commit 829fa70dddadf9dd041d62b82cd7cea63943899d upstream.

A number of fuzzing failures seem to be caused by allocation bitmaps
or other metadata blocks being pointed at the superblock.

This can cause kernel BUG or WARNings once the superblock is
overwritten, so validate the group descriptor blocks to make sure this
doesn't happen.

commit c65d5c6c81a1f27dec5f627f67840726fcd146de upstream.

If we encounter a filesystem error during orphan cleanup, we should stop.
Otherwise, we may end up in an infinite loop where the same inode is
processed again and again.

commit daf647d2dd58cec59570d7698a45b98e580f2076 upstream.

With the internal Quota feature, mke2fs creates empty quota inodes and
quota usage tracking is enabled as soon as the file system is mounted.
Since quotacheck is no longer preallocating all of the blocks in the
quota inode that are likely needed to be written to, we are now seeing
a lockdep false positive caused by needing to allocate a quota block
from inside ext4_map_blocks(), while holding i_data_sem for a data
inode.  This results in this complaint:

  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
   lock(&amp;ei-&gt;i_data_sem);
                                lock(&amp;s-&gt;s_dquot.dqio_mutex);
                                lock(&amp;ei-&gt;i_data_sem);
   lock(&amp;s-&gt;s_dquot.dqio_mutex);

<title>ext4, jbd2: ensure entering into panic after recording an error in superblock</title>

commit 4327ba52afd03fc4b5afa0ee1d774c9c5b0e85c5 upstream.

If a EXT4 filesystem utilizes JBD2 journaling and an error occurs, the
journaling will be aborted first and the error number will be recorded
into JBD2 superblock and, finally, the system will enter into the
panic state in "errors=panic" option.  But, in the rare case, this
sequence is little twisted like the below figure and it will happen
that the system enters into panic state, which means the system reset
in mobile environment, before completion of recording an error in the
journal superblock. In this case, e2fsck cannot recognize that the
filesystem failure occurred in the previous run and the corruption
wouldn't be fixed.

Task A                        Task B
ext4_handle_error()
-&gt; jbd2_journal_abort()
  -&gt; __journal_abort_soft()

commit 89d96a6f8e6491f24fc8f99fd6ae66820e85c6c1 upstream.

Normally all of the buffers will have been forced out to disk before
we call invalidate_bdev(), but there will be some cases, where a file
system operation was aborted due to an ext4_error(), where there may
still be some dirty buffers in the buffer cache for the device.  So
try to force them out to memory before calling invalidate_bdev().

This fixes a warning triggered by generic/081:

<title>ext4: check s_chksum_driver when looking for bg csum presence</title>

commit 813d32f91333e4c33d5a19b67167c4bae42dae75 upstream.

Convert the ext4_has_group_desc_csum predicate to look for a checksum
driver instead of the metadata_csum flag and change the bg checksum
calculation function to look for GDT_CSUM before taking the crc16
path.

Without this patch, if we mount with ^uninit_bg,^metadata_csum and
later metadata_csum gets turned on by accident, the block group
checksum functions will incorrectly assume that checksumming is
enabled (metadata_csum) but that crc16 should be used
(!s_chksum_driver).  This is totally wrong, so fix the predicate
and the checksum formula selection.

(Granted, if the metadata_csum feature bit gets enabled on a live FS
then something underhanded is going on, but we could at least avoid
writing garbage into the on-disk fields.)

commit 9aa5d32ba269bec0e7eaba2697a986a7b0bc8528 upstream.

Besides the fact that this replacement improves code readability
it also protects from errors caused direct EXT4_S(sb)-&gt;s_es manipulation
which may result attempt to use uninitialized  csum machinery.

commit f4bb2981024fc91b23b4d09a8817c415396dbabb upstream.

If there is a corrupted file system which has directory entries that
point at reserved, metadata inodes, prohibit them from being used by
treating them the same way we treat Boot Loader inodes --- that is,
mark them to be bad inodes.  This prohibits them from being opened,
deleted, or modified via chmod, chown, utimes, etc.

In particular, this prevents a corrupted file system which has a
directory entry which points at the journal inode from being deleted
and its blocks released, after which point Much Hilarity Ensues.

<title>ext4: don't check quota format when there are no quota files</title>

commit 279bf6d390933d5353ab298fcc306c391a961469 upstream.

The check whether quota format is set even though there are no
quota files with journalled quota is pointless and it actually
makes it impossible to turn off journalled quotas (as there's
no way to unset journalled quota format). Just remove the check.
