      ext4: fix deadlock when writing in ENOSPC conditions · 34cf865d
      Jan Kara authored
      Akira-san has been reporting rare deadlocks of his machine when running
      xfstests test 269 on ext4 filesystem. The problem turned out to be in
      ext4_da_reserve_metadata() and ext4_da_reserve_space() which called
      ext4_should_retry_alloc() while holding i_data_sem. Since
      ext4_should_retry_alloc() can force a transaction commit, this is a
      lock ordering violation and leads to deadlocks.
      
      Fix the problem by just removing the retry loops. These functions should
      just report ENOSPC to the caller (e.g. ext4_da_write_begin()) and that
      function must take care of retrying after dropping all necessary locks.

      ext4: check for overlapping extents in ext4_valid_extent_entries() · 5946d089
      Eryu Guan authored
      A corrupted ext4 may have out of order leaf extents, i.e.
      
      extent: lblk 0--1023, len 1024, pblk 9217, flags: LEAF UNINIT
      extent: lblk 1000--2047, len 1024, pblk 10241, flags: LEAF UNINIT
                   ^^^^ overlap with previous extent
      
      Reading such extent could hit BUG_ON() in ext4_es_cache_extent().
      
      	BUG_ON(end < lblk);
      
      The problem is that __read_extent_tree_block() tries to cache holes as
      well but assumes 'lblk' is greater than 'prev' and passes underflowed
      length to ext4_es_cache_extent(). Fix it by checking for overlapping
      extents in ext4_valid_extent_entries().
      
      I hit this when fuzz testing ext4, and am able to reproduce it by
      modifying the on-disk extent by hand.
      
      Also add the check for (ee_block + len - 1) in ext4_valid_extent() to
      make sure the value is not overflow.
      
      Ran xfstests on patched ext4 and no regression.

      ext4: call ext4_error_inode() if jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() fails · ae1495b1
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      While it's true that errors can only happen if there is a bug in
      jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), if a bug does happen, we need to halt
      the kernel or remount the file system read-only in order to avoid
      further data loss.  The ext4_journal_abort_handle() function doesn't
      do any of this, and while it's likely that this call (since it doesn't
      adjust refcounts) will likely result in the file system eventually
      deadlocking since the current transaction will never be able to close,
      it's much cleaner to call let ext4's error handling system deal with
      this situation.
      
      There's a separate bug here which is that if certain jbd2 errors
      errors occur and file system is mounted errors=continue, the file
      system will probably eventually end grind to a halt as described
      above.  But things have been this way in a long time, and usually when
      we have these sorts of errors it's pretty much a disaster --- and
      that's why the jbd2 layer aggressively retries memory allocations,
      which is the most likely cause of these jbd2 errors.

      This fixes a possible inode_permission NULL pointer dereference (and
      other problems) that were due to the root dentry count being decremented
      too much.  In commit 48a066e7 ("RCU'd vfsmounts") the placement of
      clearing the LOOKUP_RCU bit changed, and we then returned failure of
      incrementing the lockref on the parent dentry with LOOKUP_RCU cleared.
      
      But that meant we needed to go through the same cleanup routines that
      the later failures did wrt LOOKUP_ROOT and nd->root.

      arm64: Move PTE_PROT_NONE higher up · 3676f9ef
      Catalin Marinas authored
      PTE_PROT_NONE means that a pte is present but does not have any
      read/write attributes. However, setting the memory type like
      pgprot_writecombine() is allowed and such bits overlap with
      PTE_PROT_NONE. This causes mmap/munmap issues in drivers that change the
      vma->vm_pg_prot on PROT_NONE mappings.
      
      This patch reverts the PTE_FILE/PTE_PROT_NONE shift in commit
      59911ca4 (ARM64: mm: Move PTE_PROT_NONE bit) and moves PTE_PROT_NONE
      together with the other software bits.

      Failure to grab reference to parent dentry should go through the
