<title>ext4: Support for checksumming from journal triggers</title>

<id>188c299e2a26cc33747187f87c9e044dfd85a782</id>
<content type='text'>
JBD2 layer support triggers which are called when journaling layer moves
buffer to a certain state. We can use the frozen trigger, which gets
called when buffer data is frozen and about to be written out to the
journal, to compute block checksums for some buffer types (similarly as
does ocfs2). This avoids unnecessary repeated recomputation of the
checksum (at the cost of larger window where memory corruption won't be
caught by checksumming) and is even necessary when there are
unsynchronized updaters of the checksummed data.

So add superblock and journal trigger type arguments to
ext4_journal_get_write_access() and ext4_journal_get_create_access() so
that frozen triggers can be set accordingly. Also add inode argument to
ext4_walk_page_buffers() and all the callbacks used with that function
for the same purpose. This patch is mostly only a change of prototype of
the above mentioned functions and a few small helpers. Real checksumming
will come later.

Convert ext4 to use mapping-&gt;invalidate_lock instead of its private
EXT4_I(inode)-&gt;i_mmap_sem. This is mostly search-and-replace. By this
conversion we fix a long standing race between hole punching and read(2)
/ readahead(2) paths that can lead to stale page cache contents.

Eric has noticed that after pagecache read rework, generic/418 is
occasionally failing for ext4 when blocksize &lt; pagesize. In fact, the
pagecache rework just made hard to hit race in ext4 more likely. The
problem is that since ext4 conversion of direct IO writes to iomap
framework (commit 378f32bab371), we update inode size after direct IO
write only after invalidating page cache. Thus if buffered read sneaks
at unfortunate moment like:

CPU1 - write at offset 1k                       CPU2 - read from offset 0
iomap_dio_rw(..., IOMAP_DIO_FORCE_WAIT);
                                                ext4_readpage();
ext4_handle_inode_extension()

the read will zero out tail of the page as it still sees smaller inode
size and thus page cache becomes inconsistent with on-disk contents with
all the consequences.

Fix the problem by moving inode size update into end_io handler which
gets called before the page cache is invalidated.

Pass a set of flags to iomap_dio_rw instead of the boolean

When the first file is opened, ext4 samples the mountpoint of the
filesystem in 64 bytes of the super block.  It does so using
strlcpy(), this means that the remaining bytes in the super block
string buffer are untouched.  If the mount point before had a longer
path than the current one, it can be reconstructed.

Consider the case where the fs was mounted to "/media/johnjdeveloper"
and later to "/".  The super block buffer then contains
"/\x00edia/johnjdeveloper".

This case was seen in the wild and caused confusion how the name
of a developer ands up on the super block of a filesystem used
in production...

Fix this by using strncpy() instead of strlcpy().  The superblock
field is defined to be a fixed-size char array, and it is already
marked using __nonstring in fs/ext4/ext4.h.  The consumer of the field
in e2fsprogs already assumes that in the case of a 64+ byte mount
path, that s_last_mounted will not be NUL terminated.

The wrapper is now useless since it does what
ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() does. Just remove it.

Protect all superblock modifications (including checksum computation)
with a superblock buffer lock. That way we are sure computed checksum
matches current superblock contents (a mismatch could cause checksum
failures in nojournal mode or if an unjournalled superblock update races
with a journalled one). Also we avoid modifying superblock contents
while it is being written out (which can cause DIF/DIX failures if we
are running in nojournal mode).
