ext4: don't perform block validity checks on the journal inode

2019-05-22T14:27:01+00:00

Since the journal inode is already checked when we added it to the
block validity's system zone, if we check it again, we'll just trigger
a failure.

This was causing failures like this:

[   53.897001] EXT4-fs error (device sda): ext4_find_extent:909: inode
#8: comm jbd2/sda-8: pblk 121667583 bad header/extent: invalid extent entries - magic f30a, entries 8, max 340(340), depth 0(0)
[   53.931430] jbd2_journal_bmap: journal block not found at offset 49 on sda-8
[   53.938480] Aborting journal on device sda-8.

... but only if the system was under enough memory pressure that
logical->physical mapping for the journal inode gets pushed out of the
extent cache.  (This is why it wasn't noticed earlier.)

ext4: zero out the unused memory region in the extent tree block

2019-05-10T23:28:06+00:00

This commit zeroes out the unused memory region in the buffer_head
corresponding to the extent metablock after writing the extent header
and the corresponding extent node entries.

This is done to prevent random uninitialized data from getting into
the filesystem when the extent block is synced.

This fixes CVE-2019-11833.

ext4: fix bigalloc cluster freeing when hole punching under load

2019-03-01T04:34:11+00:00

Ext4 may not free clusters correctly when punching holes in bigalloc
file systems under high load conditions.  If it's not possible to
extend and restart the journal in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() when preparing to
remove blocks from a punched region, a retry of the entire punch
operation is triggered in ext4_ext_remove_space().  This causes a
partial cluster to be set to the first cluster in the extent found to
the right of the punched region.  However, if the punch operation
prior to the retry had made enough progress to delete one or more
extents and a partial cluster candidate for freeing had already been
recorded, the retry would overwrite the partial cluster.  The loss of
this information makes it impossible to correctly free the original
partial cluster in all cases.

This bug can cause generic/476 to fail when run as part of
xfstests-bld's bigalloc and bigalloc_1k test cases.  The failure is
reported when e2fsck detects bad iblocks counts greater than expected
in units of whole clusters and also detects a number of negative block
bitmap differences equal to the iblocks discrepancy in cluster units.

ext4: cleanup clean_bdev_aliases() calls

2019-02-11T04:32:07+00:00

Now, we have already handle all cases of forgetting buffer in
jbd2_journal_forget(), the buffer should not be mapped to blockdevice
when reallocating it. So this patch remove all clean_bdev_aliases() and
clean_bdev_bh_alias() calls which were invoked by ext4 explicitly.

ext4: adjust reserved cluster count when removing extents

2018-10-01T18:25:08+00:00

Modify ext4_ext_remove_space() and the code it calls to correct the
reserved cluster count for pending reservations (delayed allocated
clusters shared with allocated blocks) when a block range is removed
from the extent tree.  Pending reservations may be found for the clusters
at the ends of written or unwritten extents when a block range is removed.
If a physical cluster at the end of an extent is freed, it's necessary
to increment the reserved cluster count to maintain correct accounting
if the corresponding logical cluster is shared with at least one
delayed and unwritten extent as found in the extents status tree.

Add a new function, ext4_rereserve_cluster(), to reapply a reservation
on a delayed allocated cluster sharing blocks with a freed allocated
cluster.  To avoid ENOSPC on reservation, a flag is applied to
ext4_free_blocks() to briefly defer updating the freeclusters counter
when an allocated cluster is freed.  This prevents another thread
from allocating the freed block before the reservation can be reapplied.

Redefine the partial cluster object as a struct to carry more state
information and to clarify the code using it.

Adjust the conditional code structure in ext4_ext_remove_space to
reduce the indentation level in the main body of the code to improve
readability.

ext4: reduce reserved cluster count by number of allocated clusters

2018-10-01T18:24:08+00:00

Ext4 does not always reduce the reserved cluster count by the number
of clusters allocated when mapping a delayed extent.  It sometimes
adds back one or more clusters after allocation if delalloc blocks
adjacent to the range allocated by ext4_ext_map_blocks() share the
clusters newly allocated for that range.  However, this overcounts
the number of clusters needed to satisfy future mapping requests
(holding one or more reservations for clusters that have already been
allocated) and premature ENOSPC and quota failures, etc., result.

Ext4 also does not reduce the reserved cluster count when allocating
clusters for non-delayed allocated writes that have previously been
reserved for delayed writes.  This also results in overcounts.

To make it possible to handle reserved cluster accounting for
fallocated regions in the same manner as used for other non-delayed
writes, do the reserved cluster accounting for them at the time of
allocation.  In the current code, this is only done later when a
delayed extent sharing the fallocated region is finally mapped.

Address comment correcting handling of unsigned long long constant
from Jan Kara's review of RFC version of this patch.

ext4: fix reserved cluster accounting at delayed write time

2018-10-01T18:19:37+00:00

The code in ext4_da_map_blocks sometimes reserves space for more
delayed allocated clusters than it should, resulting in premature
ENOSPC, exceeded quota, and inaccurate free space reporting.

Fix this by checking for written and unwritten blocks shared in the
same cluster with the newly delayed allocated block.  A cluster
reservation should not be made for a cluster for which physical space
has already been allocated.

ext4: generalize extents status tree search functions

2018-10-01T18:10:39+00:00

Ext4 contains a few functions that are used to search for delayed
extents or blocks in the extents status tree.  Rather than duplicate
code to add new functions to search for extents with different status
values, such as written or a combination of delayed and unwritten,
generalize the existing code to search for caller-specified extents
status values.  Also, move this code into extents_status.c where it
is better associated with the data structures it operates upon, and
where it can be more readily used to implement new extents status tree
functions that might want a broader scope for i_es_lock.

Three missing static specifiers in RFC version of patch reported and
fixed by Fengguang Wu .
