commit ce56d21355cd6f6937aca32f1f44ca749d1e4808 upstream.

syzbot reports that the following warning from ext4_iomap_begin()
triggers as of the commit referenced below:

        if (WARN_ON_ONCE(ext4_has_inline_data(inode)))
                return -ERANGE;

This occurs during a dio write, which is never expected to encounter
an inode with inline data. To enforce this behavior,
ext4_dio_write_iter() checks the current inline state of the inode
and clears the MAY_INLINE_DATA state flag to either fall back to
buffered writes, or enforce that any other writers in progress on
the inode are not allowed to create inline data.

The problem is that the check for existing inline data and the state
flag can span a lock cycle. For example, if the ilock is originally
locked shared and subsequently upgraded to exclusive, another writer
may have reacquired the lock and created inline data before the dio
write task acquires the lock and proceeds.

The commit referenced below loosens the lock requirements to allow
some forms of unaligned dio writes to occur under shared lock, but
AFAICT the inline data check was technically already racy for any
dio write that would have involved a lock cycle. Regardless, lift
clearing of the state bit to the same lock critical section that
checks for preexisting inline data on the inode to close the race.

<title>ext4: properly sync file size update after O_SYNC direct IO</title>

commit 91562895f8030cb9a0470b1db49de79346a69f91 upstream.

Gao Xiang has reported that on ext4 O_SYNC direct IO does not properly
sync file size update and thus if we crash at unfortunate moment, the
file can have smaller size although O_SYNC IO has reported successful
completion. The problem happens because update of on-disk inode size is
handled in ext4_dio_write_iter() *after* iomap_dio_rw() (and thus
dio_complete() in particular) has returned and generic_file_sync() gets
called by dio_complete(). Fix the problem by handling on-disk inode size
update directly in our -&gt;end_io completion handler.

<content type='text'>
commit 40dd7953f4d606c280074f10d23046b6812708ce upstream.

Wrong check of gdb backup in meta bg as following:
first_group is the first group of meta_bg which contains target group, so
target group is always &gt;= first_group. We check if target group has gdb
backup by comparing first_group with [group + 1] and [group +
EXT4_DESC_PER_BLOCK(sb) - 1]. As group &gt;= first_group, then [group + N] is
&gt; first_group. So no copy of gdb backup in meta bg is done in
setup_new_flex_group_blocks.

No need to do gdb backup copy in meta bg from setup_new_flex_group_blocks
as we always copy updated gdb block to backups at end of
ext4_flex_group_add as following:

ext4_flex_group_add
  /* no gdb backup copy for meta bg any more */
  setup_new_flex_group_blocks

  /* update current group number */
  ext4_update_super
    sbi-&gt;s_groups_count += flex_gd-&gt;count;

  /*
   * if group in meta bg contains backup is added, the primary gdb block
   * of the meta bg will be copy to backup in new added group here.
   */
  for (; gdb_num &lt;= gdb_num_end; gdb_num++)
    update_backups(...)

In summary, we can remove wrong gdb backup copy code in
setup_new_flex_group_blocks.

<title>ext4: correct the start block of counting reserved clusters</title>

commit 40ea98396a3659062267d1fe5f99af4f7e4f05e3 upstream.

When big allocate feature is enabled, we need to count and update
reserved clusters before removing a delayed only extent_status entry.
{init|count|get}_rsvd() have already done this, but the start block
number of this counting isn't correct in the following case.

  lblk            end
   |               |
   v               v
          -------------------------
          |                       | orig_es
          -------------------------
                   ^              ^
      len1 is 0    |     len2     |

If the start block of the orig_es entry founded is bigger than lblk, we
passed lblk as start block to count_rsvd(), but the length is correct,
finally, the range to be counted is offset. This patch fix this by
passing the start blocks to 'orig_es-&gt;lblk + len1'.

<title>ext4: mark buffer new if it is unwritten to avoid stale data exposure</title>

commit 2cd8bdb5efc1e0d5b11a4b7ba6b922fd2736a87f upstream.

** Short Version **

In ext4 with dioread_nolock, we could have a scenario where the bh returned by
get_blocks (ext4_get_block_unwritten()) in __block_write_begin_int() has
UNWRITTEN and MAPPED flag set. Since such a bh does not have NEW flag set we
never zero out the range of bh that is not under write, causing whatever stale
data is present in the folio at that time to be written out to disk. To fix this
mark the buffer as new, in case it is unwritten, in ext4_get_block_unwritten().

** Long Version **

The issue mentioned above was resulting in two different bugs:

1. On block size &lt; page size case in ext4, generic/269 was reliably
failing with dioread_nolock. The state of the write was as follows:

  * The write was extending i_size.
  * The last block of the file was fallocated and had an unwritten extent
  * We were near ENOSPC and hence we were switching to non-delayed alloc
    allocation.

In this case, the back trace that triggers the bug is as follows:

  ext4_da_write_begin()
    /* switch to nodelalloc due to low space */
    ext4_write_begin()
      ext4_should_dioread_nolock() // true since mount flags still have delalloc
      __block_write_begin(..., ext4_get_block_unwritten)
        __block_write_begin_int()
          for(each buffer head in page) {
            /* first iteration, this is bh1 which contains i_size */
            if (!buffer_mapped)
              get_block() /* returns bh with only UNWRITTEN and MAPPED */
            /* second iteration, bh2 */
              if (!buffer_mapped)
                get_block() /* we fail here, could be ENOSPC */
          }
          if (err)
            /*
             * this would zero out all new buffers and mark them uptodate.
             * Since bh1 was never marked new, we skip it here which causes
             * the bug later.
             */
            folio_zero_new_buffers();
      /* ext4_wrte_begin() error handling */
      ext4_truncate_failed_write()
        ext4_truncate()
          ext4_block_truncate_page()
            __ext4_block_zero_page_range()

2. The second issue is stale data exposure with page size &gt;= blocksize
with dioread_nolock. The conditions needed for it to happen are same as
the previous issue ie dioread_nolock around ENOSPC condition. The issue
is also similar where in __block_write_begin_int() when we call
ext4_get_block_unwritten() on the buffer_head and the underlying extent
is unwritten, we get an unwritten and mapped buffer head. Since it is
not new, we never zero out the partial range which is not under write,
thus writing stale data to disk. This can be easily observed with the
following reproducer:

 fallocate -l 4k testfile
 xfs_io -c "pwrite 2k 2k" testfile
 # hexdump output will have stale data in from byte 0 to 2k in testfile
 hexdump -C testfile

NOTE: To trigger this, we need dioread_nolock enabled and write happening via
ext4_write_begin(), which is usually used when we have -o nodealloc. Since
dioread_nolock is disabled with nodelalloc, the only alternate way to call
ext4_write_begin() is to ensure that delayed alloc switches to nodelalloc ie
ext4_da_write_begin() calls ext4_write_begin(). This will usually happen when
ext4 is almost full like the way generic/269 was triggering it in Issue 1 above.
This might make the issue harder to hit. Hence, for reliable replication, I used
the below patch to temporarily allow dioread_nolock with nodelalloc and then
mount the disk with -o nodealloc,dioread_nolock. With this you can hit the stale
data issue 100% of times:

 }

After applying this patch to mark buffer as NEW, both the above issues are
fixed.

commit 2cd8bdb5efc1e0d5b11a4b7ba6b922fd2736a87f upstream.

** Short Version **

In ext4 with dioread_nolock, we could have a scenario where the bh returned by
get_blocks (ext4_get_block_unwritten()) in __block_write_begin_int() has
UNWRITTEN and MAPPED flag set. Since such a bh does not have NEW flag set we
never zero out the range of bh that is not under write, causing whatever stale
data is present in the folio at that time to be written out to disk. To fix this
mark the buffer as new, in case it is unwritten, in ext4_get_block_unwritten().

** Long Version **

The issue mentioned above was resulting in two different bugs:

1. On block size &lt; page size case in ext4, generic/269 was reliably
failing with dioread_nolock. The state of the write was as follows:

  * The write was extending i_size.
  * The last block of the file was fallocated and had an unwritten extent
  * We were near ENOSPC and hence we were switching to non-delayed alloc
    allocation.

In this case, the back trace that triggers the bug is as follows:

  ext4_da_write_begin()
    /* switch to nodelalloc due to low space */
    ext4_write_begin()
      ext4_should_dioread_nolock() // true since mount flags still have delalloc
      __block_write_begin(..., ext4_get_block_unwritten)
        __block_write_begin_int()
          for(each buffer head in page) {
            /* first iteration, this is bh1 which contains i_size */
            if (!buffer_mapped)
              get_block() /* returns bh with only UNWRITTEN and MAPPED */
            /* second iteration, bh2 */
              if (!buffer_mapped)
                get_block() /* we fail here, could be ENOSPC */
          }
          if (err)
            /*
             * this would zero out all new buffers and mark them uptodate.
             * Since bh1 was never marked new, we skip it here which causes
             * the bug later.
             */
            folio_zero_new_buffers();
      /* ext4_wrte_begin() error handling */
      ext4_truncate_failed_write()
        ext4_truncate()
          ext4_block_truncate_page()
            __ext4_block_zero_page_range()
              if(!buffer_uptodate())
                ext4_read_bh_lock()
                  ext4_read_bh() -&gt; ... ext4_submit_bh_wbc()
                    BUG_ON(buffer_unwritten(bh)); /* !!! */

<title>ext4: correct offset of gdb backup in non meta_bg group to update_backups</title>

commit 31f13421c004a420c0e9d288859c9ea9259ea0cc upstream.

Commit 0aeaa2559d6d5 ("ext4: fix corruption when online resizing a 1K
bigalloc fs") found that primary superblock's offset in its group is
not equal to offset of backup superblock in its group when block size
is 1K and bigalloc is enabled. As group descriptor blocks are right
after superblock, we can't pass block number of gdb to update_backups
for the same reason.

The root casue of the issue above is that leading 1K padding block is
count as data block offset for primary block while backup block has no
padding block offset in its group.

Remove padding data block count to fix the issue for gdb backups.

For meta_bg case, update_backups treat blk_off as block number, do no
conversion in this case.

commit 484fd6c1de13b336806a967908a927cc0356e312 upstream.

The function ext4_init_acl() calls posix_acl_create() which is
responsible for applying the umask.  But without
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL, ext4_init_acl() is an empty inline function,
and nobody applies the umask.

This fixes a bug which causes the umask to be ignored with O_TMPFILE
on ext4:

commit 8e387c89e96b9543a339f84043cf9df15fed2632 upstream.

__insert_pending() allocate memory in atomic context, so the allocation
could fail, but we are not handling that failure now. It could lead
ext4_es_remove_extent() to get wrong reserved clusters, and the global
data blocks reservation count will be incorrect. The same to
extents_status entry preallocation, preallocate pending entry out of the
i_es_lock with __GFP_NOFAIL, make sure __insert_pending() and
__revise_pending() always succeeds.
