commit 9aa5d32ba269bec0e7eaba2697a986a7b0bc8528 upstream.

Besides the fact that this replacement improves code readability
it also protects from errors caused direct EXT4_S(sb)-&gt;s_es manipulation
which may result attempt to use uninitialized  csum machinery.

<content type='text'>
commit a0626e75954078cfacddb00a4545dde821170bc5 upstream.

When loading extended attributes, check each entry's value offset to
make sure it doesn't collide with the entries.

Without this check it is easy to crash the kernel by mounting a
malicious FS containing a file with an EA wherein e_value_offs = 0 and
e_value_size &gt; 0 and then deleting the EA, which corrupts the name
list.

(See the f_ea_value_crash test's FS image in e2fsprogs for an example.)

commit ec4cb1aa2b7bae18dd8164f2e9c7c51abcf61280 upstream.

When heavily exercising xattr code the assertion that
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() shouldn't return error was triggered:

The reason for the warning is that buffer_head passed into
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() didn't have journal_head attached. This is
caused by the following race of two ext4_xattr_release_block() calls:

CPU1                                CPU2
ext4_xattr_release_block()          ext4_xattr_release_block()
lock_buffer(bh);
/* False */
if (BHDR(bh)-&gt;h_refcount == cpu_to_le32(1))
} else {
  le32_add_cpu(&amp;BHDR(bh)-&gt;h_refcount, -1);
  unlock_buffer(bh);
                                    lock_buffer(bh);
                                    /* True */
                                    if (BHDR(bh)-&gt;h_refcount == cpu_to_le32(1))
                                      get_bh(bh);
                                      ext4_free_blocks()
                                        ...
                                        jbd2_journal_forget()
                                          jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer()
                                          -&gt; JH is gone
  error = ext4_handle_dirty_xattr_block(handle, inode, bh);
  -&gt; triggers the warning

We fix the problem by moving ext4_handle_dirty_xattr_block() under the
buffer lock. Sadly this cannot be done in nojournal mode as that
function can call sync_dirty_buffer() which would deadlock. Luckily in
nojournal mode the race is harmless (we only dirty already freed buffer)
and thus for nojournal mode we leave the dirtying outside of the buffer
lock.

<content type='text'>
If we take the 2nd retry path in ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea, we
potentionally return from the function without having freed these
allocations.  If we don't do the return, we over-write the previous
allocation pointers, so we leak either way.

Spotted with Coverity.

[ Fixed by tytso to set is and bs to NULL after freeing these
  pointers, in case in the retry loop we later end up triggering an
  error causing a jump to cleanup, at which point we could have a double
  free bug. -- Ted ]

<title>ext4: fix xattr block allocation/release with bigalloc</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1231b3a1eb5740192aeebf5344dd6d6da000febf</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently when new xattr block is created or released we we would call
dquot_free_block() or dquot_alloc_block() respectively, among the else
decrementing or incrementing the number of blocks assigned to the
inode by one block.

This however does not work for bigalloc file system because we always
allocate/free the whole cluster so we have to count with that in
dquot_free_block() and dquot_alloc_block() as well.

Use the clusters-to-blocks conversion EXT4_C2B() when passing number of
blocks to the dquot_alloc/free functions to fix the problem.

The problem has been revealed by xfstests #117 (and possibly others).

<title>ext4: fix the number of credits needed for acl ops with inline data</title>

<id>urn:sha1:95eaefbdececae5e781d76d03fe7472a857c8c7a</id>
<content type='text'>
Operations which modify extended attributes may need extra journal
credits if inline data is used, since there is a chance that some
extended attributes may need to get pushed to an external attribute
block.

Changes to reflect this was made in xattr.c, but they were missed in
fs/ext4/acl.c.  To fix this, abstract the calculation of the number of
credits needed for xattr operations to an inline function defined in
ext4_jbd2.h, and use it in acl.c and xattr.c.

Also move the function declarations used in inline.c from xattr.h
(where they are non-obviously hidden, and caused problems since
ext4_jbd2.h needs to use the function ext4_has_inline_data), and move
them to ext4.h.

<title>ext4: pass context information to jbd2__journal_start()</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=9924a92a8c217576bd2a2b1bbbb854462f1a00ae'/>
<id>urn:sha1:9924a92a8c217576bd2a2b1bbbb854462f1a00ae</id>
<content type='text'>
So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for
long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass
context information for logging purposes.

The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is:

   T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
   EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats
   echo "interval &gt; 5" &gt; $EVENT/filter
   echo 1 &gt; $EVENT/enable

   ./run-my-fs-benchmark

   cat $T/trace &gt; /tmp/problem-handles

This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms.  Having
longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong
time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an
fsync() or an O_SYNC operation.  Here is an example line from the
trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over
1.2 seconds:

postmark-2917  [000] ....   196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32 
   tid 570 type 2 line_no 2541 interval 311 sync 0 requested_blocks 1
   dirtied_blocks 0
