commit f5361da1e60d54ec81346aee8e3d8baf1be0b762 upstream.

If the boot loader inode has never been used before, the
EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT inode will initialize it, including setting the
i_size to 0.  However, if the "never before used" boot loader has a
non-zero i_size, then i_disksize will be non-zero, and the
inconsistency between i_size and i_disksize can trigger a kernel
warning:

 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2580 at fs/ext4/file.c:319
 CPU: 0 PID: 2580 Comm: bb Not tainted 6.3.0-rc1-00004-g703695902cfa

Reproducer:
 1. create corrupted image and mount it:
       mke2fs -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 200
       debugfs -wR "sif &lt;5&gt; size 25700" /tmp/foo.img
       mount -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img /mnt
       cd /mnt
       echo 123 &gt; file
 2. Run the reproducer program:
       posix_memalign(&amp;buf, 1024, 1024)
       fd = open("file", O_RDWR | O_DIRECT);
       ioctl(fd, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT);
       write(fd, buf, 1024);

Fix this by setting i_disksize as well as i_size to zero when
initiaizing the boot loader inode.

Make sure we initialize quotas before possibly expanding inode space
(and thus maybe needing to allocate external xattr block) in
ext4_ioctl_setproject(). This prevents not accounting the necessary
block allocation.

<title>ext4: don't fail GETFSUUID when the caller provides a long buffer</title>

If userspace provides a longer UUID buffer than is required, we
shouldn't fail the call with EINVAL -- rather, we can fill the caller's
buffer with the bytes we /can/ fill, and update the length field to
reflect what we copied.  This doesn't break the UAPI since we're
enabling a case that currently fails, and so far Ted hasn't released a
version of e2fsprogs that uses the new ext4 ioctl.

If userspace calls this ioctl with fsu_length (the length of the
fsuuid.fsu_uuid array) set to zero, ext4 copies the desired uuid length
out to userspace.  The kernel call returned a result from a valid input,
so the return value here should be zero, not EINVAL.

While we're at it, fix the copy_to_user call to make it clear that we're
only copying out fsu_len.

In the above issue, ioctl invokes the swap_inode_boot_loader function to
swap inode&lt;5&gt; and inode&lt;12&gt;. However, inode&lt;5&gt; contain incorrect imode and
disordered extents, and i_nlink is set to 1. The extents check for inode in
the ext4_iget function can be bypassed bacause 5 is EXT4_BOOT_LOADER_INO.
While links_count is set to 1, the extents are not initialized in
swap_inode_boot_loader. After the ioctl command is executed successfully,
the extents are swapped to inode&lt;12&gt;, in this case, run the `cat` command
to view inode&lt;12&gt;. And Bug_ON is triggered due to the incorrect extents.

When the boot loader inode is not initialized, its imode can be one of the
following:
1) the imode is a bad type, which is marked as bad_inode in ext4_iget and
   set to S_IFREG.
2) the imode is good type but not S_IFREG.
3) the imode is S_IFREG.

The BUG_ON may be triggered by bypassing the check in cases 1 and 2.
Therefore, when the boot loader inode is bad_inode or its imode is not
S_IFREG, initialize the inode to avoid triggering the BUG.

There are many places that will get unhappy (and crash) when ext4_iget()
returns a bad inode. However, if iget the boot loader inode, allows a bad
inode to be returned, because the inode may not be initialized. This
mechanism can be used to bypass some checks and cause panic. To solve this
problem, we add a special iget flag EXT4_IGET_BAD. Only with this flag
we'd be returning bad inode from ext4_iget(), otherwise we always return
the error code if the inode is bad inode.(suggested by Jan Kara)

 "Fix a number of bugs, including some regressions, the most serious of
  which was one which would cause online resizes to fail with file
  systems with metadata checksums enabled.

  Also fix a warning caused by the newly added fortify string checker,
  plus some bugs that were found using fuzzed file systems"

<title>ext4: update the backup superblock's at the end of the online resize</title>

<content type='text'>
When expanding a file system using online resize, various fields in
the superblock (e.g., s_blocks_count, s_inodes_count, etc.) change.
To update the backup superblocks, the online resize uses the function
update_backups() in fs/ext4/resize.c.  This function was not updating
the checksum field in the backup superblocks.  This wasn't a big deal
previously, because e2fsck didn't care about the checksum field in the
backup superblock.  (And indeed, update_backups() goes all the way
back to the ext3 days, well before we had support for metadata
checksums.)

However, there is an alternate, more general way of updating
superblock fields, ext4_update_primary_sb() in fs/ext4/ioctl.c.  This
function does check the checksum of the backup superblock, and if it
doesn't match will mark the file system as corrupted.  That was
clearly not the intent, so avoid to aborting the resize when a bad
superblock is found.

In addition, teach update_backups() to properly update the checksum in
the backup superblocks.  We will eventually want to unify
updapte_backups() with the infrasture in ext4_update_primary_sb(), but
that's for another day.

Note: The problem has been around for a while; it just didn't really
matter until ext4_update_primary_sb() was added by commit bbc605cdb1e1
("ext4: implement support for get/set fs label").  And it became
trivially easy to reproduce after commit 827891a38acc ("ext4: update
the s_overhead_clusters in the backup sb's when resizing") in v6.0.

<title>treewide: use get_random_u32() when possible</title>

The prandom_u32() function has been a deprecated inline wrapper around
get_random_u32() for several releases now, and compiles down to the
exact same code. Replace the deprecated wrapper with a direct call to
the real function. The same also applies to get_random_int(), which is
just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). This was done as a basic find
and replace.
