commit 6b8beca0edd32075a769bfe4178ca00c0dcd22a9 upstream.

As Yanming reported in bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215916

The kernel message is shown below:

The root cause is: ckpt.valid_block_count is inconsistent with SIT table,
stat info indicates filesystem has free blocks, but SIT table indicates
filesystem has no free segment.

So that during garbage colloection, it triggers panic when LFS allocator
fails to find free segment.

This patch tries to fix this issue by checking consistency in between
ckpt.valid_block_count and block accounted from SIT.

<title>f2fs: fix dereference of stale list iterator after loop body</title>

[ Upstream commit 2aaf51dd39afb6d01d13f1e6fe20b684733b37d5 ]

The list iterator variable will be a bogus pointer if no break was hit.
Dereferencing it (cur-&gt;page in this case) could load an out-of-bounds/undefined
value making it unsafe to use that in the comparision to determine if the
specific element was found.

Since 'cur-&gt;page' *can* be out-ouf-bounds it cannot be guaranteed that
by chance (or intention of an attacker) it matches the value of 'page'
even though the correct element was not found.

This is fixed by using a separate list iterator variable for the loop
and only setting the original variable if a suitable element was found.
Then determing if the element was found is simply checking if the
variable is set.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this round, we've tried to address some performance issues in
  f2fs_checkpoint and direct IO flows. Also, there was a work to enhance
  the page cache management used for compression. Other than them, we've
  done typical work including sysfs, code clean-ups, tracepoint, sanity
  check, in addition to bug fixes on corner cases.

  Enhancements:
   - use iomap for direct IO
   - try to avoid lock contention to improve f2fs_ckpt speed
   - avoid unnecessary memory allocation in compression flow
   - POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED drops the page cache containing compression
     pages
   - add some sysfs entries (gc_urgent_high_remaining, pending_discard)

  Bug fixes:
   - try not to expose unwritten blocks to user by DIO (this was added
     to avoid merge conflict; another patch is coming to address other
     missing case)
   - relax minor error condition for file pinning feature used in
     Android OTA
   - fix potential deadlock case in compression flow
   - should not truncate any block on pinned file

  In addition, we've done some code clean-ups and tracepoint/sanity
  check improvement"

   - POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED drops the page cache containing compression
     pages
   - add some sysfs entries (gc_urgent_high_remaining, pending_discard)

  Bug fixes:
   - try not to expose unwritten blocks to user by DIO (this was added
     to avoid merge conflict; another patch is coming to address other
     missing case)
   - relax minor error condition for file pinning feature used in
     Android OTA
   - fix potential deadlock case in compression flow
   - should not truncate any block on pinned file

  In addition, we've done some code clean-ups and tracepoint/sanity
  check improvement"

find_first{,_zero}_bit is a more effective analogue of 'next' version if
start == 0. This patch replaces 'next' with 'first' where things look
trivial.

<title>mm: introduce memalloc_retry_wait()</title>

<content type='text'>
Various places in the kernel - largely in filesystems - respond to a
memory allocation failure by looping around and re-trying.  Some of
these cannot conveniently use __GFP_NOFAIL, for reasons such as:

 - a GFP_ATOMIC allocation, which __GFP_NOFAIL doesn't work on
 - a need to check for the process being signalled between failures
 - the possibility that other recovery actions could be performed
 - the allocation is quite deep in support code, and passing down an
   extra flag to say if __GFP_NOFAIL is wanted would be clumsy.

Many of these currently use congestion_wait() which (in almost all
cases) simply waits the given timeout - congestion isn't tracked for
most devices.

It isn't clear what the best delay is for loops, but it is clear that
the various filesystems shouldn't be responsible for choosing a timeout.

This patch introduces memalloc_retry_wait() with takes on that
responsibility.  Code that wants to retry a memory allocation can call
this function passing the GFP flags that were used.  It will wait
however is appropriate.

For now, it only considers __GFP_NORETRY and whatever
gfpflags_allow_blocking() tests.  If blocking is allowed without
__GFP_NORETRY, then alloc_page either made some reclaim progress, or
waited for a while, before failing.  So there is no need for much
further waiting.  memalloc_retry_wait() will wait until the current
jiffie ends.  If this condition is not met, then alloc_page() won't have
waited much if at all.  In that case memalloc_retry_wait() waits about
200ms.  This is the delay that most current loops uses.

linux/sched/mm.h needs to be included in some files now,
but linux/backing-dev.h does not.

This patch tries to mitigate lock contention between f2fs_write_checkpoint and
f2fs_get_node_info along with nat_tree_lock.

The idea is, if checkpoint is currently running, other threads that try to grab
nat_tree_lock would be better to wait for checkpoint.

<title>f2fs: invalidate META_MAPPING before IPU/DIO write</title>

<content type='text'>
Encrypted pages during GC are read and cached in META_MAPPING.
However, due to cached pages in META_MAPPING, there is an issue where
newly written pages are lost by IPU or DIO writes.

Thread A - f2fs_gc()            Thread B
/* phase 3 */
down_write(i_gc_rwsem)
ra_data_block()       ---- (a)
up_write(i_gc_rwsem)
                                f2fs_direct_IO() :
                                 - down_read(i_gc_rwsem)
                                 - __blockdev_direct_io()
                                 - get_data_block_dio_write()
                                 - f2fs_dio_submit_bio()  ---- (b)
                                 - up_read(i_gc_rwsem)
/* phase 4 */
down_write(i_gc_rwsem)
move_data_block()     ---- (c)
up_write(i_gc_rwsem)

(a) In phase 3 of f2fs_gc(), up-to-date page is read from storage and
    cached in META_MAPPING.
(b) In thread B, writing new data by IPU or DIO write on same blkaddr as
    read in (a). cached page in META_MAPPING become out-dated.
(c) In phase 4 of f2fs_gc(), out-dated page in META_MAPPING is copied to
    new blkaddr. In conclusion, the newly written data in (b) is lost.

To address this issue, invalidating pages in META_MAPPING before IPU or
DIO write.

Commit 3c62be17d4f5 ("f2fs: support multiple devices") missed
to support direct IO for multiple device feature, this patch
adds to support the missing part of multidevice feature.

In addition, for multiple device image, we should be aware of
any issued direct write IO rather than just buffered write IO,
so that fsync and syncfs can issue a preflush command to the
device where direct write IO goes, to persist user data for
posix compliant.
