[ 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 7b97d868b7ab2448859668de9222b8af43f76e78 upstream.

In the ext4 filesystem with errors=panic, if one process is recording
errno in the superblock when invoking jbd2_journal_abort() due to some
error cases, it could be raced by another __ext4_abort() which is
setting the SB_RDONLY flag but missing panic because errno has not been
recorded.

jbd2_journal_commit_transaction()
 jbd2_journal_abort()
  journal-&gt;j_flags |= JBD2_ABORT;
  jbd2_journal_update_sb_errno()
                                    | ext4_journal_check_start()
                                    |  __ext4_abort()
                                    |   sb-&gt;s_flags |= SB_RDONLY;
                                    |   if (!JBD2_REC_ERR)
                                    |        return;
  journal-&gt;j_flags |= JBD2_REC_ERR;

Finally, it will no longer trigger panic because the filesystem has
already been set read-only. Fix this by introduce j_abort_mutex to make
sure journal abort is completed before panic, and remove JBD2_REC_ERR
flag.

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.

<title>ext4: fix partial cluster initialization when splitting extent</title>

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.

[ Upstream commit 6e014c621e7271649f0d51e54dbe1db4c10486c8 ]

Running with some debug patches to detect illegal blocking triggered the
extend/unaligned condition in ext4. If ext4 needs to extend the file (and
hence go to buffered IO), or if the app is doing unaligned IO, then ext4
asks the iomap code to wait for IO completion. If the caller asked for
no-wait semantics by setting IOCB_NOWAIT, then ext4 should return -EAGAIN
instead.

[ Upstream commit 4209ae12b12265d475bba28634184423149bd14f ]

ext4_mark_inode_dirty() can fail for real reasons. Ignoring its return
value may lead ext4 to ignore real failures that would result in
corruption / crashes. Harden ext4_mark_inode_dirty error paths to fail
as soon as possible and return errors to the caller whenever
appropriate.

One of the possible scnearios when this bug could affected is that
while creating a new inode, its directory entry gets added
successfully but while writing the inode itself mark_inode_dirty
returns error which is ignored. This would result in inconsistency
that the directory entry points to a non-existent inode.

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

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

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 (;;) {
                rename("dir1/file", "dir2/file");
                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().

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000005b
RIP: 0010:__brelse+0x1b/0x50
Call Trace:
 ext4_xattr_set_handle+0x163/0x5d0

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

<title>ext4: fix buffer_head refcnt leak when ext4_iget() fails</title>

commit 3bbd0ef26098d241dc59ee77ba14b7dab0df0786 upstream.

ext4_orphan_get() invokes ext4_read_inode_bitmap(), which returns a
reference of the specified buffer_head object to "bitmap_bh" with
increased refcnt.

When ext4_orphan_get() returns, local variable "bitmap_bh" becomes
invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.

The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of
ext4_orphan_get(). When ext4_iget() fails, the function forgets to
decrease the refcnt increased by ext4_read_inode_bitmap(), causing a
refcnt leak.

Fix this issue by calling brelse() when ext4_iget() fails.
