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.

commit 280227a75b56ab5d35854f3a77ef74a7ad56a203 upstream.

fallocate() checks that the file is extent-based and returns
EOPNOTSUPP in case is not. Other tasks can convert from and to
indirect and extent so it's safe to check only after grabbing
the inode mutex.

<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 c9b92530a723ac5ef8e352885a1862b18f31b2f5 upstream.

Instead of checking whether the handle is valid, we check if journal
is enabled. This avoids taking the s_orphan_lock mutex in all cases
when there is no journal in use, including the error paths where
ext4_orphan_del() is called with a handle set to NULL.

commit 6050d47adcadbb53582434d919ed7f038d936712 upstream.

When ext4_handle_dirty_dx_node() or ext4_handle_dirty_dirent_node()
fail, there's really something wrong with the fs and there's no point in
continuing further. Just return error from make_indexed_dir() in that
case. Also initialize frames array so that if we return early due to
error, dx_release() doesn't try to dereference uninitialized memory
(which could happen also due to error in do_split()).

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.

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.

commit f4bb2981024fc91b23b4d09a8817c415396dbabb upstream.

If there is a corrupted file system which has directory entries that
point at reserved, metadata inodes, prohibit them from being used by
treating them the same way we treat Boot Loader inodes --- that is,
mark them to be bad inodes.  This prohibits them from being opened,
deleted, or modified via chmod, chown, utimes, etc.

In particular, this prevents a corrupted file system which has a
directory entry which points at the journal inode from being deleted
and its blocks released, after which point Much Hilarity Ensues.
