fs/ext4: fix comments mentioning i_mutex

inode->i_mutex has been replaced with inode->i_rwsem long ago. Fix
comments still mentioning i_mutex.

ext4: fix incorrect type issue during replay_del_range

2022-02-03T15:57:53+00:00

should not use fast commit log data directly, add le32_to_cpu().

ext4: fix potential NULL pointer dereference in ext4_fill_super()

2022-02-03T15:57:44+00:00

By mistake we fail to return an error from ext4_fill_super() in case
that ext4_alloc_sbi() fails to allocate a new sbi. Instead we just set
the ret variable and allow the function to continue which will later
lead to a NULL pointer dereference. Fix it by returning -ENOMEM in the
case ext4_alloc_sbi() fails.

ext4: fix error handling in ext4_fc_record_modified_inode()

2022-02-03T15:57:30+00:00

Current code does not fully takes care of krealloc() error case, which
could lead to silent memory corruption or a kernel bug.  This patch
fixes that.

Also it cleans up some duplicated error handling logic from various
functions in fast_commit.c file.

ext4: remove redundant max inline_size check in ext4_da_write_inline_data_begin()

2022-02-03T15:57:30+00:00

ext4_prepare_inline_data() already checks for ext4_get_max_inline_size()
and returns -ENOSPC. So there is no need to check it twice within
ext4_da_write_inline_data_begin(). This patch removes the extra check.

It also makes it more clean.

No functionality change in this patch.

ext4: fix error handling in ext4_restore_inline_data()

2022-02-03T15:57:20+00:00

While running "./check -I 200 generic/475" it sometimes gives below
kernel BUG(). Ideally we should not call ext4_write_inline_data() if
ext4_create_inline_data() has failed.


[73131.453234] kernel BUG at fs/ext4/inline.c:223!


 212 static void ext4_write_inline_data(struct inode *inode, struct ext4_iloc *iloc,
 213                                    void *buffer, loff_t pos, unsigned int len)

 224         BUG_ON(pos + len > EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_size);

This patch handles the error and prints out a emergency msg saying potential
data loss for the given inode (since we couldn't restore the original
inline_data due to some previous error).

ext4: fast commit may miss file actions
2022-02-03T15:57:02+00:00

in the follow scenario:
1. jbd start transaction n
2. task A get new handle for transaction n+1
3. task A do some actions and add inode to FC_Q_MAIN fc_q
4. jbd complete transaction n and clear FC_Q_MAIN fc_q
5. task A call fsync

Fast commit will lost the file actions during a full commit.

we should also add updates to staging queue during a full commit.
and in ext4_fc_cleanup(), when reset a inode's fc track range, check
it's i_sync_tid, if it bigger than current transaction tid, do not
rest it, or we will lost the track range.

And EXT4_MF_FC_COMMITTING is not needed anymore, so drop it.

ext4: fast commit may not fallback for ineligible commit
2022-02-03T15:56:39+00:00

For the follow scenario:
1. jbd start commit transaction n
2. task A get new handle for transaction n+1
3. task A do some ineligible actions and mark FC_INELIGIBLE
4. jbd complete transaction n and clean FC_INELIGIBLE
5. task A call fsync

In this case fast commit will not fallback to full commit and
transaction n+1 also not handled by jbd.

Make ext4_fc_mark_ineligible() also record transaction tid for
latest ineligible case, when call ext4_fc_cleanup() check
current transaction tid, if small than latest ineligible tid
do not clear the EXT4_MF_FC_INELIGIBLE.

ext4: modify the logic of ext4_mb_new_blocks_simple
2022-02-03T15:56:24+00:00

For now in ext4_mb_new_blocks_simple, if we found a block which
should be excluded then will switch to next group, this may
probably cause 'group' run out of range.

Change to check next block in the same group when get a block should
be excluded. Also change the search range to EXT4_CLUSTERS_PER_GROUP
and add error checking.
