commit 860d21e2c585f7ee8a4ecc06f474fdc33c9474f4 upstream.

The only reason for sb_getblk() failing is if it can't allocate the
buffer_head.  So ENOMEM is more appropriate than EIO.  In addition,
make sure that the file system is marked as being inconsistent if
sb_getblk() fails.

 - Adjust context
 - Drop change to inline.c
 - Call to ext4_ext_check() from ext4_ext_find_extent() is conditional]

At least initially if the bigalloc feature is enabled, we will not
support non-extent mapped inodes, online resizing, online defrag, or
the FITRIM ioctl.  This simplifies the initial implementation.

<title>ext4: fix fsx truncate failure</title>

<id>189e868fa8fdca702eb9db9d8afc46b5cb9144c9</id>
<content type='text'>
While running extended fsx tests to verify the first
two patches, a similar bug was also found in the
truncate operation.

This bug happens because the truncate routine only zeros
the unblock aligned portion of the last page.  This means
that the block aligned portions of the page appearing after
i_size are left unzeroed, and the buffer heads still mapped.

This bug is corrected by using ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers
in the truncate routine to zero the partial page and unmap
the buffer headers.

<title>ext4: flush any pending end_io requests before DIO reads w/dioread_nolock</title>

<id>dccaf33fa37a1bc5d651baeb3bfeb6becb86597b</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a race between ext4 buffer write and direct_IO read with
dioread_nolock mount option enabled. The problem is that we clear
PageWriteback flag during end_io time but will do
uninitialized-to-initialized extent conversion later with dioread_nolock.
If an O_direct read request comes in during this period, ext4 will return
zero instead of the recently written data.

This patch checks whether there are any pending uninitialized-to-initialized
extent conversion requests before doing O_direct read to close the race.
Note that this is just a bandaid fix. The fundamental issue is that we
clear PageWriteback flag before we really complete an IO, which is
problem-prone. To fix the fundamental issue, we may need to implement an
extent tree cache that we can use to look up pending to-be-converted extents.

  ext4: use the correct error exit path in ext4_init_inode_table()
  ext4: add missing kfree() on error return path in add_new_gdb()
  ext4: change umode_t in tracepoint headers to be an explicit __u16
  ext4: fix races in ext4_sync_parent()
  ext4: Fix overflow caused by missing cast in ext4_fallocate()

Fix up conflict in fs/ext4/inode.c: commit aacfc19c626e ("fs: simplify
the blockdev_direct_IO prototype") had changed the ext4_ind_direct_IO()
function for the new simplified calling convention, while commit
dae1e52cb126 ("ext4: move ext4_ind_* functions from inode.c to

I found that ext4_ext_find_goal() and ext4_find_near()
share the same code for returning a coloured start block
based on i_block_group.

We can refactor this into a common function so that they
don't diverge in the future.

Thanks to adilger for suggesting the new function name.
