[ Upstream commit 219481a8f90ec3a5eed9638fb35609e4b1aeece7 ]

Make SMB2 not print out an error when an oplock break is received for an
unknown handle, similar to SMB1.  The debug message which is printed for
these unknown handles may also be misleading, so fix that too.

The SMB2 lease break path is not affected by this patch.

Without this, a program which writes to a file from one thread, and
opens, reads, and writes the same file from another thread triggers the
below errors several times a minute when run against a Samba server
configured with "smb2 leases = no".

[ Upstream commit cee8f4f6fcabfdf229542926128e9874d19016d5 ]

RHBZ: 1933527

Under SMB1 + POSIX, if an inode is reused on a server after we have read and
cached a part of a file, when we then open the new file with the
re-cycled inode there is a chance that we may serve the old data out of cache
to the application.
This only happens for SMB1 (deprecated) and when posix are used.
The simplest solution to avoid this race is to force a revalidate
on smb1-posix open.

commit 5e46d1b78a03d52306f21f77a4e4a144b6d31486 upstream.

syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at reiserfs_security_init()
[1], for commit ab17c4f02156c4f7 ("reiserfs: fixup xattr_root caching")
is assuming that REISERFS_SB(s)-&gt;xattr_root != NULL in
reiserfs_xattr_jcreate_nblocks() despite that commit made
REISERFS_SB(sb)-&gt;priv_root != NULL &amp;&amp; REISERFS_SB(s)-&gt;xattr_root == NULL
case possible.

I guess that commit 6cb4aff0a77cc0e6 ("reiserfs: fix oops while creating
privroot with selinux enabled") wanted to check xattr_root != NULL
before reiserfs_xattr_jcreate_nblocks(), for the changelog is talking
about the xattr root.

  The issue is that while creating the privroot during mount
  reiserfs_security_init calls reiserfs_xattr_jcreate_nblocks which
  dereferences the xattr root. The xattr root doesn't exist, so we get
  an oops.

Therefore, update reiserfs_xattrs_initialized() to check both the
privroot and the xattr root.

[ Upstream commit 5dccdc5a1916d4266edd251f20bbbb113a5c495f ]

In ext4_rename(), when RENAME_WHITEOUT failed to add new entry into
directory, it ends up dropping new created whiteout inode under the
running transaction. After commit &lt;9b88f9fb0d2&gt; ("ext4: Do not iput inode
under running transaction"), we follow the assumptions that evict() does
not get called from a transaction context but in ext4_rename() it breaks
this suggestion. Although it's not a real problem, better to obey it, so
this patch add inode to orphan list and stop transaction before final
iput().

<title>iomap: Fix negative assignment to unsigned sis-&gt;pages in iomap_swapfile_activate</title>

[ Upstream commit 5808fecc572391867fcd929662b29c12e6d08d81 ]

In case if isi.nr_pages is 0, we are making sis-&gt;pages (which is
unsigned int) a huge value in iomap_swapfile_activate() by assigning -1.
This could cause a kernel crash in kernel v4.18 (with below signature).
Or could lead to unknown issues on latest kernel if the fake big swap gets
used.

Fix this issue by returning -EINVAL in case of nr_pages is 0, since it
is anyway a invalid swapfile. Looks like this issue will be hit when
we have pagesize &lt; blocksize type of configuration.

I was able to hit the issue in case of a tiny swap file with below
test script.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/riteshharjani/LinuxStudy/master/scripts/swap-issue.sh

kernel crash analysis on v4.18
==============================
On v4.18 kernel, it causes a kernel panic, since sis-&gt;pages becomes
a huge value and isi.nr_extents is 0. When 0 is returned it is
considered as a swapfile over NFS and SWP_FILE is set (sis-&gt;flags |= SWP_FILE).
Then when swapoff was getting called it was calling a_ops-&gt;swap_deactivate()
if (sis-&gt;flags &amp; SWP_FILE) is true. Since a_ops-&gt;swap_deactivate() is
NULL in case of XFS, it causes below panic.

[ Upstream commit 7005227369079963d25fb2d5d736d0feb2c44cf6 ]

When NFSD_V4 is enabled and CRYPTO is disabled,
Kbuild gives the following warning:

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for CRYPTO_SHA256
  Depends on [n]: CRYPTO [=n]
  Selected by [y]:
  - NFSD_V4 [=y] &amp;&amp; NETWORK_FILESYSTEMS [=y] &amp;&amp; NFSD [=y] &amp;&amp; PROC_FS [=y]

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for CRYPTO_MD5
  Depends on [n]: CRYPTO [=n]
  Selected by [y]:
  - NFSD_V4 [=y] &amp;&amp; NETWORK_FILESYSTEMS [=y] &amp;&amp; NFSD [=y] &amp;&amp; PROC_FS [=y]

This is because NFSD_V4 selects CRYPTO_MD5 and CRYPTO_SHA256,
without depending on or selecting CRYPTO, despite those config options
being subordinate to CRYPTO.

<title>ext4: shrink race window in ext4_should_retry_alloc()</title>

[ Upstream commit efc61345274d6c7a46a0570efbc916fcbe3e927b ]

When generic/371 is run on kvm-xfstests using 5.10 and 5.11 kernels, it
fails at significant rates on the two test scenarios that disable
delayed allocation (ext3conv and data_journal) and force actual block
allocation for the fallocate and pwrite functions in the test.  The
failure rate on 5.10 for both ext3conv and data_journal on one test
system typically runs about 85%.  On 5.11, the failure rate on ext3conv
sometimes drops to as low as 1% while the rate on data_journal
increases to nearly 100%.

The observed failures are largely due to ext4_should_retry_alloc()
cutting off block allocation retries when s_mb_free_pending (used to
indicate that a transaction in progress will free blocks) is 0.
However, free space is usually available when this occurs during runs
of generic/371.  It appears that a thread attempting to allocate
blocks is just missing transaction commits in other threads that
increase the free cluster count and reset s_mb_free_pending while
the allocating thread isn't running.  Explicitly testing for free space
availability avoids this race.

The current code uses a post-increment operator in the conditional
expression that determines whether the retry limit has been exceeded.
This means that the conditional expression uses the value of the
retry counter before it's increased, resulting in an extra retry cycle.
The current code actually retries twice before hitting its retry limit
rather than once.

Increasing the retry limit to 3 from the current actual maximum retry
count of 2 in combination with the change described above reduces the
observed failure rate to less that 0.1% on both ext3conv and
data_journal with what should be limited impact on users sensitive to
the overhead caused by retries.

A per filesystem percpu counter exported via sysfs is added to allow
users or developers to track the number of times the retry limit is
exceeded without resorting to debugging methods.  This should provide
some insight into worst case retry behavior.

<title>ext4: add reclaim checks to xattr code</title>

commit 163f0ec1df33cf468509ff38cbcbb5eb0d7fac60 upstream.

Syzbot is reporting that ext4 can enter fs reclaim from kvmalloc() while
the transaction is started like:

  fs_reclaim_acquire+0x117/0x150 mm/page_alloc.c:4340
  might_alloc include/linux/sched/mm.h:193 [inline]
  slab_pre_alloc_hook mm/slab.h:493 [inline]
  slab_alloc_node mm/slub.c:2817 [inline]
  __kmalloc_node+0x5f/0x430 mm/slub.c:4015
  kmalloc_node include/linux/slab.h:575 [inline]
  kvmalloc_node+0x61/0xf0 mm/util.c:587
  kvmalloc include/linux/mm.h:781 [inline]
  ext4_xattr_inode_cache_find fs/ext4/xattr.c:1465 [inline]
  ext4_xattr_inode_lookup_create fs/ext4/xattr.c:1508 [inline]
  ext4_xattr_set_entry+0x1ce6/0x3780 fs/ext4/xattr.c:1649
  ext4_xattr_ibody_set+0x78/0x2b0 fs/ext4/xattr.c:2224
  ext4_xattr_set_handle+0x8f4/0x13e0 fs/ext4/xattr.c:2380
  ext4_xattr_set+0x13a/0x340 fs/ext4/xattr.c:2493

This should be impossible since transaction start sets PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS.
Add some assertions to the code to catch if something isn't working as
expected early.
