<content type='text'>
commit be27cd64461c45a6088a91a04eba5cd44e1767ef upstream.

As with the other strings in struct ext4_super_block, s_volume_name is
not NUL terminated. The other strings were marked in commit 072ebb3bffe6
("ext4: add nonstring annotations to ext4.h"). Using strscpy() isn't
the right replacement for strncpy(); it should use memtostr_pad()
instead.

<title>ext4: replace deprecated strncpy with alternatives</title>

<id>urn:sha1:744a56389f7398f286231e062c2e63f0de01bcc6</id>
<content type='text'>
strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.

in file.c:
s_last_mounted is marked as __nonstring meaning it does not need to be
NUL-terminated. Let's instead use strtomem_pad() to copy bytes from the
string source to the byte array destination -- while also ensuring to
pad with zeroes.

in ioctl.c:
We can drop the memset and size argument in favor of using the new
2-argument version of strscpy_pad() -- which was introduced with Commit
e6584c3964f2f ("string: Allow 2-argument strscpy()"). This guarantees
NUL-termination and NUL-padding on the destination buffer -- which seems
to be a requirement judging from this comment:

|	static int ext4_ioctl_getlabel(struct ext4_sb_info *sbi, char __user *user_label)
|	{
|		char label[EXT4_LABEL_MAX + 1];
|
|		/*
|		 * EXT4_LABEL_MAX must always be smaller than FSLABEL_MAX because
|		 * FSLABEL_MAX must include terminating null byte, while s_volume_name
|		 * does not have to.
|		 */

in super.c:
s_first_error_func is marked as __nonstring meaning we can take the same
approach as in file.c; just use strtomem_pad()

<title>ext4: remove unnecessary parameter "needed" in ext4_discard_preallocations</title>
<updated>2024-01-18T15:52:45Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=2ffd2a6ad1d3a8213bb5805f45f49098fe615db1'/>
<id>urn:sha1:2ffd2a6ad1d3a8213bb5805f45f49098fe615db1</id>
<content type='text'>
The "needed" controls the number of ext4_prealloc_space to discard in
ext4_discard_preallocations. Function ext4_discard_preallocations is
supposed to discard all non-used preallocated blocks when "needed"
is 0 and now ext4_discard_preallocations is always called with "needed"
= 0. Remove unnecessary parameter "needed" and remove all non-used
preallocated spaces in ext4_discard_preallocations to simplify the
code.

Note: If count of non-used preallocated spaces could be more than
UINT_MAX, there was a memory leak as some non-used preallocated
spaces are left ununsed and this commit will fix it. Otherwise,
there is no behavior change.

<content type='text'>
We have bdev_mark_dead() etc and we're going to move block device
freezing to holder ops in the next patch. Make the naming consistent:

* freeze_bdev() -&gt; bdev_freeze()
* thaw_bdev()   -&gt; bdev_thaw()

Also document the return code.

<content type='text'>
Currently ext4_forced_shutdown() takes struct ext4_sb_info but most
callers need to get it from struct super_block anyway. So just pass in
struct super_block to save all callers from some boilerplate code. No
functional changes.
