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.

[ Upstream commit 829b37b8cddb1db75c1b7905505b90e593b15db1 ]

Trying to change dax mount options when remounting could allow mount
options to be enabled for a small amount of time, and then the mount
option change would be reverted.

In the case of "mount -o remount,dax", this can cause a race where
files would temporarily treated as DAX --- and then not.

commit 2ce3ee931a097e9720310db3f09c01c825a4580c upstream.

If the dentry name passed to -&gt;d_compare() fits in dentry::d_iname, then
it may be concurrently modified by a rename.  This can cause undefined
behavior (possibly out-of-bounds memory accesses or crashes) in
utf8_strncasecmp(), since fs/unicode/ isn't written to handle strings
that may be concurrently modified.

Fix this by first copying the filename to a stack buffer if needed.
This way we get a stable snapshot of the filename.

commit cfb3c85a600c6aa25a2581b3c1c4db3460f14e46 upstream.

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.

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.

Now the errcode from ext4_commit_super will overwrite EROFS exists in

<title>ext4: fix race between ext4_sync_parent() and rename()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 08adf452e628b0e2ce9a01048cfbec52353703d7 upstream.

'igrab(d_inode(dentry-&gt;d_parent))' without holding dentry-&gt;d_lock is
broken because without d_lock, d_parent can be concurrently changed due
to a rename().  Then if the old directory is immediately deleted, old
d_parent-&gt;inode can be NULL.  That causes a NULL dereference in igrab().

To fix this, use dget_parent() to safely grab a reference to the parent
dentry, which pins the inode.  This also eliminates the need to use
d_find_any_alias() other than for the initial inode, as we no longer
throw away the dentry at each step.

This is an extremely hard race to hit, but it is possible.  Adding a
udelay() in between the reads of -&gt;d_parent and its -&gt;d_inode makes it
reproducible on a no-journal filesystem using the following program:

    #include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
    #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

    int main()
    {
        if (fork()) {
            for (;;) {
                mkdir("dir1", 0700);
                int fd = open("dir1/file", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_SYNC);
                write(fd, "X", 1);
                close(fd);
            }
        } else {
            mkdir("dir2", 0700);
            for (;;) {

                rmdir("dir1");

commit 8418897f1bf87da0cb6936489d57a4320c32c0af upstream.

Don't pass error pointers to brelse().

commit 7159a986b420 ("ext4: fix some error pointer dereferences") has fixed
some cases, fix the remaining one case.

Once ext4_xattr_block_find()-&gt;ext4_sb_bread() failed, error pointer is
stored in @bs-&gt;bh, which will be passed to brelse() in the cleanup
routine of ext4_xattr_set_handle(). This will then cause a NULL panic
crash in __brelse().

RIP: 0010:__brelse+0x1b/0x50
Call Trace:

In this case, @bs-&gt;bh stores '-EIO' actually.

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.

commit f1eec3b0d0a849996ebee733b053efa71803dad5 upstream.

While calculating overhead for internal journal, also check
that j_inum shouldn't be 0. Otherwise we get below error with
xfstests generic/050 with external journal (XXX_LOGDEV config) enabled.

It could be simply reproduced with loop device with an external journal
and marking blockdev as RO before mounting.

[ Upstream commit 907ea529fc4c3296701d2bfc8b831dd2a8121a34 ]

If the in-core buddy bitmap gets corrupted (or out of sync with the
block bitmap), issue a WARN_ON and try to recover.  In most cases this
involves skipping trying to allocate out of a particular block group.
We can end up declaring the file system corrupted, which is fair,
since the file system probably should be checked before we proceed any
further.
