commit ac5ee087d31ed93b6e45d2968a66828c6f621d8c upstream.

This patch moves the msleep_interruptible() out of the non-sleepable
context by moving the ls-&gt;ls_recover_spin spinlock around so
msleep_interruptible() will be called in a sleepable context.

commit 7c9d9223802fbed4dee1ae301661bf346964c9d2 upstream.

Truncate an inode's address space when flipping the GFS2_DIF_JDATA flag:
depending on that flag, the pages in the address space will either use
buffer heads or iomap_folio_state structs, and we cannot mix the two.

<title>gfs2: ignore negated quota changes</title>

[ Upstream commit 4c6a08125f2249531ec01783a5f4317d7342add5 ]

When lots of quota changes are made, there may be cases in which an
inode's quota information is increased and then decreased, such as when
blocks are added to a file, then deleted from it. If the timing is
right, function do_qc can add pending quota changes to a transaction,
then later, another call to do_qc can negate those changes, resulting
in a net gain of 0. The quota_change information is recorded in the qc
buffer (and qd element of the inode as well). The buffer is added to the
transaction by the first call to do_qc, but a subsequent call changes
the value from non-zero back to zero. At that point it's too late to
remove the buffer_head from the transaction. Later, when the quota sync
code is called, the zero-change qd element is discovered and flagged as
an assert warning. If the fs is mounted with errors=panic, the kernel
will panic.

This is usually seen when files are truncated and the quota changes are
negated by punch_hole/truncate which uses gfs2_quota_hold and
gfs2_quota_unhold rather than block allocations that use gfs2_quota_lock
and gfs2_quota_unlock which automatically do quota sync.

This patch solves the problem by adding a check to qd_check_sync such
that net-zero quota changes already added to the transaction are no
longer deemed necessary to be synced, and skipped.

In this case references are taken for the qd and the slot from do_qc
so those need to be put. The normal sequence of events for a normal
non-zero quota change is as follows:

gfs2_quota_change
   do_qc
      qd_hold
      slot_hold

Later, when the changes are to be synced:

gfs2_quota_sync
   qd_fish
      qd_check_sync
         gets qd ref via lockref_get_not_dead
   do_sync
      do_qc(QC_SYNC)
         qd_put
	    lockref_put_or_lock
   qd_unlock
      qd_put
         lockref_put_or_lock

In the net-zero change case, we add a check to qd_check_sync so it puts
the qd and slot references acquired in gfs2_quota_change and skip the
unneeded sync.

<title>gfs2: Fix possible data races in gfs2_show_options()</title>

[ Upstream commit 6fa0a72cbbe45db4ed967a51f9e6f4e3afe61d20 ]

Some fields such as gt_logd_secs of the struct gfs2_tune are accessed
without holding the lock gt_spin in gfs2_show_options():

  val = sdp-&gt;sd_tune.gt_logd_secs;
  if (val != 30)
    seq_printf(s, ",commit=%d", val);

And thus can cause data races when gfs2_show_options() and other functions
such as gfs2_reconfigure() are concurrently executed:

  spin_lock(&amp;gt-&gt;gt_spin);
  gt-&gt;gt_logd_secs = newargs-&gt;ar_commit;

To fix these possible data races, the lock sdp-&gt;sd_tune.gt_spin is
acquired before accessing the fields of gfs2_tune and released after these
accesses.

Further changes by Andreas:

- Don't hold the spin lock over the seq_printf operations.

<title>gfs2: Don't deref jdesc in evict</title>

<id>23f98fe887ce3e7c8bd111f37e62735c5018c534</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 504a10d9e46bc37b23d0a1ae2f28973c8516e636 upstream.

On corrupt gfs2 file systems the evict code can try to reference the
journal descriptor structure, jdesc, after it has been freed and set to
NULL. The sequence of events is:

init_journal()
...
fail_jindex:
   gfs2_jindex_free(sdp); &lt;------frees journals, sets jdesc = NULL
      if (gfs2_holder_initialized(&amp;ji_gh))
         gfs2_glock_dq_uninit(&amp;ji_gh);
fail:
   iput(sdp-&gt;sd_jindex); &lt;--references jdesc in evict_linked_inode
      evict()
         gfs2_evict_inode()
            evict_linked_inode()
               ret = gfs2_trans_begin(sdp, 0, sdp-&gt;sd_jdesc-&gt;jd_blocks);
&lt;------references the now freed/zeroed sd_jdesc pointer.

The call to gfs2_trans_begin is done because the truncate_inode_pages
call can cause gfs2 events that require a transaction, such as removing
journaled data (jdata) blocks from the journal.

This patch fixes the problem by adding a check for sdp-&gt;sd_jdesc to
function gfs2_evict_inode. In theory, this should only happen to corrupt
gfs2 file systems, when gfs2 detects the problem, reports it, then tries
to evict all the system inodes it has read in up to that point.

NULL. The sequence of events is:

init_journal()
...
fail_jindex:
   gfs2_jindex_free(sdp); &lt;------frees journals, sets jdesc = NULL
      if (gfs2_holder_initialized(&amp;ji_gh))
         gfs2_glock_dq_uninit(&amp;ji_gh);
fail:
   iput(sdp-&gt;sd_jindex); &lt;--references jdesc in evict_linked_inode
      evict()
         gfs2_evict_inode()
            evict_linked_inode()
               ret = gfs2_trans_begin(sdp, 0, sdp-&gt;sd_jdesc-&gt;jd_blocks);
&lt;------references the now freed/zeroed sd_jdesc pointer.

The call to gfs2_trans_begin is done because the truncate_inode_pages
call can cause gfs2 events that require a transaction, such as removing
journaled data (jdata) blocks from the journal.

This patch fixes the problem by adding a check for sdp-&gt;sd_jdesc to
function gfs2_evict_inode. In theory, this should only happen to corrupt
gfs2 file systems, when gfs2 detects the problem, reports it, then tries
to evict all the system inodes it has read in up to that point.

commit 3f649ab728cda8038259d8f14492fe400fbab911 upstream.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.
