ext4: sanity check the block and cluster size at mount time

2016-11-24T15:23:55+00:00

commit 8cdf3372fe8368f56315e66bea9f35053c418093 upstream.

If the block size or cluster size is insane, reject the mount.  This
is important for security reasons (although we shouldn't be just
depending on this check).

ext4: allow DAX writeback for hole punch

2016-10-25T16:11:19+00:00

commit cca32b7eeb4ea24fa6596650e06279ad9130af98 upstream.

Currently when doing a DAX hole punch with ext4 we fail to do a writeback.
This is because the logic around filemap_write_and_wait_range() in
ext4_punch_hole() only looks for dirty page cache pages in the radix tree,
not for dirty DAX exceptional entries.

ext4: reinforce check of i_dtime when clearing high fields of uid and gid

2016-10-25T16:11:19+00:00

commit 93e3b4e6631d2a74a8cf7429138096862ff9f452 upstream.

Now, ext4_do_update_inode() clears high 16-bit fields of uid/gid
of deleted and evicted inode to fix up interoperability with old
kernels. However, it checks only i_dtime of an inode to determine
whether the inode was deleted and evicted, and this is very risky,
because i_dtime can be used for the pointer maintaining orphan inode
list, too. We need to further check whether the i_dtime is being
used for the orphan inode list even if the i_dtime is not NULL.

We found that high 16-bit fields of uid/gid of inode are unintentionally
and permanently cleared when the inode truncation is just triggered,
but not finished, and the inode metadata, whose high uid/gid bits are
cleared, is written on disk, and the sudden power-off follows that
in order.

ext4: use __GFP_NOFAIL in ext4_free_blocks()

2016-09-29T09:14:07+00:00

commit adb7ef600cc9d9d15ecc934cc26af5c1379777df upstream.

This might be unexpected but pages allocated for sbi->s_buddy_cache are
charged to current memory cgroup. So, GFP_NOFS allocation could fail if
current task has been killed by OOM or if current memory cgroup has no
free memory left. Block allocator cannot handle such failures here yet.

ext4: avoid modifying checksum fields directly during checksum verification

2016-09-29T09:14:06+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

2016-09-29T09:14:05+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: fix reference counting bug on block allocation error

2016-08-19T07:51:10+00:00

commit 554a5ccc4e4a20c5f3ec859de0842db4b4b9c77e upstream.

If we hit this error when mounted with errors=continue or
errors=remount-ro:

    EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used:2940: comm ext4.exe: Allocating blocks 5090-6081 which overlap fs metadata

then ext4_mb_new_blocks() will call ext4_mb_release_context() and try to
continue. However, ext4_mb_release_context() is the wrong thing to call
here since we are still actually using the allocation context.

Instead, just error out. We could retry the allocation, but there is a
possibility of getting stuck in an infinite loop instead, so this seems
safer.

[ Fixed up so we don't return EAGAIN to userspace. --tytso ]

ext4: short-cut orphan cleanup on error

2016-08-19T07:51:10+00:00

commit c65d5c6c81a1f27dec5f627f67840726fcd146de upstream.

If we encounter a filesystem error during orphan cleanup, we should stop.

processed again and again.

ext4: don't call ext4_should_journal_data() on the journal inode

2016-08-19T07:51:10+00:00

commit 6a7fd522a7c94cdef0a3b08acf8e6702056e635c upstream.

If ext4_fill_super() fails early, it's possible for ext4_evict_inode()
to call ext4_should_journal_data() before superblock options and flags
are fully set up.  In that case, the iput() on the journal inode can
end up causing a BUG().

Work around this problem by reordering the tests so we only call
ext4_should_journal_data() after we know it's not the journal inode.

ext4: fix deadlock during page writeback

2016-08-19T07:51:09+00:00

commit 646caa9c8e196880b41cd3e3d33a2ebc752bdb85 upstream.

Commit 06bd3c36a733 (ext4: fix data exposure after a crash) uncovered a
deadlock in ext4_writepages() which was previously much harder to hit.
After this commit xfstest generic/130 reproduces the deadlock on small
filesystems.

The problem happens when ext4_do_update_inode() sets LARGE_FILE feature
and marks current inode handle as synchronous. That subsequently results
in ext4_journal_stop() called from ext4_writepages() to block waiting for
transaction commit while still holding page locks, reference to io_end,
and some prepared bio in mpd structure each of which can possibly block
transaction commit from completing and thus results in deadlock.

Fix the problem by releasing page locks, io_end reference, and
submitting prepared bio before calling ext4_journal_stop().

[ Changed to defer the call to ext4_journal_stop() only if the handle
  is synchronous.  --tytso ]
