'ext4_ext_drop_refs()' is only used in 'extents.c', so make it static.

<title>ext4: recover csum seed of tmp_inode after migrating to extents</title>

<content type='text'>
When migrating to extents, the checksum seed of temporary inode
need to be replaced by inode's, otherwise the inode checksums
will be incorrect when swapping the inodes data.

However, the temporary inode can not match it's checksum to
itself since it has lost it's own checksum seed.

mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/sdc
mount /dev/sdc /mnt/sdc
xfs_io -fc "pwrite 4k 4k" -c "fsync" /mnt/sdc/testfile
chattr -e /mnt/sdc/testfile
chattr +e /mnt/sdc/testfile
umount /dev/sdc
fsck -fn /dev/sdc

========
...
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Inode 13 passes checks, but checksum does not match inode.  Fix? no
...
========

The fix is simple, save the checksum seed of temporary inode, and
recover it after migrating to extents.

<title>ext4: don't use the orphan list when migrating an inode</title>

We probably want to remove the indirect block to extents migration
feature after a deprecation window, but until then, let's fix a
potential data loss problem caused by the fact that we put the
tmp_inode on the orphan list.  In the unlikely case where we crash and
do a journal recovery, the data blocks belonging to the inode being
migrated are also represented in the tmp_inode on the orphan list ---
and so its data blocks will get marked unallocated, and available for
reuse.

Instead, stop putting the tmp_inode on the oprhan list.  So in the
case where we crash while migrating the inode, we'll leak an inode,
which is not a disaster.  It will be easily fixed the next time we run
fsck, and it's better than potentially having blocks getting claimed
by two different files, and losing data as a result.

fsck, and it's better than potentially having blocks getting claimed
by two different files, and losing data as a result.

<title>ext4: set csum seed in tmp inode while migrating to extents</title>

When migrating to extents, the temporary inode will have it's own checksum
seed.  This means that, when swapping the inodes data, the inode checksums
will be incorrect.

This can be fixed by recalculating the extents checksums again.  Or simply
by copying the seed into the temporary inode.

<title>ext4: handle ext4_mark_inode_dirty errors</title>

ext4_mark_inode_dirty() can fail for real reasons. Ignoring its return
value may lead ext4 to ignore real failures that would result in
corruption / crashes. Harden ext4_mark_inode_dirty error paths to fail
as soon as possible and return errors to the caller whenever
appropriate.

One of the possible scnearios when this bug could affected is that
while creating a new inode, its directory entry gets added
successfully but while writing the inode itself mark_inode_dirty
returns error which is ignored. This would result in inconsistency
that the directory entry points to a non-existent inode.

Ran gce-xfstests smoke tests and verified that there were no
regressions.

<title>ext4: fix race between writepages and enabling EXT4_EXTENTS_FL</title>
<updated>2020-02-22T00:32:07+00:00</updated>

<id>cb85f4d23f794e24127f3e562cb3b54b0803f456</id>
<content type='text'>
If EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is set on an inode while ext4_writepages() is running
on it, the following warning in ext4_add_complete_io() can be hit:

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at fs/ext4/page-io.c:234 ext4_put_io_end_defer+0xf0/0x120

Here's a minimal reproducer (not 100% reliable) (root isn't required):

        while true; do
                sync
        done &amp;
        while true; do
                rm -f file
                touch file
                chattr -e file
                echo X &gt;&gt; file
                chattr +e file
        done

The problem is that in ext4_writepages(), ext4_should_dioread_nolock()
(which only returns true on extent-based files) is checked once to set
the number of reserved journal credits, and also again later to select
the flags for ext4_map_blocks() and copy the reserved journal handle to
ext4_io_end::handle.  But if EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is being concurrently set,
the first check can see dioread_nolock disabled while the later one can
see it enabled, causing the reserved handle to unexpectedly be NULL.

Since changing EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is uncommon, and there may be other races
related to doing so as well, fix this by synchronizing changing
EXT4_EXTENTS_FL with ext4_writepages() via the existing
s_writepages_rwsem (previously called s_journal_flag_rwsem).

This was originally reported by syzbot without a reproducer at
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=2202a584a00fffd19fbf,
but now that dioread_nolock is the default I also started seeing this
when running syzkaller locally.
