commit c9e716eb9b3455a83ed7c5f5a81256a3da779a95 upstream.

Don't update the superblock s_rev_level during mount if it isn't
actually necessary, only if superblock features are being set by
the kernel.  This was originally added for ext3 since it always
set the INCOMPAT_RECOVER and HAS_JOURNAL features during mount,
but this is not needed since no journal mode was added to ext4.

That will allow Geert to mount his 20-year-old ext2 rev 0.0 m68k
filesystem, as a testament of the backward compatibility of ext4.

commit 2c1d0e3631e5732dba98ef49ac0bec1388776793 upstream.

Handling of aborted journal is a special code path different from
standard ext4_error() one and it can call panic() as well. Commit
1dc1097ff60e ("ext4: avoid panic during forced reboot") forgot to update
this path so fix that omission.

commit 50b29d8f033a7c88c5bc011abc2068b1691ab755 upstream.

Instead of removing EXT4_MOUNT_JOURNAL_CHECKSUM from s_def_mount_opt as
I assume was intended, all other options were blown away leading to
_ext4_show_options() output being incorrect.

commit 7bc04c5c2cc467c5b40f2b03ba08da174a0d5fa7 upstream.

When remounting with debug_want_extra_isize, we were not performing the
same checks that we do during a normal mount.  That allowed us to set a
value for s_want_extra_isize that reached outside the s_inode_size.

[ Upstream commit 1dc1097ff60e4105216da7cd0aa99032b039a994 ]

When admin calls "reboot -f" - i.e., does a hard system reboot by
directly calling reboot(2) - ext4 filesystem mounted with errors=panic
can panic the system. This happens because the underlying device gets
disabled without unmounting the filesystem and thus some syscall running
in parallel to reboot(2) can result in the filesystem getting IO errors.

This is somewhat surprising to the users so try improve the behavior by
switching to errors=remount-ro behavior when the system is running
reboot(2).

<title>ext4: avoid kernel warning when writing the superblock to a dead device</title>

The xfstests generic/475 test switches the underlying device with
dm-error while running a stress test.  This results in a large number
of file system errors, and since we can't lock the buffer head when
marking the superblock dirty in the ext4_grp_locked_error() case, it's
possible the superblock to be !buffer_uptodate() without
buffer_write_io_error() being true.

We need to set buffer_uptodate() before we call mark_buffer_dirty() or
this will trigger a WARN_ON.  It's safe to do this since the
superblock must have been properly read into memory or the mount would
have been successful.  So if buffer_uptodate() is not set, we can
safely assume that this happened due to a failed attempt to write the
superblock.

<title>ext4: force inode writes when nfsd calls commit_metadata()</title>

<id>fde872682e175743e0c3ef939c89e3c6008a1529</id>
<content type='text'>
Some time back, nfsd switched from calling vfs_fsync() to using a new
commit_metadata() hook in export_operations().  If the file system did
not provide a commit_metadata() hook, it fell back to using
sync_inode_metadata().  Unfortunately doesn't work on all file
systems.  In particular, it doesn't work on ext4 due to how the inode
gets journalled --- the VFS writeback code will not always call
ext4_write_inode().

So we need to provide our own ext4_nfs_commit_metdata() method which
calls ext4_write_inode() directly.

<title>ext4: avoid declaring fs inconsistent due to invalid file handles</title>

If we receive a file handle, either from NFS or open_by_handle_at(2),
and it points at an inode which has not been initialized, and the file
system has metadata checksums enabled, we shouldn't try to get the
inode, discover the checksum is invalid, and then declare the file
system as being inconsistent.

This can be reproduced by creating a test file system via "mke2fs -t
ext4 -O metadata_csum /tmp/foo.img 8M", mounting it, cd'ing into that
directory, and then running the following program.

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;

struct handle {
	struct file_handle fh;
	unsigned char fid[MAX_HANDLE_SZ];
};

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	struct handle h = {{8, 1 }, { 12, }};

	open_by_handle_at(AT_FDCWD, &amp;h.fh, O_RDONLY);
	return 0;
