[ Upstream commit 6f6a6fda294506dfe0e3e0a253bb2d2923f28f0a ]

If updating journal superblock fails after journal data has been
flushed, the error is omitted and this will mislead the caller as a
normal case.  In ocfs2, the checkpoint will be treated successfully
and the other node can get the lock to update. Since the sb_start is
still pointing to the old log block, it will rewrite the journal data
during journal recovery by the other node. Thus the new updates will
be overwritten and ocfs2 corrupts.  So in above case we have to return
the error, and ocfs2_commit_cache will take care of the error and
prevent the other node to do update first.  And only after recovering
journal it can do the new updates.

<title>jbd2: fix r_count overflows leading to buffer overflow in journal recovery</title>

[ Upstream commit e531d0bceb402e643a4499de40dd3fa39d8d2e43 ]

The journal revoke block recovery code does not check r_count for
sanity, which means that an evil value of r_count could result in
the kernel reading off the end of the revoke table and into whatever
garbage lies beyond.  This could crash the kernel, so fix that.

However, in testing this fix, I discovered that the code to write
out the revoke tables also was not correctly checking to see if the
block was full -- the current offset check is fine so long as the
revoke table space size is a multiple of the record size, but this
is not true when either journal_csum_v[23] are set.

<title>ext4: fix NULL pointer dereference when journal restart fails</title>

[ Upstream commit 9d506594069355d1fb2de3f9104667312ff08ed3 ]

Currently when journal restart fails, we'll have the h_transaction of
the handle set to NULL to indicate that the handle has been effectively
aborted. We handle this situation quietly in the jbd2_journal_stop() and just
free the handle and exit because everything else has been done before we
attempted (and failed) to restart the journal.

Unfortunately there are a number of problems with that approach
introduced with commit

41a5b913197c "jbd2: invalidate handle if jbd2_journal_restart()
fails"

First of all in ext4 jbd2_journal_stop() will be called through
__ext4_journal_stop() where we would try to get a hold of the superblock
by dereferencing h_transaction which in this case would lead to NULL
pointer dereference and crash.

In addition we're going to free the handle regardless of the refcount
which is bad as well, because others up the call chain will still
reference the handle so we might potentially reference already freed
memory.

Moreover it's expected that we'll get aborted handle as well as detached
handle in some of the journalling function as the error propagates up
the stack, so it's unnecessary to call WARN_ON every time we get
detached handle.

And finally we might leak some memory by forgetting to free reserved
handle in jbd2_journal_stop() in the case where handle was detached from
the transaction (h_transaction is NULL).

Fix the NULL pointer dereference in __ext4_journal_stop() by just
calling jbd2_journal_stop() quietly as suggested by Jan Kara. Also fix
the potential memory leak in jbd2_journal_stop() and use proper
handle refcounting before we attempt to free it to avoid use-after-free
issues.

And finally remove all WARN_ON(!transaction) from the code so that we do
not get random traces when something goes wrong because when journal
restart fails we will get to some of those functions.

<title>jbd2: fix regression where we fail to initialize checksum seed when loading</title>

When we're enabling journal features, we cannot use the predicate
jbd2_journal_has_csum_v2or3() because we haven't yet set the sb
feature flag fields!  Moreover, we just finished loading the shash
driver, so the test is unnecessary; calculate the seed always.

Without this patch, we fail to initialize the checksum seed the first
time we turn on journal_checksum, which means that all journal blocks
written during that first mount are corrupt.  Transactions written
after the second mount will be fine, since the feature flag will be
set in the journal superblock.  xfstests generic/{034,321,322} are the
regression tests.

(This is important for 3.18.)

The old hash function didn't work well for 64-bit block numbers, and
used undefined (negative) shift right behavior.  Use the generic
64-bit hash function instead.

The old hash function didn't work well for 64-bit block numbers, and
used undefined (negative) shift right behavior.  Use the generic
64-bit hash function instead.

__jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list() returns number of buffers it
freed but noone was using the value so just stop doing that. This
also allows for simplifying the calling convention for
journal_clean_once_cp_list().

Yuanhan has reported that when he is running fsync(2) heavy workload
creating new files over ramdisk, significant amount of time is spent in
__jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list() trying to clean old transactions
(but they cannot be cleaned up because flusher hasn't yet checkpointed
those buffers). The workload can be generated by:
  fs_mark -d /fs/ram0/1 -D 2 -N 2560 -n 1000000 -L 1 -S 1 -s 4096

Reduce the amount of scanning by stopping to scan the transaction list
once we find a transaction that cannot be checkpointed. Note that this
way of cleaning is still enough to keep freeing space in the journal
after fully checkpointed transactions.

If EIO happens after we have dropped j_state_lock, we won't notice
that the journal has been aborted.  So it is reasonable to move this
check after we have grabbed the j_checkpoint_mutex and re-grabbed the
j_state_lock.  This patch helps to prevent false positive complain
after EIO.

Free the buffer head if the journal descriptor block fails checksum
verification.

This is the jbd2 port of the e2fsprogs patch "e2fsck: free bh on csum
verify error in do_one_pass".
