[ Upstream commit e0770e91424f694b461141cbc99adf6b23006b60 ]

When we try to use file already used as a quota file again (for the same
or different quota type), strange things can happen. At the very least
lockdep annotations may be wrong but also inode flags may be wrongly set
/ reset. When the file is used for two quota types at once we can even
corrupt the file and likely crash the kernel. Catch all these cases by
checking whether passed file is already used as quota file and bail
early in that case.

This fixes occasional generic/219 failure due to lockdep complaint.

<title>fscrypt: return -EXDEV for incompatible rename or link into encrypted dir</title>

commit f5e55e777cc93eae1416f0fa4908e8846b6d7825 upstream.

Currently, trying to rename or link a regular file, directory, or
symlink into an encrypted directory fails with EPERM when the source
file is unencrypted or is encrypted with a different encryption policy,
and is on the same mountpoint.  It is correct for the operation to fail,
but the choice of EPERM breaks tools like 'mv' that know to copy rather
than rename if they see EXDEV, but don't know what to do with EPERM.

Our original motivation for EPERM was to encourage users to securely
handle their data.  Encrypting files by "moving" them into an encrypted
directory can be insecure because the unencrypted data may remain in
free space on disk, where it can later be recovered by an attacker.
It's much better to encrypt the data from the start, or at least try to
securely delete the source data e.g. using the 'shred' program.

However, the current behavior hasn't been effective at achieving its
goal because users tend to be confused, hack around it, and complain;
see e.g. https://github.com/google/fscrypt/issues/76.  And in some cases
it's actually inconsistent or unnecessary.  For example, 'mv'-ing files
between differently encrypted directories doesn't work even in cases
where it can be secure, such as when in userspace the same passphrase
protects both directories.  Yet, you *can* already 'mv' unencrypted
files into an encrypted directory if the source files are on a different
mountpoint, even though doing so is often insecure.

There are probably better ways to teach users to securely handle their
files.  For example, the 'fscrypt' userspace tool could provide a
command that migrates unencrypted files into an encrypted directory,
acting like 'shred' on the source files and providing appropriate
warnings depending on the type of the source filesystem and disk.

Receiving errors on unimportant files might also force some users to
disable encryption, thus making the behavior counterproductive.  It's
desirable to make encryption as unobtrusive as possible.

Therefore, change the error code from EPERM to EXDEV so that tools
looking for EXDEV will fall back to a copy.

This, of course, doesn't prevent users from still doing the right things
to securely manage their files.  Note that this also matches the
behavior when a file is renamed between two project quota hierarchies;
so there's precedent for using EXDEV for things other than mountpoints.

xfstests generic/398 will require an update with this change.

[ Upstream commit 5872331b3d91820e14716632ebb56b1399b34fe1 ]

If for any reason a directory passed to do_split() does not have enough
active entries to exceed half the size of the block, we can end up
iterating over all "count" entries without finding a split point.

In this case, count == move, and split will be zero, and we will
attempt a negative index into map[].

Guard against this by detecting this case, and falling back to
split-to-half-of-count instead; in this case we will still have
plenty of space (&gt; half blocksize) in each split block.

When ext4 encryption was originally merged, we were encrypting the
user-specified filename in ext4_match(), introducing a lot of additional
complexity into ext4_match() and its callers.  This has since been
changed to encrypt the filename earlier, so we can remove the gunk
that's no longer needed.  This more or less reverts ext4_search_dir()
and ext4_find_dest_de() to the way they were in the v4.0 kernel.

<title>ext4: fix direct I/O read error</title>

<id>80d9ecc9e25b95d3fd52475562d311b93a7163d3</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch is used to fix ext4 direct I/O read error when
the read size is not aligned with block size.

Then, I will use a test to explain the error.

(1) Make a file that is not aligned with block size:
	$dd if=/dev/zero of=./test.jar bs=1000 count=3

(2) I wrote a source file named "direct_io_read_file.c" as following:

	#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
	#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/file.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/stat.h&gt;
	#include &lt;string.h&gt;
	#define BUF_SIZE 1024

	int main()
	{
		int fd;
		int ret;

		unsigned char *buf;
		ret = posix_memalign((void **)&amp;buf, 512, BUF_SIZE);
		if (ret) {
			perror("posix_memalign failed");
			exit(1);
		}
		fd = open("./test.jar", O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT, 0755);
		if (fd &lt; 0){
			perror("open ./test.jar failed");
			exit(1);
		}

		do {
			ret = read(fd, buf, BUF_SIZE);
			printf("ret=%d\n",ret);
			if (ret &lt; 0) {
				perror("write test.jar failed");
			}
		} while (ret &gt; 0);

		free(buf);
		close(fd);
	}

(3) Compile the source file:
	$gcc direct_io_read_file.c -D_GNU_SOURCE

(4) Run the test program:
	$./a.out

	The result is as following:
	ret=1024
	ret=1024
	ret=952
	ret=-1
	write test.jar failed: Invalid argument.

I have tested this program on XFS filesystem, XFS does not have
this problem, because XFS use iomap_dio_rw() to do direct I/O
read. And the comparing between read offset and file size is done
in iomap_dio_rw(), the code is as following:

	if (pos &lt; size) {
		retval = filemap_write_and_wait_range(mapping, pos,
				pos + iov_length(iov, nr_segs) - 1);

		if (!retval) {
			retval = mapping-&gt;a_ops-&gt;direct_IO(READ, iocb,
						iov, pos, nr_segs);
		}
		...
	}

...only when "pos &lt; size", direct I/O can be done, or 0 will be return.

I have tested the fix patch on Ext4, it is up to the mustard of
EINVAL in man2(read) as following:
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
	ssize_t read(int fd, void *buf, size_t count);

	EINVAL
		fd is attached to an object which is unsuitable for reading;
		or the file was opened with the O_DIRECT flag, and either the
		address specified in buf, the value specified in count, or the
		current file offset is not suitably aligned.

So I think this patch can be applied to fix ext4 direct I/O error.

However Ext4 introduces direct I/O read using iomap infrastructure
on kernel 5.5, the patch is commit &lt;b1b4705d54ab&gt;
("ext4: introduce direct I/O read using iomap infrastructure"),
then Ext4 will be the same as XFS, they all use iomap_dio_rw() to do direct
I/O read. So this problem does not exist on kernel 5.5 for Ext4.

&gt;From above description, we can see this problem exists on all the kernel
versions between kernel 3.14 and kernel 5.4. It will cause the Applications
to fail to read. For example, when the search service downloads a new full
index file, the search engine is loading the previous index file and is
processing the search request, it can not use buffer io that may squeeze
the previous index file in use from pagecache, so the serch service must
use direct I/O read.

Please apply this patch on these kernel versions, or please use the method
on kernel 5.5 to fix this problem.

...only when "pos &lt; size", direct I/O can be done, or 0 will be return.

I have tested the fix patch on Ext4, it is up to the mustard of
EINVAL in man2(read) as following:
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
	ssize_t read(int fd, void *buf, size_t count);

	EINVAL
		fd is attached to an object which is unsuitable for reading;
		or the file was opened with the O_DIRECT flag, and either the
		address specified in buf, the value specified in count, or the
		current file offset is not suitably aligned.

So I think this patch can be applied to fix ext4 direct I/O error.

However Ext4 introduces direct I/O read using iomap infrastructure
on kernel 5.5, the patch is commit &lt;b1b4705d54ab&gt;
("ext4: introduce direct I/O read using iomap infrastructure"),
then Ext4 will be the same as XFS, they all use iomap_dio_rw() to do direct
I/O read. So this problem does not exist on kernel 5.5 for Ext4.

&gt;From above description, we can see this problem exists on all the kernel
versions between kernel 3.14 and kernel 5.4. It will cause the Applications
to fail to read. For example, when the search service downloads a new full
index file, the search engine is loading the previous index file and is
processing the search request, it can not use buffer io that may squeeze
the previous index file in use from pagecache, so the serch service must
use direct I/O read.

Please apply this patch on these kernel versions, or please use the method
on kernel 5.5 to fix this problem.

[ Upstream commit cfb3c85a600c6aa25a2581b3c1c4db3460f14e46 ]

Fix the bug when calculating the physical block number of the first
block in the split extent.

This bug will cause xfstests shared/298 failure on ext4 with bigalloc
enabled occasionally. Ext4 error messages indicate that previously freed
blocks are being freed again, and the following fsck will fail due to
the inconsistency of block bitmap and bg descriptor.

The following is an example case:

1. First, Initialize a ext4 filesystem with cluster size '16K', block size
'4K', in which case, one cluster contains four blocks.

2. Create one file (e.g., xxx.img) on this ext4 filesystem. Now the extent
tree of this file is like:

...
36864:[0]4:220160
36868:[0]14332:145408
51200:[0]2:231424
...

3. Then execute PUNCH_HOLE fallocate on this file. The hole range is
like:

..
ext4_ext_remove_space: dev 254,16 ino 12 since 49506 end 49506 depth 1
ext4_ext_remove_space: dev 254,16 ino 12 since 49544 end 49546 depth 1
ext4_ext_remove_space: dev 254,16 ino 12 since 49605 end 49607 depth 1
...

4. Then the extent tree of this file after punching is like

...
49507:[0]37:158047
49547:[0]58:158087
...

5. Detailed procedure of punching hole [49544, 49546]

5.1. The block address space:
```
lblk        ~49505  49506   49507~49543     49544~49546    49547~
	  ---------+------+-------------+----------------+--------
	    extent | hole |   extent	|	hole	 | extent
	  ---------+------+-------------+----------------+--------
pblk       ~158045  158046  158047~158083  158084~158086   158087~
```

5.2. The detailed layout of cluster 39521:
```
		cluster 39521
	&lt;-------------------------------&gt;

		hole		  extent
	&lt;----------------------&gt;&lt;--------

lblk      49544   49545   49546   49547
	+-------+-------+-------+-------+
	|	|	|	|	|
	+-------+-------+-------+-------+
pblk     158084  1580845  158086  158087
```

5.3. The ftrace output when punching hole [49544, 49546]:
- ext4_ext_remove_space (start 49544, end 49546)
  - ext4_ext_rm_leaf (start 49544, end 49546, last_extent [49507(158047), 40], partial [pclu 39522 lblk 0 state 2])
    - ext4_remove_blocks (extent [49507(158047), 40], from 49544 to 49546, partial [pclu 39522 lblk 0 state 2]
      - ext4_free_blocks: (block 158084 count 4)
        - ext4_mballoc_free (extent 1/6753/1)

5.4. Ext4 error message in dmesg:
EXT4-fs error (device vdb): mb_free_blocks:1457: group 1, block 158084:freeing already freed block (bit 6753); block bitmap corrupt.
EXT4-fs error (device vdb): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:747: group 1, block bitmap and bg descriptor inconsistent: 19550 vs 19551 free clusters

In this case, the whole cluster 39521 is freed mistakenly when freeing
pblock 158084~158086 (i.e., the first three blocks of this cluster),
although pblock 158087 (the last remaining block of this cluster) has
not been freed yet.

The root cause of this isuue is that, the pclu of the partial cluster is
calculated mistakenly in ext4_ext_remove_space(). The correct
partial_cluster.pclu (i.e., the cluster number of the first block in the
next extent, that is, lblock 49597 (pblock 158086)) should be 39521 rather
than 39522.

commit c36a71b4e35ab35340facdd6964a00956b9fef0a upstream.

If eh-&gt;eh_max is 0, EXT_MAX_EXTENT/INDEX would evaluate to unsigned
(-1) resulting in illegal memory accesses. Although there is no
consistent repro, we see that generic/019 sometimes crashes because of
this bug.

Ran gce-xfstests smoke and verified that there were no regressions.

When journal size is set too big by "mkfs.ext4 -J size=", or when
we mount a crafted image to make journal inode-&gt;i_size too big,
the loop, "while (i &lt; num)", holds cpu too long. This could cause
soft lockup.
