commit 90ba983f6889e65a3b506b30dc606aa9d1d46cd2 upstream.

A user who was using a 8TB+ file system and with a very large flexbg
size (&gt; 65536) could cause the atomic_t used in the struct flex_groups
to overflow.  This was detected by PaX security patchset:

http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&amp;t=3289&amp;p=12551#p12551

This bug was introduced in commit 9f24e4208f7e, so it's been around
since 2.6.30.  :-(

Fix this by using an atomic64_t for struct orlav_stats's
free_clusters.

[Backported for 3.0-stable. Renamed free_clusters back to free_blocks;
fixed a few more atomic_read's of free_blocks left in 3.0.]

commit acd6ad83517639e8f09a8c5525b1dccd81cd2a10 upstream.

When insert_inode_locked() fails in ext4_new_inode() it most likely means inode
bitmap got corrupted and we allocated again inode which is already in use. Also
doing unlock_new_inode() during error recovery is wrong since the inode does
not have I_NEW set. Fix the problem by jumping to fail: (instead of fail_drop:)
which declares filesystem error and does not call unlock_new_inode().

- Add more ext4 tracepoints.
- Change ext4 tracepoints to use dev_t field with MAJOR/MINOR macros
so that we can save 4 bytes in the ring buffer on some platforms.
- Add sync_mode to ext4_da_writepages, ext4_da_write_pages, and
ext4_da_writepages_result tracepoints. Also remove for_reclaim
field from ext4_da_writepages since it is usually not very useful.

When allocating a new inode, we need to make sure i_sync_tid and
i_datasync_tid are initialized.  Otherwise, one or both of these two
values could be left initialized to zero, which could potentially
result in BUG_ON in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction.

(This could happen by having journal-&gt;commit_request getting set to
zero, which could wake up the kjournald process even though there is
no running transaction, which then causes a BUG_ON via the 
J_ASSERT(j_ruinning_transaction != NULL) statement.

<title>fs/vfs/security: pass last path component to LSM on inode creation</title>

SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created
inodes.  We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating
process.  This new behavior would also take into account the name of the
new object when deciding the new label.  This is not the (supposed) full path,
just the last component of the path.

This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating
/etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these
operations.  We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some
difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops
to get things set up correctly.  This patch does not implement new
behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it
does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook.  If no such name
exists it is fine to pass NULL.
