<content type='text'>
Commit 503358ae01b70ce6909d19dd01287093f6b6271c ("ext4: avoid divide by
zero when trying to mount a corrupted file system") fixes CVE-2009-4307
by performing a sanity check on s_log_groups_per_flex, since it can be
set to a bogus value by an attacker.

	sbi-&gt;s_log_groups_per_flex = sbi-&gt;s_es-&gt;s_log_groups_per_flex;
	groups_per_flex = 1 &lt;&lt; sbi-&gt;s_log_groups_per_flex;

	if (groups_per_flex &lt; 2) { ... }

This patch fixes two potential issues in the previous commit.

1) The sanity check might only work on architectures like PowerPC.
On x86, 5 bits are used for the shifting amount.  That means, given a
large s_log_groups_per_flex value like 36, groups_per_flex = 1 &lt;&lt; 36
is essentially 1 &lt;&lt; 4 = 16, rather than 0.  This will bypass the check,
leaving s_log_groups_per_flex and groups_per_flex inconsistent.

2) The sanity check relies on undefined behavior, i.e., oversized shift.
A standard-confirming C compiler could rewrite the check in unexpected
ways.  Consider the following equivalent form, assuming groups_per_flex
is unsigned for simplicity.

	groups_per_flex = 1 &lt;&lt; sbi-&gt;s_log_groups_per_flex;
	if (groups_per_flex == 0 || groups_per_flex == 1) {

We compile the code snippet using Clang 3.0 and GCC 4.6.  Clang will
completely optimize away the check groups_per_flex == 0, leaving the
patched code as vulnerable as the original.  GCC keeps the check, but
there is no guarantee that future versions will do the same.

a) leaking root dentry is bad
b) in case of failed ext4_mb_init() we don't want to do ext4_mb_release()
c) OTOH, in the same case we *do* want ext4_ext_release()

Delete any instances of include module.h that were not strictly
required.  In the case of ext2, the declaration of MODULE_LICENSE
etc. were in inode.c but the module_init/exit were in super.c, so
relocate the MODULE_LICENCE/AUTHOR block to super.c which makes it
consistent with ext3 and ext4 at the same time.

The EXT{3,4}_IOC_SETVERSION ioctl() updates i_ctime and i_generation
without i_mutex. This can lead to a race with the other operations that
update i_ctime. This is not a big issue but let's make the ioctl consistent
with how we handle e.g. other timestamp updates and use i_mutex to protect
inode changes.

<title>ext[34]: avoid i_nlink warnings triggered by drop_nlink/inc_nlink kludge in symlink()</title>

Both ext3 and ext4 put the half-created symlink inode into the orphan list
for a while (see the comment in ext[34]_symlink() for gory details).  Then,
if everything went fine, they pull it out of the orphan list and bump the
link count back to 1.  The thing is, inc_nlink() is going to complain about
seeing somebody changing i_nlink from 0 to 1.  With a good reason, since
normally something like that is a bug.  Explicit set_nlink(inode, 1) does
the same thing as inc_nlink() here, but it does *not* complain - exactly
because it should be usable in strange situations like this one.
