commit 79f1ba49569e5aec919b653c55b03274c2331701 upstream.

In mke2fs, we only checksum the whole bitmap block and it is right.
While in the kernel, we use EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP to indicate the
size of the checksumed bitmap which is wrong when we enable bigalloc.
The right size should be EXT4_CLUSTERS_PER_GROUP and this patch fixes
it.

Also as every caller of ext4_block_bitmap_csum_set and
ext4_block_bitmap_csum_verify pass in EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)/8,
we'd better removes this parameter and sets it in the function itself.

The last user of ext4_mark_super_dirty() in ext4_file_open() is so
rare it can well be modifying the superblock properly by journalling
the change.  Change it and get rid of ext4_mark_super_dirty() as it's
not needed anymore.

Artem: small amendments.
Artem: tested using xfstests for both journalled and non-journalled ext4.

The ext4_checksum() inline function was using a dynamic array size,
which is not legal C.  (It is a gcc extension).

<title>ext4: make quota as first class supported feature</title>

<id>7c319d328505b7781b65238ae9f53293b5ee0ca8</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds support for quotas as a first class feature in ext4;
which is to say, the quota files are stored in hidden inodes as file
system metadata, instead of as separate files visible in the file system
directory hierarchy.

It is based on the proposal at:                                                                                                           
https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Design_For_1st_Class_Quota_in_Ext4

This patch introduces a new feature - EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_QUOTA
which, when turned on, enables quota accounting at mount time
iteself. Also, the quota inodes are stored in two additional superblock
fields.  Some changes introduced by this patch that should be pointed
out are:

1) Two new ext4-superblock fields - s_usr_quota_inum and
   s_grp_quota_inum for storing the quota inodes in use.
2) Default quota inodes are: inode#3 for tracking userquota and inode#4
   for tracking group quota. The superblock fields can be set to use
   other inodes as well.
3) If the QUOTA feature and corresponding quota inodes are set in
   superblock, the quota usage tracking is turned on at mount time. On
   'quotaon' ioctl, the quota limits enforcement is turned
   on. 'quotaoff' ioctl turns off only the limits enforcement in this
   case.
4) When QUOTA feature is in use, the quota mount options 'quota',
   'usrquota', 'grpquota' are ignored by the kernel.
5) mke2fs or tune2fs can be used to set the QUOTA feature and initialize
   quota inodes. The default reserved inodes will not be visible to user
   as regular files.
6) The quota-tools will need to be modified to support hidden quota
   files on ext4. E2fsprogs will also include support for creating and
   fixing quota files.
7) Support is only for the new V2 quota file format.

EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_NO_LOCK flag is added to indicate that we don't need
to acquire i_data_sem lock in ext4_map_blocks.  Meanwhile, it changes
ext4_get_block() to not start a new journal because when we do a
overwrite dio, there is no any metadata that needs to be modified.

We define a new function called ext4_get_block_write_nolock, which is
used in dio overwrite nolock.  In this function, it doesn't try to
acquire i_data_sem lock and doesn't start a new journal as it does a
lookup.

<content type='text'>
Commit f975d6bcc7a introduced bug which caused ext4_statfs() to
miscalculate the number of file system overhead blocks.  This causes
the f_blocks field in the statfs structure to be larger than it should
be.  This would in turn cause the "df" output to show the number of
data blocks in the file system and the number of data blocks used to
be larger than they should be.
