commit 04906b2f542c23626b0ef6219b808406f8dddbe9 upstream.

bd_set_size() updates also block device's block size. This is somewhat
unexpected from its name and at this point, only blkdev_open() uses this
functionality. Furthermore, this can result in changing block size under
a filesystem mounted on a loop device which leads to livelocks inside
__getblk_gfp() like:

losetup -c /dev/loop0
l /mnt

Fix the problem by moving initialization of a block device block size
into a separate function and call it when needed.

Thanks to Tetsuo Handa &lt;penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp&gt; for help with
debugging the problem.

commit 5631e8576a3caf606cdc375f97425a67983b420c upstream.

Yue Hu noticed that when parsing device tree the allocated platform data
was never freed. Since it's not used beyond the function scope, this
switches to using a stack variable instead.

<title>btrfs: wait on ordered extents on abort cleanup</title>

commit 74d5d229b1bf60f93bff244b2dfc0eb21ec32a07 upstream.

If we flip read-only before we initiate writeback on all dirty pages for
ordered extents we've created then we'll have ordered extents left over
on umount, which results in all sorts of bad things happening.  Fix this
by making sure we wait on ordered extents if we have to do the aborted
transaction cleanup stuff.

commit 77b7aad195099e7c6da11e94b7fa6ef5e6fb0025 upstream.

This reverts commit e73e81b6d0114d4a303205a952ab2e87c44bd279.

This patch causes a few problems:

- adds latency to btrfs_finish_ordered_io
- as btrfs_finish_ordered_io is used for free space cache, generating
  more work from btrfs_btree_balance_dirty_nodelay could end up in the
  same workque, effectively deadlocking

Eventually, we have every process in the system waiting on
balance_dirty_pages(), and nobody is able to make progress on page
writeback.

The original patch tried to fix an OOM condition, that happened on 4.4 but no
success reproducing that on later kernels (4.19 and 4.20). This is more likely
a problem in OOM itself.

commit 77b7aad195099e7c6da11e94b7fa6ef5e6fb0025 upstream.

This reverts commit e73e81b6d0114d4a303205a952ab2e87c44bd279.

This patch causes a few problems:

- adds latency to btrfs_finish_ordered_io
- as btrfs_finish_ordered_io is used for free space cache, generating
  more work from btrfs_btree_balance_dirty_nodelay could end up in the
  same workque, effectively deadlocking

[&lt;0&gt;] ret_from_fork+0x24/0x30
[&lt;0&gt;] 0xffffffffffffffff

Transaction commit will wait on the freespace cache:

We already using mapping_set_error() in fs/ext4/page_io.c, so all we
need to do is to use file_check_and_advance_wb_err() when handling
fsync() requests in ext4_sync_file().

commit ad211f3e94b314a910d4af03178a0b52a7d1ee0a upstream.

In no-journal mode, we previously used __generic_file_fsync() in
no-journal mode.  This triggers a lockdep warning, and in addition,
it's not safe to depend on the inode writeback mechanism in the case
ext4.  We can solve both problems by calling ext4_write_inode()
directly.

<title>ext4: avoid kernel warning when writing the superblock to a dead device</title>

commit e86807862e6880809f191c4cea7f88a489f0ed34 upstream.

The xfstests generic/475 test switches the underlying device with
dm-error while running a stress test.  This results in a large number
of file system errors, and since we can't lock the buffer head when
marking the superblock dirty in the ext4_grp_locked_error() case, it's
possible the superblock to be !buffer_uptodate() without
buffer_write_io_error() being true.

We need to set buffer_uptodate() before we call mark_buffer_dirty() or
this will trigger a WARN_ON.  It's safe to do this since the
superblock must have been properly read into memory or the mount would
have been successful.  So if buffer_uptodate() is not set, we can
safely assume that this happened due to a failed attempt to write the
superblock.

<title>ext4: fix a potential fiemap/page fault deadlock w/ inline_data</title>

commit 2b08b1f12cd664dc7d5c84ead9ff25ae97ad5491 upstream.

The ext4_inline_data_fiemap() function calls fiemap_fill_next_extent()
while still holding the xattr semaphore.  This is not necessary and it
triggers a circular lockdep warning.  This is because
fiemap_fill_next_extent() could trigger a page fault when it writes
into page which triggers a page fault.  If that page is mmaped from
the inline file in question, this could very well result in a
deadlock.

This problem can be reproduced using generic/519 with a file system
configuration which has the inline_data feature enabled.

<title>ext4: make sure enough credits are reserved for dioread_nolock writes</title>

commit 812c0cab2c0dfad977605dbadf9148490ca5d93f upstream.

There are enough credits reserved for most dioread_nolock writes;
however, if the extent tree is sufficiently deep, and/or quota is
enabled, the code was not allowing for all eventualities when
reserving journal credits for the unwritten extent conversion.

This problem can be seen using xfstests ext4/034:
