commit eee5cc2702929fd41cce28058dc6d6717f723f87 upstream.

The only thing we need it for is alt-sysrq-r (emergency remount r/o)
and these days we can do just as well without going through the
list of files.

Some devices lose data on TRIM whether queued or not.  This patch adds
a horkage to disable TRIM.

commit bd7ade3cd9b0850264306f5c2b79024a417b6396 upstream.

sb_getblk() is used during ext4 (and possibly other FSes) writeback
paths. Sometimes such path require allocating memory and guaranteeing
that such allocation won't block. Currently, however, there is no way
to provide user flags for sb_getblk which could lead to deadlocks.

This patch implements a sb_getblk_gfp with the only difference it can
accept user-provided GFP flags.

commit 3b5e6454aaf6b4439b19400d8365e2ec2d24e411 upstream.

A buffer cache is allocated from movable area because it is referred
for a while and released soon.  But some filesystems are taking buffer
cache for a long time and it can disturb page migration.

New APIs are introduced to allocate buffer cache with user specific
flag.  *_gfp APIs are for user want to set page allocation flag for
page cache allocation.  And *_unmovable APIs are for the user wants to
allocate page cache from non-movable area.

commit 841df7df196237ea63233f0f9eaa41db53afd70f upstream.

Commit 6f6a6fda2945 "jbd2: fix ocfs2 corrupt when updating journal
superblock fails" changed jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() to return EIO
when the journal is aborted. That makes logic in
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() bail out which is fine, except that
jbd2_journal_destroy() expects jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() to always make
a progress in cleaning the journal. Without it jbd2_journal_destroy()
just loops in an infinite loop.

Fix jbd2_journal_destroy() to cleanup journal checkpoint lists of
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() fails with error.

The current buffer is much too small if you have a relatively long
hostname. Bring it up to the size of the one that SETCLIENTID has.

commit 6f6a6fda294506dfe0e3e0a253bb2d2923f28f0a upstream.

If updating journal superblock fails after journal data has been
flushed, the error is omitted and this will mislead the caller as a
normal case.  In ocfs2, the checkpoint will be treated successfully
and the other node can get the lock to update. Since the sb_start is
still pointing to the old log block, it will rewrite the journal data
during journal recovery by the other node. Thus the new updates will
be overwritten and ocfs2 corrupts.  So in above case we have to return
the error, and ocfs2_commit_cache will take care of the error and
prevent the other node to do update first.  And only after recovering
journal it can do the new updates.

[ Fixed bug in patch which allowed a non-negative error return from
  jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() to leak out of jbd2_fjournal_flush(); this
  was causing xfstests ext4/306 to fail. -- Ted ]

commit 09c5b4803a80a5451d950d6a539d2eb311dc0fb1 upstream.

When the LPM policy is set to ATA_LPM_MAX_POWER, the device might
generate a spurious PHY event that cuases errors on the link.
Ignore this event if it occured within 10s after the policy change.

The timeout was chosen observing that on a Dell XPS13 9333 these
spurious events can occur up to roughly 6s after the policy change.

<title>nilfs2: fix sanity check of btree level in nilfs_btree_root_broken()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit d8fd150fe3935e1692bf57c66691e17409ebb9c1 upstream.

The range check for b-tree level parameter in nilfs_btree_root_broken()
is wrong; it accepts the case of "level == NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX" even
though the level is limited to values in the range of 0 to
(NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX - 1).

Since the level parameter is read from storage device and used to index
nilfs_btree_path array whose element count is NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX, it
can cause memory overrun during btree operations if the boundary value
is set to the level parameter on device.

This fixes the broken sanity check and adds a comment to clarify that
the upper bound NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX is exclusive.

(NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX - 1).

Since the level parameter is read from storage device and used to index
nilfs_btree_path array whose element count is NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX, it
can cause memory overrun during btree operations if the boundary value
is set to the level parameter on device.

This fixes the broken sanity check and adds a comment to clarify that
the upper bound NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX is exclusive.
