commit 03a8bb0e53d9562276045bdfcf2b5de2e4cff5a1 upstream.

As Al pointed, d_revalidate should return RCU lookup before using d_inode.
This was originally introduced by:
commit 34286d666230 ("fs: rcu-walk aware d_revalidate method").

<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`

  good_tab="0 $devsize linear $backend_dev 0"
  error_tab="0 $devsize error $backend_dev 0"

  dmsetup create $devname --table "$good_tab"

  mkfs -t ext4 $dev
  mount -t ext4 -o errors=continue,strictatime $dev $mnt

  dmsetup load $devname --table "$error_tab" &amp;&amp; dmsetup resume $devname
  echo 3 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
  ls -l $mnt
  exit 0

<title>ext4: ignore quota mount options if the quota feature is enabled</title>

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.

<title>ext4: add lockdep annotations for i_data_sem</title>

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);
   lock(&amp;s-&gt;s_dquot.dqio_mutex);

commit c0a37d48788475d0a2cf4fbfaa28559a9de612fc upstream.

EXT4 may be used as lower layer of overlayfs and accessing f_path.dentry
can lead to a crash.

Fix by replacing direct access of file-&gt;f_path.dentry with the
file_dentry() accessor, which will always return a native object.

commit 9dd78d8c9a7bd4bc341f5864db32d4331b8eae4c upstream.

In f_op-&gt;open() lock on parent is not held, so there's no guarantee that
parent dentry won't go away at any time.

Even after this patch there's no guarantee that 'dir' will stay the parent
of 'inode', but at least it won't be freed while being used.
