commit d2db60df1e7eb39cf0f378dfc4dd8813666d46ef upstream.

Commit ae54870a1dc9 ("ext3: Fix lock inversion in ext3_symlink()")
recalculated the number of credits needed for a long symlink, in the
process of splitting it into two transactions.  However, the first
credit calculation under-counted because if selinux is enabled, credits
are needed to create the selinux xattr as well.

Overrunning the reservation will result in an OOPS in
journal_dirty_metadata() due to this assert:

  J_ASSERT_JH(jh, handle-&gt;h_buffer_credits &gt; 0);

Fix this by increasing the reservation size.

commit ad95c5e9bc8b5885f94dce720137cac8fa8da4c9 upstream.

Block allocation is called from two places: ext3_get_blocks_handle() and
ext3_xattr_block_set(). These two callers are not necessarily synchronized
because xattr code holds only xattr_sem and i_mutex, and
ext3_get_blocks_handle() may hold only truncate_mutex when called from
writepage() path. Block reservation code does not expect two concurrent
allocations to happen to the same inode and thus assertions can be triggered
or reservation structure corruption can occur.

Fix the problem by taking truncate_mutex in xattr code to serialize
allocations.

Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or
anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it
needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not.

This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet.  I plan
to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting
this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid
tree interdependencies.

Also remove incorrect comments that -&gt;dirty_inode can't block.  That
has been changed a long time ago, and many implementations rely on it.

This fifth patch of eight in this cleancache series "opts-in"
cleancache for ext3.  Filesystems must explicitly enable
cleancache by calling cleancache_init_fs anytime an instance
of the filesystem is mounted. For ext3, all other cleancache
hooks are in the VFS layer including the matching cleancache_flush_fs
hook which must be called on unmount.

Details and a FAQ can be found in Documentation/vm/cleancache.txt

<content type='text'>
When make_indexed_dir() fails (e.g. because of ENOSPC) after it has allocated
block for index tree root, we did not properly mark all changed buffers dirty.
This lead to only some of these buffers being written out and thus effectively
corrupting the directory.

Fix the issue by marking all changed data dirty even in the error failure case.

<title>ext3: Fix lock inversion in ext3_symlink()</title>

ext3_symlink() cannot call __page_symlink() with transaction open.
__page_symlink() calls ext3_write_begin() which gets page lock which ranks
above transaction start (thus lock ordering is violated) and and also
ext3_write_begin() waits for a transaction commit when we run out of space
which never happens if we hold transaction open.

Fix the problem by stopping a transaction before calling __page_symlink()
(we have to be careful and put inode to orphan list so that it gets deleted
in case of crash) and starting another one after __page_symlink() returns
for addition of symlink into a directory.
