commit 94b07b6f9e2e996afff7395de6b35f34f4cb10bf upstream.

This reverts commit 56e94ea132bb5c2c1d0b60a6aeb34dcb7d71a53d.

Commit 56e94ea132bb ("fs: ocfs2: fix possible null-pointer dereferences
in ocfs2_xa_prepare_entry()") introduces a regression that fail to
create directory with mount option user_xattr and acl.  Actually the
reported NULL pointer dereference case can be correctly handled by
loc-&gt;xl_ops-&gt;xlo_add_entry(), so revert it.

<title>io_uring: ensure registered buffer import returns the IO length</title>

commit 5e559561a8d7e6d4adfce6aa8fbf3daa3dec1577 upstream.

A test case was reported where two linked reads with registered buffers
failed the second link always. This is because we set the expected value
of a request in req-&gt;result, and if we don't get this result, then we
fail the dependent links. For some reason the registered buffer import
returned -ERROR/0, while the normal import returns -ERROR/length. This
broke linked commands with registered buffers.

Fix this by making io_import_fixed() correctly return the mapped length.

commit 762c69685ff7ad5ad7fee0656671e20a0c9c864d upstream.

We need to get the underlying dentry of parent; sure, absent the races
it is the parent of underlying dentry, but there's nothing to prevent
losing a timeslice to preemtion in the middle of evaluation of
lower_dentry-&gt;d_parent-&gt;d_inode, having another process move lower_dentry
around and have its (ex)parent not pinned anymore and freed on memory
pressure.  Then we regain CPU and try to fetch -&gt;d_inode from memory
that is freed by that point.

dentry-&gt;d_parent *is* stable here - it's an argument of -&gt;lookup() and
we are guaranteed that it won't be moved anywhere until we feed it
to d_add/d_splice_alias.  So we safely go that way to get to its
underlying dentry.

commit e72b9dd6a5f17d0fb51f16f8685f3004361e83d0 upstream.

lower_dentry can't go from positive to negative (we have it pinned),
but it *can* go from negative to positive.  So fetching -&gt;d_inode
into a local variable, doing a blocking allocation, checking that
now -&gt;d_inode is non-NULL and feeding the value we'd fetched
earlier to a function that won't accept NULL is not a good idea.

<title>Btrfs: fix log context list corruption after rename exchange operation</title>

commit e6c617102c7e4ac1398cb0b98ff1f0727755b520 upstream.

During rename exchange we might have successfully log the new name in the
source root's log tree, in which case we leave our log context (allocated
on stack) in the root's list of log contextes. However we might fail to
log the new name in the destination root, in which case we fallback to
a transaction commit later and never sync the log of the source root,
which causes the source root log context to remain in the list of log
contextes. This later causes invalid memory accesses because the context
was allocated on stack and after rename exchange finishes the stack gets
reused and overwritten for other purposes.

The kernel's linked list corruption detector (CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y) can
detect this and report something like the following:

This started happening recently when running some test cases from fstests
like btrfs/004 for example, because support for rename exchange was added
last week to fsstress from fstests.

So fix this by deleting the log context for the source root from the list
if we have logged the new name in the source root.

This started happening recently when running some test cases from fstests
like btrfs/004 for example, because support for rename exchange was added
last week to fsstress from fstests.

So fix this by deleting the log context for the source root from the list
if we have logged the new name in the source root.

<title>cgroup,writeback: don't switch wbs immediately on dead wbs if the memcg is dead</title>

commit 65de03e251382306a4575b1779c57c87889eee49 upstream.

cgroup writeback tries to refresh the associated wb immediately if the
current wb is dead.  This is to avoid keeping issuing IOs on the stale
wb after memcg - blkcg association has changed (ie. when blkcg got
disabled / enabled higher up in the hierarchy).

Unfortunately, the logic gets triggered spuriously on inodes which are
associated with dead cgroups.  When the logic is triggered on dead
cgroups, the attempt fails only after doing quite a bit of work
allocating and initializing a new wb.

While c3aab9a0bd91 ("mm/filemap.c: don't initiate writeback if mapping
has no dirty pages") alleviated the issue significantly as it now only
triggers when the inode has dirty pages.  However, the condition can
still be triggered before the inode is switched to a different cgroup
and the logic simply doesn't make sense.

Skip the immediate switching if the associated memcg is dying.

This is a simplified version of the following two patches:

 * https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190513183053.GA73423@dennisz-mbp/
 * http://lkml.kernel.org/r/156355839560.2063.5265687291430814589.stgit@buzz

<title>ocfs2: protect extent tree in ocfs2_prepare_inode_for_write()</title>

[ Upstream commit e74540b285569d2b1e14fe7aee92297078f235ce ]

When the extent tree is modified, it should be protected by inode
cluster lock and ip_alloc_sem.

The extent tree is accessed and modified in the
ocfs2_prepare_inode_for_write, but isn't protected by ip_alloc_sem.

The following is a case.  The function ocfs2_fiemap is accessing the
extent tree, which is modified at the same time.

commit 351e5d869e5ac10cb40c78b5f2d7dfc816ad4587 upstream.

Configfs abuses symlink(2).  Unlike the normal filesystems, it
wants the target resolved at symlink(2) time, like link(2) would've
done.  The problem is that -&gt;symlink() is called with the parent
directory locked exclusive, so resolving the target inside the
-&gt;symlink() is easily deadlocked.

Short of really ugly games in sys_symlink() itself, all we can
do is to unlock the parent before resolving the target and
relock it after.  However, that invalidates the checks done
by the caller of -&gt;symlink(), so we have to
	* check that dentry is still where it used to be
(it couldn't have been moved, but it could've been unhashed)
	* recheck that it's still negative (somebody else
might've successfully created a symlink with the same name
while we were looking the target up)
	* recheck the permissions on the parent directory.

commit d243af7ab9feb49f11f2c0050d2077e2d9556f9b upstream.

When the client hits a network reconnect, it re-opens every open
file with a create context to reconnect a persistent handle. All
create context types should be 8-bytes aligned but the padding
was missed for that one. As a result, some servers don't allow
us to reconnect handles and return an error. The problem occurs
when the problematic context is not at the end of the create
request packet. Fix this by adding a proper padding at the end
of the reconnect persistent handle context.
