ext4: avoid modifying checksum fields directly during checksum verification

2016-09-15T06:20:26+00:00

commit b47820edd1634dc1208f9212b7ecfb4230610a23 upstream.

We temporally change checksum fields in buffers of some types of
metadata into '0' for verifying the checksum values. By doing this
without locking the buffer, some metadata's checksums, which are
being committed or written back to the storage, could be damaged.
In our test, several metadata blocks were found with damaged metadata
checksum value during recovery process. When we only verify the
checksum value, we have to avoid modifying checksum fields directly.

ext4: validate that metadata blocks do not overlap superblock

2016-09-15T06:20:25+00:00

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.

ext4: short-cut orphan cleanup on error

2016-08-16T07:35:00+00:00

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.

ext4: validate s_reserved_gdt_blocks on mount

2016-08-16T07:35:00+00:00

commit 5b9554dc5bf008ae7f68a52e3d7e76c0920938a2 upstream.

If s_reserved_gdt_blocks is extremely large, it's possible for
ext4_init_block_bitmap(), which is called when ext4 sets up an
uninitialized block bitmap, to corrupt random kernel memory.  Add the
same checks which e2fsck has --- it must never be larger than
blocksize / sizeof(__u32) --- and then add a backup check in
ext4_init_block_bitmap() in case the superblock gets modified after
the file system is mounted.

ext4: Add alignment check for DAX mount

2016-05-17T06:44:11+00:00

When a partition is not aligned by 4KB, mount -o dax succeeds,
but any read/write access to the filesystem fails, except for
metadata update.

Call bdev_dax_supported() to perform proper precondition checks
which includes this partition alignment check.

ext4: fix races between changing inode journal mode and ext4_writepages

2016-04-26T03:22:35+00:00

In ext4, there is a race condition between changing inode journal mode
and ext4_writepages(). While ext4_writepages() is executed on a
non-journalled mode inode, the inode's journal mode could be enabled
by ioctl() and then, some pages dirtied after switching the journal
mode will be still exposed to ext4_writepages() in non-journaled mode.
To resolve this problem, we use fs-wide per-cpu rw semaphore by Jan
Kara's suggestion because we don't want to waste ext4_inode_info's
space for this extra rare case.

Pull ext4 bugfixes from Ted Ts'o:
 "These changes contains a fix for overlayfs interacting with some
  (badly behaved) dentry code in various file systems.  These have been
  reviewed by Al and the respective file system mtinainers and are going
  through the ext4 tree for convenience.

  This also has a few ext4 encryption bug fixes that were discovered in
  Android testing (yes, we will need to get these sync'ed up with the
  fs/crypto code; I'll take care of that).  It also has some bug fixes
  and a change to ignore the legacy quota options to allow for xfstests
  regression testing of ext4's internal quota feature and to be more
  consistent with how xfs handles this case"

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros

2016-04-04T17:41:08+00:00

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 -  << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

 -  >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

ext4: ignore quota mount options if the quota feature is enabled

2016-04-03T21:03:37+00:00

Previously, ext4 would fail the mount if the file system had the quota
feature enabled and quota mount options (used for the older quota
setups) were present.  This broke xfstests, since xfs silently ignores
the usrquote and grpquota mount options if they are specified.  This
commit changes things so that we are consistent with xfs; having the
mount options specified is harmless, so no sense break users by
forbidding them.

ext4: avoid calling dquot_get_next_id() if quota is not enabled

2016-04-01T16:00:03+00:00

This should be fixed in the quota layer so we can test with the quota
mutex held, but for now, we need this to avoid tests from crashing the
kernel aborting the regression test suite.
