commit 6ffe77bad545f4a7c8edd2a4ee797ccfcd894ab4 upstream.

In commit bcff24887d00 ("ext4: don't read blocks from disk after extents
being swapped") bh is not updated correctly in the for loop and wrong
data has been written to disk. generic/324 catches this on sub-page
block size ext4.

commit 011278485ecc3cd2a3954b5d4c73101d919bf1fa upstream.

When doing delayed allocation, update of on-disk inode size is postponed
until IO submission time. However hole punch or zero range fallocate
calls can end up discarding the tail page cache page and thus on-disk
inode size would never be properly updated.

Make sure the on-disk inode size is updated before truncating page
cache.

commit 32ebffd3bbb4162da5ff88f9a35dd32d0a28ea70 upstream.

Current code implementing FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and
FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE is prone to races with buffered writes and page
faults. If buffered write or write via mmap manages to squeeze between
filemap_write_and_wait_range() and truncate_pagecache() in the fallocate
implementations, the written data is simply discarded by
truncate_pagecache() although it should have been shifted.

Fix the problem by moving filemap_write_and_wait_range() call inside
i_mutex and i_mmap_sem. That way we are protected against races with
both buffered writes and page faults.

commit 17048e8a083fec7ad841d88ef0812707fbc7e39f upstream.

Currently ext4_alloc_file_blocks() was handling protection against
unlocked DIO. However we now need to sometimes call it under i_mmap_sem
and sometimes not and DIO protection ranks above it (although strictly
speaking this cannot currently create any deadlocks). Also
ext4_zero_range() was actually getting &amp; releasing unlocked DIO
protection twice in some cases. Luckily it didn't introduce any real bug
but it was a land mine waiting to be stepped on.  So move DIO protection
out from ext4_alloc_file_blocks() into the two callsites.

commit ea3d7209ca01da209cda6f0dea8be9cc4b7a933b upstream.

Currently, page faults and hole punching are completely unsynchronized.
This can result in page fault faulting in a page into a range that we
are punching after truncate_pagecache_range() has been called and thus
we can end up with a page mapped to disk blocks that will be shortly
freed. Filesystem corruption will shortly follow. Note that the same
race is avoided for truncate by checking page fault offset against
i_size but there isn't similar mechanism available for punching holes.

Fix the problem by creating new rw semaphore i_mmap_sem in inode and
grab it for writing over truncate, hole punching, and other functions
removing blocks from extent tree and for read over page faults. We
cannot easily use i_data_sem for this since that ranks below transaction
start and we need something ranking above it so that it can be held over
the whole truncate / hole punching operation. Also remove various
workarounds we had in the code to reduce race window when page fault
could have created pages with stale mapping information.

<title>ext4: fix NULL pointer dereference in ext4_mark_inode_dirty()</title>

commit 5e1021f2b6dff1a86a468a1424d59faae2bc63c1 upstream.

ext4_reserve_inode_write() in ext4_mark_inode_dirty() could fail on
error (e.g. EIO) and iloc.bh can be NULL in this case. But the error is
ignored in the following "if" condition and ext4_expand_extra_isize()
might be called with NULL iloc.bh set, which triggers NULL pointer
dereference.

This is uncovered by commit 8b4953e13f4c ("ext4: reserve code points for
the project quota feature"), which enlarges the ext4_inode size, and
run the following script on new kernel but with old mke2fs:

  #/bin/bash
  mnt=/mnt/ext4
  devname=ext4-error
  dev=/dev/mapper/$devname
  fsimg=/home/fs.img

  trap cleanup 0 1 2 3 9 15

  cleanup()
  {
          umount $mnt &gt;/dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1
          dmsetup remove $devname
          losetup -d $backend_dev
          rm -f $fsimg
          exit 0
  }

  rm -f $fsimg
  fallocate -l 1g $fsimg
  backend_dev=`losetup -f --show $fsimg`
  devsize=`blockdev --getsz $backend_dev`

commit c325a67c72903e1cc30e990a15ce745bda0dbfde upstream.

Previously, ext4 would fail the mount if the file system had the quota
feature enabled and quota mount options (used for the older quota
setups) were present.  This broke xfstests, since xfs silently ignores
the usrquote and grpquota mount options if they are specified.  This
commit changes things so that we are consistent with xfs; having the
mount options specified is harmless, so no sense break users by
forbidding them.

commit daf647d2dd58cec59570d7698a45b98e580f2076 upstream.

With the internal Quota feature, mke2fs creates empty quota inodes and
quota usage tracking is enabled as soon as the file system is mounted.
Since quotacheck is no longer preallocating all of the blocks in the
quota inode that are likely needed to be written to, we are now seeing
a lockdep false positive caused by needing to allocate a quota block
from inside ext4_map_blocks(), while holding i_data_sem for a data
inode.  This results in this complaint:

  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
   lock(&amp;ei-&gt;i_data_sem);
                                lock(&amp;s-&gt;s_dquot.dqio_mutex);
                                lock(&amp;ei-&gt;i_data_sem);

commit ed8ad83808f009ade97ebbf6519bc3a97fefbc0c upstream.

ext4 can update bh-&gt;b_state non-atomically in _ext4_get_block() and
ext4_da_get_block_prep(). Usually this is fine since bh is just a
temporary storage for mapping information on stack but in some cases it
can be fully living bh attached to a page. In such case non-atomic
update of bh-&gt;b_state can race with an atomic update which then gets
lost. Usually when we are mapping bh and thus updating bh-&gt;b_state
non-atomically, nobody else touches the bh and so things work out fine
but there is one case to especially worry about: ext4_finish_bio() uses
BH_Uptodate_Lock on the first bh in the page to synchronize handling of
PageWriteback state. So when blocksize &lt; pagesize, we can be atomically
modifying bh-&gt;b_state of a buffer that actually isn't under IO and thus
can race e.g. with delalloc trying to map that buffer. The result is
that we can mistakenly set / clear BH_Uptodate_Lock bit resulting in the
corruption of PageWriteback state or missed unlock of BH_Uptodate_Lock.

Fix the problem by always updating bh-&gt;b_state bits atomically.

commit ed8ad83808f009ade97ebbf6519bc3a97fefbc0c upstream.

ext4 can update bh-&gt;b_state non-atomically in _ext4_get_block() and
ext4_da_get_block_prep(). Usually this is fine since bh is just a
temporary storage for mapping information on stack but in some cases it
can be fully living bh attached to a page. In such case non-atomic
update of bh-&gt;b_state can race with an atomic update which then gets
lost. Usually when we are mapping bh and thus updating bh-&gt;b_state
non-atomically, nobody else touches the bh and so things work out fine
but there is one case to especially worry about: ext4_finish_bio() uses
BH_Uptodate_Lock on the first bh in the page to synchronize handling of
PageWriteback state. So when blocksize &lt; pagesize, we can be atomically
modifying bh-&gt;b_state of a buffer that actually isn't under IO and thus
can race e.g. with delalloc trying to map that buffer. The result is
that we can mistakenly set / clear BH_Uptodate_Lock bit resulting in the
corruption of PageWriteback state or missed unlock of BH_Uptodate_Lock.

<title>ext4: don't read blocks from disk after extents being swapped</title>

commit bcff24887d00bce102e0857d7b0a8c44a40f53d1 upstream.

I notice ext4/307 fails occasionally on ppc64 host, reporting md5
checksum mismatch after moving data from original file to donor file.

The reason is that move_extent_per_page() calls __block_write_begin()
and block_commit_write() to write saved data from original inode blocks
to donor inode blocks, but __block_write_begin() not only maps buffer
heads but also reads block content from disk if the size is not block
size aligned.  At this time the physical block number in mapped buffer
head is pointing to the donor file not the original file, and that
results in reading wrong data to page, which get written to disk in
following block_commit_write call.

This also can be reproduced by the following script on 1k block size ext4
on x86_64 host:

    mnt=/mnt/ext4
    donorfile=$mnt/donor
    testfile=$mnt/testfile
    e4compact=~/xfstests/src/e4compact

    rm -f $donorfile $testfile

    # reserve space for donor file, written by 0xaa and sync to disk to
    # avoid EBUSY on EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT
    xfs_io -fc "pwrite -S 0xaa 0 1m" -c "fsync" $donorfile

    # create test file written by 0xbb
    xfs_io -fc "pwrite -S 0xbb 0 1023" -c "fsync" $testfile

    # compute initial md5sum
    md5sum $testfile | tee md5sum.txt
    # drop cache, force e4compact to read data from disk
    echo 3 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

    # test defrag
    echo "$testfile" | $e4compact -i -v -f $donorfile
    # check md5sum
    md5sum -c md5sum.txt

Fix it by creating &amp; mapping buffer heads only but not reading blocks
from disk, because all the data in page is guaranteed to be up-to-date
in mext_page_mkuptodate().
