[ Upstream commit cc5095747edfb054ca2068d01af20be3fcc3634f ]

[un]pin_user_pages_remote is dirtying pages without properly warning
the file system in advance.  A related race was noted by Jan Kara in
2018[1]; however, more recently instead of it being a very hard-to-hit
race, it could be reliably triggered by process_vm_writev(2) which was
discovered by Syzbot[2].

This is technically a bug in mm/gup.c, but arguably ext4 is fragile in
that if some other kernel subsystem dirty pages without properly
notifying the file system using page_mkwrite(), ext4 will BUG, while
other file systems will not BUG (although data will still be lost).

So instead of crashing with a BUG, issue a warning (since there may be
potential data loss) and just mark the page as clean to avoid
unprivileged denial of service attacks until the problem can be
properly fixed.  More discussion and background can be found in the
thread starting at [2].

<title>ext4: fix ext4_mb_mark_bb() with flex_bg with fast_commit</title>

[ Upstream commit bfdc502a4a4c058bf4cbb1df0c297761d528f54d ]

In case of flex_bg feature (which is by default enabled), extents for
any given inode might span across blocks from two different block group.
ext4_mb_mark_bb() only reads the buffer_head of block bitmap once for the
starting block group, but it fails to read it again when the extent length
boundary overflows to another block group. Then in this below loop it
accesses memory beyond the block group bitmap buffer_head and results
into a data abort.

	for (i = 0; i &lt; clen; i++)
		if (!mb_test_bit(blkoff + i, bitmap_bh-&gt;b_data) == !state)
			already++;

This patch adds this functionality for checking block group boundary in
ext4_mb_mark_bb() and update the buffer_head(bitmap_bh) for every different
block group.

w/o this patch, I was easily able to hit a data access abort using Power platform.

[ Upstream commit a5c0e2fdf7cea535ba03259894dc184e5a4c2800 ]

ext4_mb_mark_bb() currently wrongly calculates cluster len (clen) and
flex_group-&gt;free_clusters. This patch fixes that.

Identified based on code review of ext4_mb_mark_bb() function.

commit 077d0c2c78df6f7260cdd015a991327efa44d8ad upstream.

Currently mb_optimize_scan scan feature which improves filesystem
performance heavily (when FS is fragmented), seems to be not working
with files with extents (ext4 by default has files with extents).

This patch fixes that and makes mb_optimize_scan feature work
for files with extents.

Below are some performance numbers obtained when allocating a 10M and 100M
file with and w/o this patch on a filesytem with no 1M contiguous block.

commit 7aab5c84a0f6ec2290e2ba4a6b245178b1bf949a upstream.

We inject IO error when rmdir non empty direcory, then got issue as follows:
step1: mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/sda
step2: mount /dev/sda  test
step3: cd test
step4: mkdir -p 1/2
step5: rmdir 1
	[  110.920551] ext4_empty_dir: inject fault
	[  110.921926] EXT4-fs warning (device sda): ext4_rmdir:3113: inode #12:
	comm rmdir: empty directory '1' has too many links (3)
step6: cd ..
step7: umount test
step8: fsck.ext4 -f /dev/sda
	e2fsck 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
	Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
	Pass 2: Checking directory structure
	Entry '..' in .../??? (13) has deleted/unused inode 12.  Clear&lt;y&gt;? yes
	Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
	Unconnected directory inode 13 (...)
	Connect to /lost+found&lt;y&gt;? yes
	Pass 4: Checking reference counts
	Inode 13 ref count is 3, should be 2.  Fix&lt;y&gt;? yes
	Pass 5: Checking group summary information

	/dev/sda: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
	/dev/sda: 12/131072 files (0.0% non-contiguous), 26157/524288 blocks

ext4_rmdir
	if (!ext4_empty_dir(inode))
		goto end_rmdir;
ext4_empty_dir
	bh = ext4_read_dirblock(inode, 0, DIRENT_HTREE);
	if (IS_ERR(bh))
		return true;
Now if read directory block failed, 'ext4_empty_dir' will return true, assume
directory is empty. Obviously, it will lead to above issue.
To solve this issue, if read directory block failed 'ext4_empty_dir' just
return false. To avoid making things worse when file system is already
corrupted, 'ext4_empty_dir' also return false.

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.

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.

[ Upstream commit 0915e464cb274648e1ef1663e1356e53ff400983 ]

Move fast commit stats updating logic to a separate function from
ext4_fc_commit(). This significantly improves readability of
ext4_fc_commit().

[ Upstream commit 7bbbe241ec7ce0def9f71464c878fdbd2b0dcf37 ]

This patch drops ext4_fc_start_ineligible() and
ext4_fc_stop_ineligible() APIs. Fast commit ineligible transactions
should simply call ext4_fc_mark_ineligible() after starting the
trasaction.
