<content type='text'>
Prefer using IS_ERR_OR_NULL() over using IS_ERR() and a manual NULL
check.

IS_ERR_OR_NULL() already uses likely(!ptr) internally. checkpatch does
not like nesting it:
&gt; WARNING: nested (un)?likely() calls, IS_ERR_OR_NULL already uses
&gt; unlikely() internally
Remove the explicit use of likely().

<title>btrfs: remove duplicated uuid tree existence check in btrfs_uuid_tree_add()</title>

<content type='text'>
There's no point in checking if the uuid root exists in
btrfs_uuid_tree_add(), since we already do it in btrfs_uuid_tree_lookup().
We can just remove the check from btrfs_uuid_tree_add() and make
btrfs_uuid_tree_lookup() return -EINVAL instead of -ENOENT in case the
uuid tree does not exists.

<title>btrfs: fix transaction abort on set received ioctl due to item overflow</title>

<id>urn:sha1:87f2c46003fce4d739138aab4af1942b1afdadac</id>
<content type='text'>
If the set received ioctl fails due to an item overflow when attempting to
add the BTRFS_UUID_KEY_RECEIVED_SUBVOL we have to abort the transaction
since we did some metadata updates before.

This means that if a user calls this ioctl with the same received UUID
field for a lot of subvolumes, we will hit the overflow, trigger the
transaction abort and turn the filesystem into RO mode. A malicious user
could exploit this, and this ioctl does not even requires that a user
has admin privileges (CAP_SYS_ADMIN), only that he/she owns the subvolume.

Fix this by doing an early check for item overflow before starting a
transaction. This is also race safe because we are holding the subvol_sem
semaphore in exclusive (write) mode.

A test case for fstests will follow soon.

<title>btrfs: remove pointless out labels from uuid-tree.c</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1038614e8f2c045561db0cf2b064a0e5cb909a1c</id>
<content type='text'>
Some functions (btrfs_uuid_iter_rem() and btrfs_check_uuid_tree_entry())
have an 'out' label that does nothing but return, making it pointless.
Simplify this by removing the label and returning instead of gotos plus
setting the 'ret' variable.

<content type='text'>
The call to btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty() at btrfs_uuid_tree_add() is not
necessary as we have a path setup for writing with btrfs_search_slot()
having a 'cow' argument set to 1 (through btrfs_insert_empty_item()).

This just makes the code more verbose, confusing and add a little extra
overhead and well as increase the module's text size, so remove it.

asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h;
might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include
that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header.

We can add const to many parameters, this is for clarity and minor
addition to safety. There are some minor effects, in the assembly
code and .ko measured on release config. This patch does not cover all
possible conversions.

The error values returned by btrfs_insert_empty_items() are following
the common patter of 0/-errno, but some callers check for a value &gt; 0,
which can't happen. Document that and update calls to not expect
positive values.
