commit 801674f34ecfed033b062a0f217506b93c8d5e8a upstream.

We do not want to create initialized extents beyond end of file because
for e2fsck it is impossible to distinguish them from a case of corrupted
file size / extent tree and so it complains like:

Inode 12, i_size is 147456, should be 163840.  Fix? no

Code in ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized() and
ext4_split_convert_extents() try to make sure it does not create
initialized extents beyond inode size however they check against
inode-&gt;i_size which is wrong. They should instead check against
EXT4_I(inode)-&gt;i_disksize which is the current inode size on disk.
That's what e2fsck is going to see in case of crash before all dirty
data is written. This bug manifests as generic/456 test failure (with
recent enough fstests where fsx got fixed to properly pass
FALLOC_KEEP_SIZE_FL flags to the kernel) when run with dioread_lock
mount option.

<title>ext4: fix incorrect inodes per group in error message</title>

commit b9c538da4e52a7b79dfcf4cfa487c46125066dfb upstream.

If ext4_fill_super detects an invalid number of inodes per group, the
resulting error message printed the number of blocks per group, rather
than the number of inodes per group. Fix it to print the correct value.

commit df41460a21b06a76437af040d90ccee03888e8e5 upstream.

ext4_fill_super doublechecks the number of groups before mounting; if
that check fails, the resulting error message prints the group count
from the ext4_sb_info sbi, which hasn't been set yet. Print the freshly
computed group count instead (which at that point has just been computed
in "blocks_count").

commit 37b0b6b8b99c0e1c1f11abbe7cf49b6d03795b3f upstream.

If sbi-&gt;s_flex_groups_allocated is zero and the first allocation fails
then this code will crash.  The problem is that "i--" will set "i" to
-1 but when we compare "i &gt;= sbi-&gt;s_flex_groups_allocated" then the -1
is type promoted to unsigned and becomes UINT_MAX.  Since UINT_MAX
is more than zero, the condition is true so we call kvfree(new_groups[-1]).
The loop will carry on freeing invalid memory until it crashes.

commit cb85f4d23f794e24127f3e562cb3b54b0803f456 upstream.

If EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is set on an inode while ext4_writepages() is running
on it, the following warning in ext4_add_complete_io() can be hit:

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at fs/ext4/page-io.c:234 ext4_put_io_end_defer+0xf0/0x120

Here's a minimal reproducer (not 100% reliable) (root isn't required):

        while true; do
                sync
        done &amp;
        while true; do
                rm -f file
                touch file
                chattr -e file
                echo X &gt;&gt; file
                chattr +e file
        done

The problem is that in ext4_writepages(), ext4_should_dioread_nolock()
(which only returns true on extent-based files) is checked once to set
the number of reserved journal credits, and also again later to select
the flags for ext4_map_blocks() and copy the reserved journal handle to
ext4_io_end::handle.  But if EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is being concurrently set,
the first check can see dioread_nolock disabled while the later one can
see it enabled, causing the reserved handle to unexpectedly be NULL.

Since changing EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is uncommon, and there may be other races
related to doing so as well, fix this by synchronizing changing
EXT4_EXTENTS_FL with ext4_writepages() via the existing
s_writepages_rwsem (previously called s_journal_flag_rwsem).

This was originally reported by syzbot without a reproducer at
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=2202a584a00fffd19fbf,
but now that dioread_nolock is the default I also started seeing this
when running syzkaller locally.

commit bbd55937de8f2754adc5792b0f8e5ff7d9c0420e upstream.

In preparation for making s_journal_flag_rwsem synchronize
ext4_writepages() with changes to both the EXTENTS and JOURNAL_DATA
flags (rather than just JOURNAL_DATA as it does currently), rename it to
s_writepages_rwsem.

commit 9db176bceb5c5df4990486709da386edadc6bd1d upstream.

When CONFIG_QFMT_V2 is configured as a module, the test in
ext4_feature_set_ok() fails and so mount of filesystems with quota or
project features fails. Fix the test to use IS_ENABLED macro which
works properly even for modules.

<title>ext4: fix potential race between s_flex_groups online resizing and access</title>

commit 7c990728b99ed6fbe9c75fc202fce1172d9916da upstream.

During an online resize an array of s_flex_groups structures gets replaced
so it can get enlarged. If there is a concurrent access to the array and
this memory has been reused then this can lead to an invalid memory access.

The s_flex_group array has been converted into an array of pointers rather
than an array of structures. This is to ensure that the information
contained in the structures cannot get out of sync during a resize due to
an accessor updating the value in the old structure after it has been
copied but before the array pointer is updated. Since the structures them-
selves are no longer copied but only the pointers to them this case is
mitigated.
