commit 3a4b77cd47bb837b8557595ec7425f281f2ca1fe upstream.

Ralf Spenneberg reported that he hit a kernel crash when mounting a
modified ext4 image. And it turns out that kernel crashed when
calculating fs overhead (ext4_calculate_overhead()), this is because
the image has very large s_first_meta_bg (debug code shows it's
842150400), and ext4 overruns the memory in count_overhead() when
setting bitmap buffer, which is PAGE_SIZE.

ext4_calculate_overhead():
  buf = get_zeroed_page(GFP_NOFS);  &lt;=== PAGE_SIZE buffer
  blks = count_overhead(sb, i, buf);

count_overhead():
  for (j = ext4_bg_num_gdb(sb, grp); j &gt; 0; j--) { &lt;=== j = 842150400
          ext4_set_bit(EXT4_B2C(sbi, s++), buf);   &lt;=== buffer overrun
          count++;
  }

This can be reproduced easily for me by this script:

  #!/bin/bash
  rm -f fs.img
  mkdir -p /mnt/ext4
  fallocate -l 16M fs.img
  mke2fs -t ext4 -O bigalloc,meta_bg,^resize_inode -F fs.img
  debugfs -w -R "ssv first_meta_bg 842150400" fs.img
  mount -o loop fs.img /mnt/ext4

Fix it by validating s_first_meta_bg first at mount time, and
refusing to mount if its value exceeds the largest possible meta_bg
number.

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).

commit 4e800c0359d9a53e6bf0ab216954971b2515247f upstream.

Pages clear buffers after ext4 delayed block allocation failed,
However, it does not clean its pte_dirty flag.
if the pages unmap ,in cording to the pte_dirty ,
unmap_page_range may try to call __set_page_dirty,

which may lead to the bugon at
mpage_prepare_extent_to_map:head = page_buffers(page);.

This patch just call clear_page_dirty_for_io to clean pte_dirty
at mpage_release_unused_pages for pages mmaped.

Steps to reproduce the bug:

（1） mmap a file in ext4
	addr = (char *)mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED,
	       	            fd, 0);
	memset(addr, 'i', 4096);

（2） return EIO at

	ext4_writepages-&gt;mpage_map_and_submit_extent-&gt;mpage_map_one_extent

which causes this log message to be print:

                ext4_msg(sb, KERN_CRIT,
                        "Delayed block allocation failed for "
                        "inode %lu at logical offset %llu with"
                        " max blocks %u with error %d",
                        inode-&gt;i_ino,
                        (unsigned long long)map-&gt;m_lblk,
                        (unsigned)map-&gt;m_len, -err);

(3）Unmap the addr cause warning at

	__set_page_dirty:WARN_ON_ONCE(warn &amp;&amp; !PageUptodate(page));

(4) wait for a minute,then bugon happen.

<title>ext4: reinforce check of i_dtime when clearing high fields of uid and gid</title>

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.

commit 31051c85b5e2aaaf6315f74c72a732673632a905 upstream.

inode_change_ok() will be resposible for clearing capabilities and IMA
extended attributes and as such will need dentry. Give it as an argument
to inode_change_ok() instead of an inode. Also rename inode_change_ok()
to setattr_prepare() to better relect that it does also some
modifications in addition to checks.

<title>posix_acl: Clear SGID bit when setting file permissions</title>

commit 073931017b49d9458aa351605b43a7e34598caef upstream.

When file permissions are modified via chmod(2) and the user is not in
the owning group or capable of CAP_FSETID, the setgid bit is cleared in
inode_change_ok().  Setting a POSIX ACL via setxattr(2) sets the file
permissions as well as the new ACL, but doesn't clear the setgid bit in
a similar way; this allows to bypass the check in chmod(2).  Fix that.

commit 31051c85b5e2aaaf6315f74c72a732673632a905 upstream.

inode_change_ok() will be resposible for clearing capabilities and IMA
extended attributes and as such will need dentry. Give it as an argument
to inode_change_ok() instead of an inode. Also rename inode_change_ok()
to setattr_prepare() to better relect that it does also some
modifications in addition to checks.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - Drop changes to orangefs, overlayfs
 - Adjust filenames, context
 - In fuse, pass dentry to fuse_do_setattr()
 - In nfsd, pass dentry to nfsd_sanitize_attrs()
 - In xfs, pass dentry to xfs_setattr_nonsize() and xfs_setattr_size()
 - Update ext3 as well]

<title>ext4: validate that metadata blocks do not overlap superblock</title>

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.
