[ Upstream commit c2a559bc0e7ed5a715ad6b947025b33cb7c05ea7 ]

Run generic/388 with journal data mode sometimes may trigger the warning
in ext4_invalidatepage. Actually, we should use the matching invalidatepage
in ext4_writepage.

<title>ext4: use non-movable memory for superblock readahead</title>

<id>247b8ae4c92a2fe0c858d88b72fc801351ce632c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d87f639258a6a5980183f11876c884931ad93da2 upstream.

Since commit a8ac900b8163 ("ext4: use non-movable memory for the
superblock") buffers for ext4 superblock were allocated using
the sb_bread_unmovable() helper which allocated buffer heads
out of non-movable memory blocks. It was necessarily to not block
page migrations and do not cause cma allocation failures.

However commit 85c8f176a611 ("ext4: preload block group descriptors")
broke this by introducing pre-reading of the ext4 superblock.
The problem is that __breadahead() is using __getblk() underneath,
which allocates buffer heads out of movable memory.

It resulted in page migration failures I've seen on a machine
with an ext4 partition and a preallocated cma area.

Fix this by introducing sb_breadahead_unmovable() and
__breadahead_gfp() helpers which use non-movable memory for buffer
head allocations and use them for the ext4 superblock readahead.

In preparation for making s_journal_flag_rwsem synchronize
ext4_writepages() with changes to both the EXTENTS and JOURNAL_DATA
flags (rather than just JOURNAL_DATA as it does currently), rename it to
s_writepages_rwsem.

Since only the read is operating as lockless (outside of the

adding READ_ONCE() for the read and WRITE_ONCE() for the write.

Since only the read is operating as lockless (outside of the
"i_data_sem"), load tearing could introduce a logic bug. Fix it by
adding READ_ONCE() for the read and WRITE_ONCE() for the write.

DIR_INDEX has been introduced as a compat ext4 feature. That means that
even kernels / tools that don't understand the feature may modify the
filesystem. This works because for kernels not understanding indexed dir
format, internal htree nodes appear just as empty directory entries.
Index dir aware kernels then check the htree structure is still
consistent before using the data. This all worked reasonably well until
metadata checksums were introduced. The problem is that these
effectively made DIR_INDEX only ro-compatible because internal htree
nodes store checksums in a different place than normal directory blocks.
Thus any modification ignorant to DIR_INDEX (or just clearing
EXT4_INDEX_FL from the inode) will effectively cause checksum mismatch
and trigger kernel errors. So we have to be more careful when dealing
with indexed directories on filesystems with checksumming enabled.

1) We just disallow loading any directory inodes with EXT4_INDEX_FL when
DIR_INDEX is not enabled. This is harsh but it should be very rare (it
means someone disabled DIR_INDEX on existing filesystem and didn't run
e2fsck), e2fsck can fix the problem, and we don't want to answer the
difficult question: "Should we rather corrupt the directory more or
should we ignore that DIR_INDEX feature is not set?"

2) When we find out htree structure is corrupted (but the filesystem and
the directory should in support htrees), we continue just ignoring htree
information for reading but we refuse to add new entries to the
directory to avoid corrupting it more.

<title>ext4: remove redundant S_ISREG() checks from ext4_fallocate()</title>

ext4_fallocate() is only used in the file_operations for regular files.
Also, the VFS only allows fallocate() on regular files and block
devices, but block devices always use blkdev_fallocate().  For both of
these reasons, S_ISREG() is always true in ext4_fallocate().

Therefore the S_ISREG() checks in ext4_zero_range(),
ext4_collapse_range(), ext4_insert_range(), and ext4_punch_hole() are
redundant.  Remove them.
