<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: use flexible-array members in struct dx_node and struct dx_root</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6cfb061fe9e901dd0b6cfa3ed50bc39c81523532</id>
<content type='text'>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

We tested a soft lockup problem in linux 4.19 which could also
be found in linux 5.x.

When dir inode takes up a large number of blocks, and if the
directory is growing when we are searching, it's possible the
restart branch could be called many times, and the do while loop
could hold cpu a long time.

Here is the call trace in linux 4.19.

<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.

This allows the cause of an ext4_error() report to be categorized
based on whether it was triggered due to an I/O error, or an memory
allocation error, or other possible causes.  Most errors are caused by
a detected file system inconsistency, so the default code stored in
the superblock will be EXT4_ERR_EFSCORRUPTED.

Function ext4_empty_dir() doesn't correctly handle directories with
holes and crashes on bh-&gt;b_data dereference when bh is NULL. Reorganize
the loop to use 'offset' variable all the times instead of comparing
pointers to current direntry with bh-&gt;b_data pointer. Also add more
strict checking of '.' and '..' directory entries to avoid entering loop
in possibly invalid state on corrupted filesystems.

<title>ext4: work around deleting a file with i_nlink == 0 safely</title>

<content type='text'>
If the file system is corrupted such that a file's i_links_count is
too small, then it's possible that when unlinking that file, i_nlink
will already be zero.  Previously we were working around this kind of
corruption by forcing i_nlink to one; but we were doing this before
trying to delete the directory entry --- and if the file system is
corrupted enough that ext4_delete_entry() fails, then we exit with
i_nlink elevated, and this causes the orphan inode list handling to be
FUBAR'ed, such that when we unmount the file system, the orphan inode
list can get corrupted.

A better way to fix this is to simply skip trying to call drop_nlink()
if i_nlink is already zero, thus moving the check to the place where
it makes the most sense.
