<title>ext4: handle symlink properly with inline_data</title>

<id>bd9db175dde14b606265e0d37e8319d96fe1a58f</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit tries to fix a bug that we can't read symlink properly with
inline data feature when the length of symlink is greater than 60 bytes
but less than extra space.

The key issue is in ext4_inode_is_fast_symlink() that it doesn't check
whether or not an inode has inline data.  When the user creates a new
symlink, an inode will be allocated with MAY_INLINE_DATA flag.  Then
symlink will be stored in -&gt;i_block and extended attribute space.  In
the mean time, this inode is with inline data flag.  After remounting
it, ext4_inode_is_fast_symlink() function thinks that this inode is a
fast symlink so that the data in -&gt;i_block is copied to the user, and
the data in extra space is trimmed.  In fact this inode should be as a
normal symlink.

The following script can hit this bug.

  #!/bin/bash

  cd ${MNT}
  filename=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789
  rm -rf test
  mkdir test
  cd test
  echo "hello" &gt;$filename
  ln -s $filename symlinkfile
  cd
  sudo umount /mnt/sda1
  sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
  readlink /mnt/sda1/test/symlinkfile

After applying this patch, it will break the assumption in e2fsck
because the original implementation doesn't want to support symlink
with inline data.

<title>ext4: fix data integrity sync in ordered mode</title>

<id>1c8349a17137b93f0a83f276c764a6df1b9a116e</id>
<content type='text'>
When we perform a data integrity sync we tag all the dirty pages with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE at start of ext4_da_writepages.  Later we check
for this tag in write_cache_pages_da and creates a struct
mpage_da_data containing contiguously indexed pages tagged with this
tag and sync these pages with a call to mpage_da_map_and_submit.  This
process is done in while loop until all the PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE
pages are synced. We also do journal start and stop in each iteration.
journal_stop could initiate journal commit which would call
ext4_writepage which in turn will call ext4_bio_write_page even for
delayed OR unwritten buffers. When ext4_bio_write_page is called for
such buffers, even though it does not sync them but it clears the
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE of the corresponding page and hence these pages
are also not synced by the currently running data integrity sync. We
will end up with dirty pages although sync is completed.

This could cause a potential data loss when the sync call is followed
by a truncate_pagecache call, which is exactly the case in
collapse_range.  (It will cause generic/127 failure in xfstests)

To avoid this issue, we can use set_page_writeback_keepwrite instead of
set_page_writeback, which doesn't clear TOWRITE tag.
