Syzbot has found an uninit-value bug in ext4_inlinedir_to_tree

This error happens because ext4_inlinedir_to_tree does not
handle the case when ext4fs_dirhash returns an error

This can be avoided by checking the return value of ext4fs_dirhash
and propagating the error,
similar to how it's done with ext4_htree_store_dirent

<title>mm: add folio_zero_tail() and use it in ext4</title>

<id>a4fc4a0c45f2617c3aa8b693739de264e0c09909</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()".

I'm trying to make it easier for filesystems with tailpacking / stuffing /
inline data to use folios.  The primary function here is
folio_fill_tail().  You give it a pointer to memory where the data
currently is, and it takes care of copying it into the folio at that
offset.  That works for gfs2 &amp; iomap.  Then There's Ext4.  Rather than gin
up some kind of specialist "Here's a two pointers to two blocks of memory"
routine, just let it do its current thing, and let it call
folio_zero_tail(), which is also called by folio_fill_tail().

Other filesystems can be converted later; these ones seemed like good
examples as they're already partly or completely converted to folios.


This patch (of 3):

Instead of unmapping the folio after copying the data to it, then mapping
it again to zero the tail, provide folio_zero_tail() to zero the tail of
an already-mapped folio.

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.

ext4_write_inline_data_end() is completely converted to work with folio.
Also all callers of ext4_write_inline_data_end() already works on folio
except ext4_da_write_end(). Mostly for consistency and saving few
instructions maybe, this patch just converts ext4_da_write_end() to work
with folio which makes the last caller of ext4_write_inline_data_end()
also converted to work with folio.
We then make ext4_write_inline_data_end() take folio instead of page.

Added support for writeback of journalled data into ext4_writepages()
and killed function __ext4_journalled_writepage() which used to call
ext4_journalled_write_inline_data() for inline data.
This function got left over by mistake. Hence kill it's definition as
no one uses it.
