commit 2f974865ffdfe7b9f46a9940836c8b167342563d upstream.

The following commit introduced a bug when checking for zero length extent

5946d08 ext4: check for overlapping extents in ext4_valid_extent_entries()

Zero length extent could pass the check if lblock is zero.

Adding the explicit check for zero length back.

<title>ext4: fix data corruption caused by unwritten and delayed extents</title>

commit d2dc317d564a46dfc683978a2e5a4f91434e9711 upstream.

Currently it is possible to lose whole file system block worth of data
when we hit the specific interaction with unwritten and delayed extents
in status extent tree.

The problem is that when we insert delayed extent into extent status
tree the only way to get rid of it is when we write out delayed buffer.
However there is a limitation in the extent status tree implementation
so that when inserting unwritten extent should there be even a single
delayed block the whole unwritten extent would be marked as delayed.

At this point, there is no way to get rid of the delayed extents,
because there are no delayed buffers to write out. So when a we write
into said unwritten extent we will convert it to written, but it still
remains delayed.

When we try to write into that block later ext4_da_map_blocks() will set
the buffer new and delayed and map it to invalid block which causes
the rest of the block to be zeroed loosing already written data.

For now we can fix this by simply not allowing to set delayed status on
written extent in the extent status tree. Also add WARN_ON() to make
sure that we notice if this happens in the future.

This problem can be easily reproduced by running the following xfs_io.

xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 4096 2048" \
          -c "falloc 0 131072" \
          -c "pwrite -S 0xbb 65536 2048" \
          -c "fsync" /mnt/test/fff

echo 3 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xdd 67584 2048" /mnt/test/fff

This can be theoretically also reproduced by at random by running fsx,
but it's not very reliable, though on machines with bigger page size
(like ppc) this can be seen more often (especially xfstest generic/127)

<title>ext4: make fsync to sync parent dir in no-journal for real this time</title>

commit e12fb97222fc41e8442896934f76d39ef99b590a upstream.

Previously commit 14ece1028b3ed53ffec1b1213ffc6acaf79ad77c added a
support for for syncing parent directory of newly created inodes to
make sure that the inode is not lost after a power failure in
no-journal mode.

However this does not work in majority of cases, namely:
 - if the directory has inline data
 - if the directory is already indexed
 - if the directory already has at least one block and:
	- the new entry fits into it
	- or we've successfully converted it to indexed

So in those cases we might lose the inode entirely even after fsync in
the no-journal mode. This also includes ext2 default mode obviously.

I've noticed this while running xfstest generic/321 and even though the
test should fail (we need to run fsck after a crash in no-journal mode)
I could not find a newly created entries even when if it was fsynced
before.

Fix this by adjusting the ext4_add_entry() successful exit paths to set
the inode EXT4_STATE_NEWENTRY so that fsync has the chance to fsync the
parent directory as well.

commit 7d7345322d60edb0fa49a64a89b31360f01d09cb upstream.

reaim workfile.dbase test easily triggers warning in
ext4_da_update_reserve_space():

EXT4-fs warning (device ram0): ext4_da_update_reserve_space:365:
ino 12, allocated 1 with only 0 reserved metadata blocks (releasing 1
blocks with reserved 9 data blocks)

The problem is that (one of) tests creates file and then randomly writes
to it with O_SYNC. That results in writing back pages of the file in
random order so we create extents for written blocks say 0, 2, 4, 6, 8
- this last allocation also allocates new block for extents. Then we
writeout block 1 so we have extents 0-2, 4, 6, 8 and we release
indirect extent block because extents fit in the inode again. Then we
writeout block 10 and we need to allocate indirect extent block again
which triggers the warning because we don't have the reservation
anymore.

Fix the problem by giving back freed metadata blocks resulting from
extent merging into inode's reservation pool.

commit 599a9b77ab289d85c2d5c8607624efbe1f552b0f upstream.

When we fail to load block bitmap in __ext4_new_inode() we will
dereference NULL pointer in ext4_journal_get_write_access(). So check
for error from ext4_read_block_bitmap().

commit 9378c6768e4fca48971e7b6a9075bc006eda981d upstream.

When there are no meta block groups update_backups() will compute the
backup block in 32-bit arithmetics thus possibly overflowing the block
number and corrupting the filesystem. OTOH filesystems without meta
block groups larger than 16 TB should be rare. Fix the problem by doing
the counting in 64-bit arithmetics.

<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.)

<title>ext4: fix reservation overflow in ext4_da_write_begin</title>

commit 0ff8947fc5f700172b37cbca811a38eb9cb81e08 upstream.

Delalloc write journal reservations only reserve 1 credit,
to update the inode if necessary.  However, it may happen
once in a filesystem's lifetime that a file will cross
the 2G threshold, and require the LARGE_FILE feature to
be set in the superblock as well, if it was not set already.

This overruns the transaction reservation, and can be
demonstrated simply on any ext4 filesystem without the LARGE_FILE
feature already set:

dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1 seek=2147483646 count=1 \
	conv=notrunc of=testfile
sync
dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1 seek=2147483647 count=1 \
	conv=notrunc of=testfile

leads to:

EXT4-fs: ext4_do_update_inode:4296: aborting transaction: error 28 in __ext4_handle_dirty_super
EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_do_update_inode:4301: error 28
EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_reserve_inode_write:4757: Readonly filesystem
EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_dirty_inode:4876: error 28
EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_da_write_end:2685: error 28

Adjust the number of credits based on whether the flag is
already set, and whether the current write may extend past the
LARGE_FILE limit.
