[ Upstream commit 5d1935ac02ca5aee364a449a35e2977ea84509b0 ]

When we online resize an ext4 filesystem with a oversized flexbg_size,

     mkfs.ext4 -F -G 67108864 $dev -b 4096 100M
     mount $dev $dir
     resize2fs $dev 16G

the following WARN_ON is triggered:

This is because flexbg_size is too large and the size of the new_group_data
array to be allocated exceeds MAX_ORDER. Currently, the minimum value of
MAX_ORDER is 8, the minimum value of PAGE_SIZE is 4096, the corresponding
maximum number of groups that can be allocated is:

 (PAGE_SIZE &lt;&lt; MAX_ORDER) / sizeof(struct ext4_new_group_data) ≈ 21845

And the value that is down-aligned to the power of 2 is 16384. Therefore,
this value is defined as MAX_RESIZE_BG, and the number of groups added
each time does not exceed this value during resizing, and is added multiple
times to complete the online resizing. The difference is that the metadata
in a flex_bg may be more dispersed.

[ Upstream commit b099eb87de105cf07cad731ded6fb40b2675108b ]

In commit 967ac8af4475 ("ext4: fix potential integer overflow in
alloc_flex_gd()"), an overflow check is added to alloc_flex_gd() to
prevent the allocated memory from being smaller than expected due to
the overflow. However, after kmalloc() is replaced with kmalloc_array()
in commit 6da2ec56059c ("treewide: kmalloc() -&gt; kmalloc_array()"), the
kmalloc_array() function has an overflow check, so the above problem
will not occur. Therefore, the extra check is removed.

[ Upstream commit 658a52344fb139f9531e7543a6e0015b630feb38 ]

The maximum value of flexbg_size is 2^31, but the maximum value of int
is (2^31 - 1), so overflow may occur when the type of flexbg_size is
declared as int.

For example, when uninit_mask is initialized in ext4_alloc_group_tables(),
if flexbg_size == 2^31, the initialized uninit_mask is incorrect, and this
may causes set_flexbg_block_bitmap() to trigger a BUG_ON().

Therefore, the flexbg_size type is declared as unsigned int to avoid
overflow and memory waste.

[ Upstream commit 68da4c44b994aea797eb9821acb3a4a36015293e ]

Suppose we issue two FITRIM ioctls for ranges [0,15] and [16,31] with
mininum length of trimmed range set to 8 blocks. If we have say a range of
blocks 10-22 free, this range will not be trimmed because it straddles the
boundary of the two FITRIM ranges and neither part is big enough. This is a
bit surprising to some users that call FITRIM on smaller ranges of blocks
to limit impact on the system. Also XFS trims all free space extents that
overlap with the specified range so we are inconsistent among filesystems.
Let's change ext4_try_to_trim_range() to consider for trimming the whole
free space extent that straddles the end of specified range, not just the
part of it within the range.

<title>ext4: allow for the last group to be marked as trimmed</title>

commit 7c784d624819acbeefb0018bac89e632467cca5a upstream.

The ext4 filesystem tracks the trim status of blocks at the group
level.  When an entire group has been trimmed then it is marked as
such and subsequent trim invocations with the same minimum trim size
will not be attempted on that group unless it is marked as able to be
trimmed again such as when a block is freed.

Currently the last group can't be marked as trimmed due to incorrect
logic in ext4_last_grp_cluster(). ext4_last_grp_cluster() is supposed
to return the zero based index of the last cluster in a group. This is
then used by ext4_try_to_trim_range() to determine if the trim
operation spans the entire group and as such if the trim status of the
group should be recorded.

ext4_last_grp_cluster() takes a 0 based group index, thus the valid
values for grp are 0..(ext4_get_groups_count - 1). Any group index
less than (ext4_get_groups_count - 1) is not the last group and must
have EXT4_CLUSTERS_PER_GROUP(sb) clusters. For the last group we need
to calculate the number of clusters based on the number of blocks in
the group. Finally subtract 1 from the number of clusters as zero
based indexing is expected.  Rearrange the function slightly to make
it clear what we are calculating and returning.

Reproducer:
// Create file system where the last group has fewer blocks than
// blocks per group
$ mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -g 8192 /dev/nvme0n1 8191
$ mount /dev/nvme0n1 /mnt

Before Patch:
$ fstrim -v /mnt
/mnt: 25.9 MiB (27156480 bytes) trimmed
// Group not marked as trimmed so second invocation still discards blocks
$ fstrim -v /mnt
/mnt: 25.9 MiB (27156480 bytes) trimmed

After Patch:
fstrim -v /mnt
/mnt: 25.9 MiB (27156480 bytes) trimmed
// Group marked as trimmed so second invocation DOESN'T discard any blocks
fstrim -v /mnt
/mnt: 0 B (0 bytes) trimmed

<content type='text'>
The syzbot has reported that it can hit the warning in
ext4_dio_write_end_io() because i_size &lt; i_disksize. Indeed the
reproducer creates a race between DIO IO completion and truncate
expanding the file and thus ext4_dio_write_end_io() sees an inconsistent
inode state where i_disksize is already updated but i_size is not
updated yet. Since we are careful when setting up DIO write and consider

exclusively) whenever it goes past either of i_size or i_disksize, we
can use the same test during IO completion without risking entering
ext4_handle_inode_extension() without i_rwsem held. This way we make it
obvious both i_size and i_disksize are large enough when we report DIO
completion without relying on unreliable WARN_ON.

The syzbot has reported that it can hit the warning in
ext4_dio_write_end_io() because i_size &lt; i_disksize. Indeed the
reproducer creates a race between DIO IO completion and truncate
expanding the file and thus ext4_dio_write_end_io() sees an inconsistent
inode state where i_disksize is already updated but i_size is not
updated yet. Since we are careful when setting up DIO write and consider
it extending (and thus performing the IO synchronously with i_rwsem held
exclusively) whenever it goes past either of i_size or i_disksize, we
can use the same test during IO completion without risking entering
ext4_handle_inode_extension() without i_rwsem held. This way we make it
obvious both i_size and i_disksize are large enough when we report DIO
completion without relying on unreliable WARN_ON.

<title>ext4: prevent the normalized size from exceeding EXT_MAX_BLOCKS</title>

<id>2dcf5fde6dffb312a4bfb8ef940cea2d1f402e32</id>
<content type='text'>
For files with logical blocks close to EXT_MAX_BLOCKS, the file size
predicted in ext4_mb_normalize_request() may exceed EXT_MAX_BLOCKS.
This can cause some blocks to be preallocated that will not be used.
And after [Fixes], the following issue may be triggered:

Here is a calculation when adjusting ac_b_ex in ext4_mb_new_inode_pa():

	ex.fe_logical = orig_goal_end - EXT4_C2B(sbi, ex.fe_len);
	if (ac-&gt;ac_o_ex.fe_logical &gt;= ex.fe_logical)
		goto adjust_bex;

The problem is that when orig_goal_end is subtracted from ac_b_ex.fe_len
it is still greater than EXT_MAX_BLOCKS, which causes ex.fe_logical to
overflow to a very small value, which ultimately triggers a BUG_ON in
ext4_mb_new_inode_pa() because pa-&gt;pa_free &lt; len.

The last logical block of an actual write request does not exceed
EXT_MAX_BLOCKS, so in ext4_mb_normalize_request() also avoids normalizing
the last logical block to exceed EXT_MAX_BLOCKS to avoid the above issue.

The test case in [Link] can reproduce the above issue with 64k block size.

Pull vfs fanotify fsid updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This work is part of the plan to enable fanotify to serve as a drop-in
  replacement for inotify. While inotify is availabe on all filesystems,
  fanotify currently isn't.

  In order to support fanotify on all filesystems two things are needed:

   (1) all filesystems need to support AT_HANDLE_FID

   (2) all filesystems need to report a non-zero f_fsid

  This contains (1) and allows filesystems to encode non-decodable file
  handlers for fanotify without implementing any exportfs operations by
  encoding a file id of type FILEID_INO64_GEN from i_ino and
  i_generation.

  Filesystems that want to opt out of encoding non-decodable file ids
  for fanotify that don't support NFS export can do so by providing an
  empty export_operations struct.

  This also partially addresses (2) by generating f_fsid for simple
  filesystems as well as freevxfs. Remaining filesystems will be dealt
  with by separate patches.

  Finally, this contains the patch from the current exportfs maintainers
  which moves exportfs under vfs with Chuck, Jeff, and Amir as
  maintainers and vfs.git as tree"

     prctl so that userspace may direct the kernel to not automatically
     propagate the denial to child processes. The series is named 'MDWE
     without inheritance'

   - Kefeng Wang has provided the series 'mm: convert numa balancing
     functions to use a folio' which does what it says

   - In the series 'mm/ksm: add fork-exec support for prctl' Stefan
     Roesch makes is possible for a process to propagate KSM treatment
     across exec()

   - Huang Ying has enhanced memory tiering's calculation of memory
     distances. This is used to permit the dax/kmem driver to use 'high
     bandwidth memory' in addition to Optane Data Center Persistent
     Memory Modules (DCPMM). The series is named 'memory tiering:
     calculate abstract distance based on ACPI HMAT'

   - In the series 'Smart scanning mode for KSM' Stefan Roesch has
     optimized KSM by teaching it to retain and use some historical
     information from previous scans

   - Yosry Ahmed has fixed some inconsistencies in memcg statistics in
     the series 'mm: memcg: fix tracking of pending stats updates
     values'

   - In the series 'Implement IOCTL to get and optionally clear info
     about PTEs' Peter Xu has added an ioctl to /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/pagemap
     which permits us to atomically read-then-clear page softdirty
     state. This is mainly used by CRIU

   - Hugh Dickins contributed the series 'shmem,tmpfs: general
     maintenance', a bunch of relatively minor maintenance tweaks to
     this code

   - Matthew Wilcox has increased the use of the VMA lock over
     file-backed page faults in the series 'Handle more faults under the
     VMA lock'. Some rationalizations of the fault path became possible
     as a result

   - In the series 'mm/rmap: convert page_move_anon_rmap() to
     folio_move_anon_rmap()' David Hildenbrand has implemented some
     cleanups and folio conversions

   - In the series 'various improvements to the GUP interface' Lorenzo
     Stoakes has simplified and improved the GUP interface with an eye
     to providing groundwork for future improvements

   - Andrey Konovalov has sent along the series 'kasan: assorted fixes
     and improvements' which does those things

   - Some page allocator maintenance work from Kemeng Shi in the series
     'Two minor cleanups to break_down_buddy_pages'

   - In thes series 'New selftest for mm' Breno Leitao has developed
     another MM self test which tickles a race we had between madvise()
     and page faults

   - In the series 'Add folio_end_read' Matthew Wilcox provides cleanups
     and an optimization to the core pagecache code

   - Nhat Pham has added memcg accounting for hugetlb memory in the
     series 'hugetlb memcg accounting'

   - Cleanups and rationalizations to the pagemap code from Lorenzo
     Stoakes, in the series 'Abstract vma_merge() and split_vma()'

   - Audra Mitchell has fixed issues in the procfs page_owner code's new
     timestamping feature which was causing some misbehaviours. In the
     series 'Fix page_owner's use of free timestamps'

   - Lorenzo Stoakes has fixed the handling of new mappings of sealed
     files in the series 'permit write-sealed memfd read-only shared
     mappings'

   - Mike Kravetz has optimized the hugetlb vmemmap optimization in the
     series 'Batch hugetlb vmemmap modification operations'

   - Some buffer_head folio conversions and cleanups from Matthew Wilcox
     in the series 'Finish the create_empty_buffers() transition'

   - As a page allocator performance optimization Huang Ying has added
     automatic tuning to the allocator's per-cpu-pages feature, in the
     series 'mm: PCP high auto-tuning'

   - Roman Gushchin has contributed the patchset 'mm: improve
     performance of accounted kernel memory allocations' which improves
     their performance by ~30% as measured by a micro-benchmark

   - folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series 'mm: convert page
     cpupid functions to folios'

   - Some kmemleak fixups in Liu Shixin's series 'Some bugfix about
     kmemleak'

   - Qi Zheng has improved our handling of memoryless nodes by keeping
     them off the allocation fallback list. This is done in the series
     'handle memoryless nodes more appropriately'

   - khugepaged conversions from Vishal Moola in the series 'Some
     khugepaged folio conversions'"

[ bcachefs conflicts with the dynamically allocated shrinkers have been
