      allow in-inode EAs on ext4 root inode · 0040d987
      Eric Sandeen authored
      The ext3 root inode was treated specially with respect
      to in-inode extended attributes, for reasons detailed
      in the removed comment below.  The first mkfs-created
      inodes would not get extra_i_size or the EXT3_STATE_XATTR
      flag set in ext3_read_inode, which disallowed reading or
      setting in-inode EAs on the root.
      
      However, in ext4, ext4_mark_inode_dirty calls
      ext4_expand_extra_isize for all inodes; once this is done
      EAs may be placed in the root ext4 inode body.
      
      But for reasons above, it won't be found after a reboot.
      
      testcase:
      
      setfattr -n user.name -v value mntpt/
      setfattr -n user.name2 -v value2 mntpt/
      umount mntpt/; remount mntpt/
      getfattr -d mntpt/
      
      name2/value2 has gone missing; debugfs shows it in the
      inode body, but it is not found there by getattr.
      
      The following fixes it up; newer mkfs appears to properly
      zero the inodes, so this workaround isn't needed for ext4.

      jbd2: Add error check to journal_wait_on_commit_record to avoid oops · b048d846
      Mingming Cao authored
      The buffer head pointer passed to journal_wait_on_commit_record() could
      be NULL if the previous journal_submit_commit_record() failed or journal
      has already aborted.
      
      Looking at the jbd2 debug messages, before the oops happened, the jbd2
      is aborted due to trying to access the next log block beyond the end
      of device. This might be caused by using a corrupted image.
      
      We need to check the error returns from journal_submit_commit_record()
      and avoid calling journal_wait_on_commit_record() in the failure case.
      
      This addresses Kernel Bugzilla #9849
