commit b1b65750b8db67834482f758fc385bfa7560d228 upstream.

If FAT length == 0, the image doesn't have any data. And it can be the
cause of overlapping the root dir and FAT entries.

Also Windows treats it as invalid format.

commit bc87302a093f0eab45cd4e250c2021299f712ec6 upstream.

When get an error in the middle of reading an inode, some fields in the
inode might be still not initialized.  And then the evict_inode path may
access those fields via iput().

To fix, this makes sure that inode fields are initialized.

<title>fat: work around race with userspace's read via blockdev while mounting</title>

[ Upstream commit 07bfa4415ab607e459b69bd86aa7e7602ce10b4f ]

If userspace reads the buffer via blockdev while mounting,
sb_getblk()+modify can race with buffer read via blockdev.

For example,

            FS                               userspace
    bh = sb_getblk()
    modify bh-&gt;b_data
                                  read
				    ll_rw_block(bh)
				      fill bh-&gt;b_data by on-disk data
				      /* lost modified data by FS */
				      set_buffer_uptodate(bh)
    set_buffer_uptodate(bh)

Userspace should not use the blockdev while mounting though, the udev
seems to be already doing this.  Although I think the udev should try to
avoid this, workaround the race by small overhead.

[ Upstream commit bd8309de0d60838eef6fb575b0c4c7e95841cf73 ]

fsync() needs to make sure the data &amp; meta-data of file are persistent
after the return of fsync(), even when a power-failure occurs later.  In
the case of fat-fs, the FAT belongs to the meta-data of file, so we need
to issue a flush after the writeback of FAT instead before.

Also bail out early when any stage of fsync fails.

commit 35033ab988c396ad7bce3b6d24060c16a9066db8 upstream.

In parse_options(), if match_strdup() failed, parse_options() leaves
opts-&gt;iocharset in unexpected state (i.e.  still pointing the freed
string).  And this can be the cause of double free.

To fix, this initialize opts-&gt;iocharset always when freeing.

commit c0d0e351285161a515396b7b1ee53ec9ffd97e3c upstream.

Recently fallocate patch was merged and it uses
MSDOS_I(inode)-&gt;mmu_private at fat_evict_inode().  However,
fat_inode/fsinfo_inode that was introduced in past didn't initialize
MSDOS_I(inode) properly.

With those combinations, it became the cause of accessing random entry
in FAT area.

For the root directory, .  and ..  are faked (using dir_emit_dots()) and
ctx-&gt;pos is reset from 2 to 0.

A corrupted root directory could cause fat_get_entry() to fail, but
-&gt;iterate() (fat_readdir()) reports progress to the VFS (with ctx-&gt;pos
rewound to 0), so any following calls to -&gt;iterate() continue to return
the same entries again and again.

The result is that userspace will never see the end of the directory,
causing e.g.  'ls' to hang in a getdents() loop.

[hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp: cleanup and make sure to correct fake_offset]

With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related
declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup;
unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h
makes cyclic include dependency quite likely.

This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the
essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it.  c files
which need access to more backing-dev details now include
backing-dev.h directly.  This takes backing-dev.h off the common
include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block
and cgroup.

v2: fs/fat build failure fixed.
