When trying to mount a file system which does not contain a journal, but which does have a orphan list containing an inode which needs to be truncated, the mount call with hang forever in ext4_orphan_cleanup() because ext4_orphan_del() will return immediately without removing the inode from the orphan list, leading to an uninterruptible loop in kernel code which will busy out one of the CPU's on the system. This can be trivially reproduced by trying to mount the file system found in tests/f_orphan_extents_inode/image.gz from the e2fsprogs source tree. If a malicious user were to put this on a USB stick, and mount it on a Linux desktop which has automatic mounts enabled, this could be considered a potential denial of service attack. (Not a big deal in practice, but professional paranoids worry about such things, and have even been known to allocate CVE numbers for such problems.)

Commit c278531d added a warning when ext4_flush_unwritten_io() is called without i_mutex being taken. It had previously not been taken during orphan cleanup since races weren't possible at that point in the mount process, but as a result of this c278531d, we will now see a kernel WARN_ON in this case. Take the i_mutex in ext4_orphan_cleanup() to suppress this warning.

When a journal-less ext4 filesystem is mounted on a read-only block device (blockdev --setro will do), each remount (for other, unrelated, flags, like suid=>nosuid etc) results in a series of scary messages from kernel telling about I/O errors on the device. This is becauese of the following code ext4_remount(): if (sbi->s_journal == NULL) ext4_commit_super(sb, 1); at the end of remount procedure, which forces writing (flushing) of a superblock regardless whenever it is dirty or not, if the filesystem is readonly or not, and whenever the device itself is readonly or not. We only need call ext4_commit_super when the file system had been previously mounted read/write. Thanks to Eric Sandeen for help in diagnosing this issue.

Although I put this in, I now think it was a bad decision. For most users, there is very little to be done in this case. They get the message, once per day, with no real context or proposed action. TBH, it generates support calls when it probably does not need to; the message sounds more dire than the situation really is. Just nuke it. Normal investigation via blktrace or whatnot can reveal poor IO patterns if bad performance is encountered.

We cannot wait for transaction commit in journal_unmap_buffer() because we hold page lock which ranks below transaction start. We solve the issue by bailing out of journal_unmap_buffer() and jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() with -EBUSY. Caller is then responsible for waiting for transaction commit to finish and try invalidation again. Since the issue can happen only for page stradding i_size, it is simple enough to manually call jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() for such page from ext4_setattr(), check the return value and wait if necessary.

Currently we allow enabling dioread_nolock mount option on remount for filesystems where blocksize < PAGE_CACHE_SIZE. This isn't really supported so fix the bug by moving the check for blocksize != PAGE_CACHE_SIZE into parse_options(). Change the original PAGE_SIZE to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE along the way because that's what we are really interested in.

Not all architectures (in particular, sparc64) have empty_zero_page. So instead of copying from empty_zero_page, use memset to clear the inline data by signalling to ext4_xattr_set_entry() via a magic pointer value, EXT4_ZERO_ATTR_VALUE, which is defined by casting -1 to a pointer. This fixes a build failure on sparc64, and the memset() should be more efficient than using memcpy() anyway. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@taobao.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

Flags being used by atomic operations in inode flags (e.g. ext4_test_inode_flag(), should be consistent with that actually stored in inodes, i.e.: EXT4_XXX_FL. It ensures that this consistency is checked at build-time, not at run-time. Currently, the flags consistency are being checked at run-time, but, there is no real reason to not do a build-time check instead of a run-time check. The code is comparing macro defined values with enum type variables, where both are constants, so, there is no problem in comparing constants at build-time. enum variables are treated as constants by the C compiler, according to the C99 specs (see www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1124.pdf sec. 6.2.5, item 16), so, there is no real problem in comparing an enumeration type at build time Signed-off-by: Carlos Maiolino <cmaiolino@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

Ted has sent out a RFC about removing this feature. Eric and Jan confirmed that both RedHat and SUSE enable this feature in all their product. David also said that "As far as I know, it's enabled in all Android kernels that use ext4." So it seems OK for us. And what's more, as inline data depends its implementation on xattr, and to be frank, I don't run any test again inline data enabled while xattr disabled. So I think we should add inline data and remove this config option in the same release. [ The savings if you disable CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR is only 27k, which isn't much in the grand scheme of things. Since no one seems to be testing this configuration except for some automated compile farms, on balance we are better removing this config option, and so that it is effectively always enabled. -- tytso ] Cc: David Brown <davidb@codeaurora.org> Cc: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@taobao.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

In case we rename a directory, ext4_rename has to read the dir block and change its dotdot's information. The old ext4_rename encapsulated the dir_block read into itself. So this patch adds a new function ext4_get_first_dir_block() which gets the dir buffer information so the ext4_rename can handle it properly. As it will also change the parent inode number, we return the parent_de so that ext4_rename() can handle it more easily. ext4_find_entry is also changed so that the caller(rename) can tell whether the found entry is an inlined one or not and journaling the corresponding buffer head.

This patch let add_dir_entry handle the inline data case. So the dir is initialized as inline dir first and then we can try to add some files to it, when the inline space can't hold all the entries, a dir block will be created and the dir entry will be moved to it. Also for an inlined dir, "." and ".." are removed and we only use 4 bytes to store the parent inode number. These 2 entries will be added when we convert an inline dir to a block-based one.
