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:

l /mnt

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

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.

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

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

commit 827aa18e7b903c5ff3b3cd8fec328a99b1dbd411 upstream.

When initializing the security xattrs, we are holding a transaction handle
therefore we need to use a GFP_NOFS context in order to avoid a deadlock
with reclaim in case it's triggered.

<title>Btrfs: fix deadlock when enabling quotas due to concurrent snapshot creation</title>

commit 9a6f209e36500efac51528132a3e3083586eda5f upstream.

If the quota enable and snapshot creation ioctls are called concurrently
we can get into a deadlock where the task enabling quotas will deadlock
on the fs_info-&gt;qgroup_ioctl_lock mutex because it attempts to lock it
twice, or the task creating a snapshot tries to commit the transaction
while the task enabling quota waits for the former task to commit the
transaction while holding the mutex. The following time diagrams show how
both cases happen.

First scenario:

           CPU 0                                    CPU 1

 btrfs_ioctl()
  btrfs_ioctl_quota_ctl()
   btrfs_quota_enable()
    mutex_lock(fs_info-&gt;qgroup_ioctl_lock)
    btrfs_start_transaction()

                                             btrfs_ioctl()
                                              btrfs_ioctl_snap_create_v2
                                               create_snapshot()
                                                --&gt; adds snapshot to the
                                                    list pending_snapshots
                                                    of the current
                                                    transaction

    btrfs_commit_transaction()
     create_pending_snapshots()
       create_pending_snapshot()
        qgroup_account_snapshot()
         btrfs_qgroup_inherit()
	   mutex_lock(fs_info-&gt;qgroup_ioctl_lock)
	    --&gt; deadlock, mutex already locked
	        by this task at
		btrfs_quota_enable()

Second scenario:

           CPU 0                                    CPU 1

 btrfs_ioctl()
  btrfs_ioctl_quota_ctl()
   btrfs_quota_enable()
    mutex_lock(fs_info-&gt;qgroup_ioctl_lock)
    btrfs_start_transaction()

                                             btrfs_ioctl()
                                              btrfs_ioctl_snap_create_v2
                                               create_snapshot()
                                                --&gt; adds snapshot to the
                                                    list pending_snapshots
                                                    of the current
                                                    transaction

                                                btrfs_commit_transaction()
                                                 --&gt; waits for task at
                                                     CPU 0 to release
                                                     its transaction
                                                     handle

    btrfs_commit_transaction()
     --&gt; sees another task started
         the transaction commit first
     --&gt; releases its transaction
         handle
     --&gt; waits for the transaction
         commit to be completed by
         the task at CPU 1

                                                 create_pending_snapshot()
                                                  qgroup_account_snapshot()
                                                   btrfs_qgroup_inherit()
                                                    mutex_lock(fs_info-&gt;qgroup_ioctl_lock)
                                                     --&gt; deadlock, task at CPU 0
                                                         has the mutex locked but
                                                         it is waiting for us to
                                                         finish the transaction
                                                         commit

So fix this by setting the quota enabled flag in fs_info after committing
the transaction at btrfs_quota_enable(). This ends up serializing quota
enable and snapshot creation as if the snapshot creation happened just
before the quota enable request. The quota rescan task, scheduled after
committing the transaction in btrfs_quote_enable(), will do the accounting.

                                                         it is waiting for us to
                                                         finish the transaction
                                                         commit

So fix this by setting the quota enabled flag in fs_info after committing
the transaction at btrfs_quota_enable(). This ends up serializing quota
enable and snapshot creation as if the snapshot creation happened just
before the quota enable request. The quota rescan task, scheduled after
committing the transaction in btrfs_quote_enable(), will do the accounting.

<title>Btrfs: fix access to available allocation bits when starting balance</title>

commit 5a8067c0d17feb7579db0476191417b441a8996e upstream.

The available allocation bits members from struct btrfs_fs_info are
protected by a sequence lock, and when starting balance we access them
incorrectly in two different ways:

1) In the read sequence lock loop at btrfs_balance() we use the values we
   read from fs_info-&gt;avail_*_alloc_bits and we can immediately do actions
   that have side effects and can not be undone (printing a message and
   jumping to a label). This is wrong because a retry might be needed, so
   our actions must not have side effects and must be repeatable as long
   as read_seqretry() returns a non-zero value. In other words, we were
   essentially ignoring the sequence lock;

2) Right below the read sequence lock loop, we were reading the values
   from avail_metadata_alloc_bits and avail_data_alloc_bits without any
   protection from concurrent writers, that is, reading them outside of
   the read sequence lock critical section.

So fix this by making sure we only read the available allocation bits
while in a read sequence lock critical section and that what we do in the
critical section is repeatable (has nothing that can not be undone) so
that any eventual retry that is needed is handled properly.

Fixes: de98ced9e743 ("Btrfs: use seqlock to protect fs_info-&gt;avail_{data, metadata, system}_alloc_bits")
Fixes: 14506127979a ("btrfs: fix a bogus warning when converting only data or metadata")

commit 191ce17876c9367819c4b0a25b503c0f6d9054d8 upstream.

The check for special (reserved) inode number checks in __ext4_iget()
was broken by commit 8a363970d1dc: ("ext4: avoid declaring fs
inconsistent due to invalid file handles").  This was caused by a
botched reversal of the sense of the flag now known as
EXT4_IGET_SPECIAL (when it was previously named EXT4_IGET_NORMAL).
Fix the logic appropriately.

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().

<title>ext4: use ext4_write_inode() when fsyncing w/o a journal</title>

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.
