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.

commit aeb1e5d69a5be592e86a926be73efb38c55af404 upstream.

Commit fa77dcfafeaa introduces block bitmap checksum calculation into
ext4_new_inode() in the case that block group was uninitialized.
However we brelse() the bitmap buffer before we attempt to checksum it
so we have no guarantee that the buffer is still there.

Fix this by releasing the buffer after the possible checksum
computation.

<title>ext4: fix unjournaled inode bitmap modification</title>

commit ffb5387e85d528fb6d0d924abfa3fbf0fc484071 upstream.

commit 119c0d4460b001e44b41dcf73dc6ee794b98bd31 changed
ext4_new_inode() such that the inode bitmap was being modified
outside a transaction, which could lead to corruption, and was
discovered when journal_checksum found a bad checksum in the
journal during log replay.

Nix ran into this when using the journal_async_commit mount
option, which enables journal checksumming.  The ensuing
journal replay failures due to the bad checksums led to
filesystem corruption reported as the now infamous
"Apparent serious progressive ext4 data corruption bug"

[ Changed by tytso to only call ext4_journal_get_write_access() only
  when we're fairly certain that we're going to allocate the inode. ]

I've tested this by mounting with journal_checksum and
running fsstress then dropping power; I've also tested by
hacking DM to create snapshots w/o first quiescing, which
allows me to test journal replay repeatedly w/o actually
power-cycling the box.  Without the patch I hit a journal
checksum error every time.  With this fix it survives
many iterations.

Make it possible for ext4_count_free to operate on buffers and not
just data in buffer_heads.

commit bb3d132a24cd8bf5e7773b2d9f9baa58b07a7dae upstream.

The ext4_get_group_desc() function returns NULL on error, and
ext4_free_inodes_count() function dereferences it without checking.
There is a check on the next line, but it's too late.

In ext4_read_{inode,block}_bitmap() we were setting bitmap_uptodate()
before submitting the buffer for read.  The is bad, since we check
bitmap_uptodate() without locking the buffer, and so if another
process is racing with us, it's possible that they will think the
bitmap is uptodate even though the read has not completed yet,
resulting in inodes and blocks potentially getting allocated more than
once if we get really unlucky.

The function ext4_claim_inode() is only called by one function,
ext4_new_inode(), and by folding the functionality into
ext4_new_inode(), we can remove almost 50 lines of code, and put all
of the logic of allocating a new inode into a single place.
