<content type='text'>
Using a separate function, ext4_set_errno() to set the errno is
problematic because it doesn't do the right thing once
s_last_error_errorcode is non-zero.  It's also less racy to set all of
the error information all at once.  (Also, as a bonus, it shrinks code
size slightly.)

<title>ext4: remove EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL and associated code</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-linux/commit/?id=4337ecd1fe997d2b2135b4434caaccdb47c10c06'/>
<id>urn:sha1:4337ecd1fe997d2b2135b4434caaccdb47c10c06</id>
<content type='text'>
The EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL inode flag is used to indicate whether a file
contains unwritten blocks past i_size.  It's set when ext4_fallocate
is called with the KEEP_SIZE flag to extend a file with an unwritten
extent.  However, this flag hasn't been useful functionally since
March, 2012, when a decision was made to remove it from ext4.

All traces of EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL were removed from e2fsprogs version
1.42.2 by commit 010dc7b90d97 ("e2fsck: remove EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL flag
handling") at that time.  Now that enough time has passed to make
e2fsprogs versions containing this modification common, this patch now
removes the code associated with EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL from the kernel as
well.

This change has two implications.  First, because pre-1.42.2 e2fsck
versions only look for a problem if EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL is set, and
because that bit will never be set by newer kernels containing this
patch, old versions of e2fsck won't have a compatibility problem with
files created by newer kernels.

Second, newer kernels will not clear EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL inode flag bits
belonging to a file written by an older kernel.  If set, it will remain
in that state until the file is deleted.  Because e2fsck versions since
1.42.2 don't check the flag at all, no adverse effect is expected.
However, pre-1.42.2 e2fsck versions that do check the flag may report
that it is set when it ought not to be after a file has been truncated
or had its unwritten blocks written.  In this case, the old version of
e2fsck will offer to clear the flag.  No adverse effect would then
occur whether the user chooses to clear the flag or not.

<title>ext4: fix race between writepages and enabling EXT4_EXTENTS_FL</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-linux/commit/?id=cb85f4d23f794e24127f3e562cb3b54b0803f456'/>
<id>urn:sha1:cb85f4d23f794e24127f3e562cb3b54b0803f456</id>
<content type='text'>
If EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is set on an inode while ext4_writepages() is running
on it, the following warning in ext4_add_complete_io() can be hit:

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at fs/ext4/page-io.c:234 ext4_put_io_end_defer+0xf0/0x120

Here's a minimal reproducer (not 100% reliable) (root isn't required):

        while true; do
                sync
        done &amp;
        while true; do
                rm -f file
                touch file
                chattr -e file
                echo X &gt;&gt; file
                chattr +e file
        done

The problem is that in ext4_writepages(), ext4_should_dioread_nolock()
(which only returns true on extent-based files) is checked once to set
the number of reserved journal credits, and also again later to select
the flags for ext4_map_blocks() and copy the reserved journal handle to
ext4_io_end::handle.  But if EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is being concurrently set,
the first check can see dioread_nolock disabled while the later one can
see it enabled, causing the reserved handle to unexpectedly be NULL.

Since changing EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is uncommon, and there may be other races
related to doing so as well, fix this by synchronizing changing
EXT4_EXTENTS_FL with ext4_writepages() via the existing
s_writepages_rwsem (previously called s_journal_flag_rwsem).

This was originally reported by syzbot without a reproducer at
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=2202a584a00fffd19fbf,
but now that dioread_nolock is the default I also started seeing this
when running syzkaller locally.

<title>ext4: fix potential race between s_flex_groups online resizing and access</title>

During an online resize an array of s_flex_groups structures gets replaced
so it can get enlarged. If there is a concurrent access to the array and
this memory has been reused then this can lead to an invalid memory access.

The s_flex_group array has been converted into an array of pointers rather
than an array of structures. This is to ensure that the information
contained in the structures cannot get out of sync during a resize due to
an accessor updating the value in the old structure after it has been
copied but before the array pointer is updated. Since the structures them-
selves are no longer copied but only the pointers to them this case is
mitigated.

During an online resize an array of pointers to buffer heads gets
replaced so it can get enlarged.  If there is a racing block
allocation or deallocation which uses the old array, and the old array
has gotten reused this can lead to a GPF or some other random kernel
memory getting modified.

<title>ext4: fix checksum errors with indexed dirs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:48a34311953d921235f4d7bbd2111690d2e469cf</id>
<content type='text'>
DIR_INDEX has been introduced as a compat ext4 feature. That means that
even kernels / tools that don't understand the feature may modify the
filesystem. This works because for kernels not understanding indexed dir
format, internal htree nodes appear just as empty directory entries.
Index dir aware kernels then check the htree structure is still
consistent before using the data. This all worked reasonably well until
metadata checksums were introduced. The problem is that these
effectively made DIR_INDEX only ro-compatible because internal htree
nodes store checksums in a different place than normal directory blocks.
Thus any modification ignorant to DIR_INDEX (or just clearing
EXT4_INDEX_FL from the inode) will effectively cause checksum mismatch
and trigger kernel errors. So we have to be more careful when dealing
with indexed directories on filesystems with checksumming enabled.

1) We just disallow loading any directory inodes with EXT4_INDEX_FL when
DIR_INDEX is not enabled. This is harsh but it should be very rare (it
means someone disabled DIR_INDEX on existing filesystem and didn't run
e2fsck), e2fsck can fix the problem, and we don't want to answer the
difficult question: "Should we rather corrupt the directory more or
should we ignore that DIR_INDEX feature is not set?"

2) When we find out htree structure is corrupted (but the filesystem and
the directory should in support htrees), we continue just ignoring htree
information for reading but we refuse to add new entries to the
directory to avoid corrupting it more.

As Jan pointed out[1], as of commit 81378da64de ("jbd2: mark the
transaction context with the scope GFP_NOFS context") we use
memalloc_nofs_{save,restore}() while a jbd2 handle is active.  So
ext4_kvmalloc() so we can call allocate using GFP_NOFS is no longer
necessary.
