commit 9aa5d32ba269bec0e7eaba2697a986a7b0bc8528 upstream.

Besides the fact that this replacement improves code readability
it also protects from errors caused direct EXT4_S(sb)-&gt;s_es manipulation
which may result attempt to use uninitialized  csum machinery.

A missing cast means that when we are truncating a file which is less
than 60 bytes, we don't clear the correct area of memory, and in fact
we can end up truncating the next inode in the inode table, or worse
yet, some other kernel data structure.

The function has a bit non-standard (for ext4) error recovery in that it
used a mix of 'out' labels and testing for 'handle' being NULL. There
isn't a good reason for that in the function so clean it up a bit.

Similarly as other -&gt;write_begin functions in ext4, also
ext4_da_write_inline_data_begin() should retry allocation if the
conversion failed because of ENOSPC. This avoids returning ENOSPC
prematurely because of uncommitted block deletions.

In ext4_read_inline_dir(), if there is inline data, the successful
return value is the return value of ext4_read_inline_data().  Howewer,
this is used by ext4_readdir(), and while it seems harmless to return
a positive value on success, it's inconsistent, since historically
we've always return 0 on success.

Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
 "Lots of bug fixes, cleanups and optimizations.  In the bug fixes
  category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the
  block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks
  on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or
  ia64 systems.)

  In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was
  significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc
  file systems.  In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the
  write submission code path.  We also improved error checking and added
  a few sanity checks.

  In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve
  mention.  The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for
  nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode.  This allows writes to be
  submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of
  being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then
  relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block
  queue).  Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was
  introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the
  i_es_lru spinlock.  Other optimizations include some changes to reduce
  CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily."

In ext4 feature inline_data,it use the xattr's space to store the
inline data in inode.When we calculate the inline data as the xattr,we
add the pad.But in get_max_inline_xattr_value_size() function we count
the free space without pad.It cause some contents are moved to a block
even if it can be
stored in the inode.
