the hash of the
casefolded string, such that we always have a well-known bucket for all
the equivalencies of the same string. d_compare() uses the
utf8_strncasecmp() infrastructure, which handles the comparison of
equivalent, same case, names as well.

For now, negative lookups are not inserted in the dcache, since they
would need to be invalidated anyway, because we can't trust missing file
dentries.  This is bad for performance but requires some leveraging of
the vfs layer to fix.  We can live without that for now, and so does
everyone else.

* on-disk data:

Despite using a specific version of the name as the internal
representation within the dcache, the name stored and fetched from the
disk is a byte-per-byte match with what the user requested, making this
implementation 'name-preserving'. i.e. no actual information is lost
when writing to storage.

DX is supported by modifying the hashes used in +F directories to make
them case/encoding-aware.  The new disk hashes are calculated as the
hash of the full casefolded string, instead of the string directly.
This allows us to efficiently search for file names in the htree without
requiring the user to provide an exact name.

* Dealing with invalid sequences:

By default, when a invalid UTF-8 sequence is identified, ext4 will treat
it as an opaque byte sequence, ignoring the encoding and reverting to
the old behavior for that unique file.  This means that case-insensitive
file name lookup will not work only for that file.  An optional bit can
be set in the superblock telling the filesystem code and userspace tools
to enforce the encoding.  When that optional bit is set, any attempt to
create a file name using an invalid UTF-8 sequence will fail and return
an error to userspace.

* Normalization algorithm:

The UTF-8 algorithms used to compare strings in ext4 is implemented
lives in fs/unicode, and is based on a previous version developed by
SGI.  It implements the Canonical decomposition (NFD) algorithm
described by the Unicode specification 12.1, or higher, combined with
the elimination of ignorable code points (NFDi) and full
case-folding (CF) as documented in fs/unicode/utf8_norm.c.

NFD seems to be the best normalization method for EXT4 because:

  - It has a lower cost than NFC/NFKC (which requires
    decomposing to NFD as an intermediary step)
  - It doesn't eliminate important semantic meaning like
    compatibility decompositions.

Although:

  - This implementation is not completely linguistic accurate, because
  different languages have conflicting rules, which would require the
  specialization of the filesystem to a given locale, which brings all
  sorts of problems for removable media and for users who use more than
  one language.

The ext4_inline_data_fiemap() function calls fiemap_fill_next_extent()
while still holding the xattr semaphore.  This is not necessary and it
triggers a circular lockdep warning.  This is because
fiemap_fill_next_extent() could trigger a page fault when it writes
into page which triggers a page fault.  If that page is mmaped from
the inline file in question, this could very well result in a
deadlock.

This problem can be reproduced using generic/519 with a file system
configuration which has the inline_data feature enabled.

A specially crafted file system can trick empty_inline_dir() into
reading past the last valid entry in a inline directory, and then run
into the end of xattr marker. This will trigger a divide by zero
fault.  Fix this by using the size of the inline directory instead of
dir-&gt;i_size.

Also clean up error reporting in __ext4_check_dir_entry so that the
message is clearer and more understandable --- and avoids the division
by zero trap if the size passed in is zero.  (I'm not sure why we
coded it that way in the first place; printing offset % size is
actually more confusing and less useful.)

The inline data code was updating the raw inode directly; this is
problematic since if metadata checksums are enabled,
ext4_mark_inode_dirty() must be called to update the inode's checksum.
In addition, the jbd2 layer requires that get_write_access() be called
before the metadata buffer is modified.  Fix both of these problems.

<content type='text'>
When converting from an inode from storing the data in-line to a data
block, ext4_destroy_inline_data_nolock() was only clearing the on-disk
copy of the i_blocks[] array.  It was not clearing copy of the
i_blocks[] in ext4_inode_info, in i_data[], which is the copy actually
used by ext4_map_blocks().

This didn't matter much if we are using extents, since the extents
header would be invalid and thus the extents could would re-initialize
the extents tree.  But if we are using indirect blocks, the previous
contents of the i_blocks array will be treated as block numbers, with
potentially catastrophic results to the file system integrity and/or
user data.

This gets worse if the file system is using a 1k block size and
s_first_data is zero, but even without this, the file system can get
quite badly corrupted.

This addresses CVE-2018-10881.

s_first_data is zero, but even without this, the file system can get
quite badly corrupted.

This addresses CVE-2018-10881.

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
 "New features this cycle include the ability to relabel mounted
  filesystems, support for fallocated swapfiles, and using FUA for pure
  data O_DSYNC directio writes. With this cycle we begin to integrate
  online filesystem repair and refactor the growfs code in preparation
  for eventual subvolume support, though the road ahead for both
  features is quite long.

  There are also numerous refactorings of the iomap code to remove
  unnecessary log overhead, to disentangle some of the quota code, and
  to prepare for buffer head removal in a future upstream kernel.

  Metadata validation continues to improve, both in the hot path
  veifiers and the online filesystem check code. I anticipate sending a
  second pull request in a few days with more metadata validation
  improvements.

  This series has been run through a full xfstests run over the weekend
  and through a quick xfstests run against this morning's master, with
  no major failures reported.

  Summary:

   - Strengthen inode number and structure validation when allocating
     inodes.

   - Reduce pointless buffer allocations during cache miss

   - Use FUA for pure data O_DSYNC directio writes

   - Various iomap refactorings

   - Strengthen quota metadata verification to avoid unfixable broken
     quota

   - Make AGFL block freeing a deferred operation to avoid blowing out
     transaction reservations when running complex operations

   - Get rid of the log item descriptors to reduce log overhead

   - Fix various reflink bugs where inodes were double-joined to
     transactions

   - Don't issue discards when trimming unwritten extents

   - Refactor incore dquot initialization and retrieval interfaces

   - Fix some locking problmes in the quota scrub code

   - Strengthen btree structure checks in scrub code

   - Rewrite swapfile activation to use iomap and support unwritten
     extents

   - Make scrub exit to userspace sooner when corruptions or
     cross-referencing problems are found

   - Make scrub invoke the data fork scrubber directly on metadata
     inodes

   - Don't do background reclamation of post-eof and cow blocks when the
     fs is suspended

   - Fix secondary superblock buffer lifespan hinting

   - Refactor growfs to use table-dispatched functions instead of long
     stringy functions

   - Move growfs code to libxfs

   - Implement online fs label getting and setting

   - Introduce online filesystem repair (in a very limited capacity)

   - Fix unit conversion problems in the realtime freemap iteration
     functions

   - Various refactorings and cleanups in preparation to remove buffer
     heads in a future release

   - Reimplement the old bmap call with iomap

   - Remove direct buffer head accesses from seek hole/data

   - Various bug fixes"
