commit 5930ea643805feb50a2f8383ae12eb6f10935e49 upstream.

ext4_dx_add_entry manipulates bh2 and frames[0].bh, which are two buffer_heads
that point to directory blocks assigned to the directory inode.  However, the
function calls ext4_handle_dirty_metadata with the inode of the file that's
being added to the directory, not the directory inode itself.  Therefore,
correct the code to dirty the directory buffers with the directory inode, not
the file inode.

commit f9287c1f2d329f4d78a3bbc9cf0db0ebae6f146a upstream.

ext4_mkdir calls ext4_handle_dirty_metadata with dir_block and the inode "dir".
Unfortunately, dir_block belongs to the newly created directory (which is
"inode"), not the parent directory (which is "dir").  Fix the incorrect
association.

commit bcaa992975041e40449be8c010c26192b8c8b409 upstream.

When ext4_rename performs a directory rename (move), dir_bh is a
buffer that is modified to update the '..' link in the directory being
moved (old_inode).  However, ext4_handle_dirty_metadata is called with
the old parent directory inode (old_dir) and dir_bh, which is
incorrect because dir_bh does not belong to the parent inode.  Fix
this error.

<title>ext4: Properly count journal credits for long symlinks</title>

commit 8c20871998c082f6fbc963f1449a5ba5140ee39a upstream.

Commit df5e6223407e ("ext4: fix deadlock in ext4_symlink() in ENOSPC
conditions") recalculated the number of credits needed for a long
symlink, in the process of splitting it into two transactions.  However,
the first credit calculation under-counted because if selinux is
enabled, credits are needed to create the selinux xattr as well.

Overrunning the reservation will result in an OOPS in
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() due to this assert:

  J_ASSERT_JH(jh, handle-&gt;h_buffer_credits &gt; 0);

Fix this by increasing the reservation size.

ext4_symlink() cannot call __page_symlink() with transaction open.
__page_symlink() calls ext4_write_begin() which can wait for
transaction commit if we are running out of space thus causing a
deadlock. Also error recovery in ext4_truncate_failed_write() does not
count with the transaction being already started (although I'm not
aware of any particular deadlock here).

Fix the problem by stopping a transaction before calling
__page_symlink() (we have to be careful and put inode to orphan list
so that it gets deleted in case of crash) and starting another one
after __page_symlink() returns for addition of symlink into a
directory.

When make_indexed_dir() fails (e.g. because of ENOSPC) after it has
allocated block for index tree root, we did not properly mark all
changed buffers dirty.  This lead to only some of these buffers being
written out and thus effectively corrupting the directory.

Fix the issue by marking all changed data dirty even in the error
failure case.

- 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.

Checking return code from ext4_journal_get_write_access() is important
with snapshots, because this function invokes COW, so may return new
errors, such as ENOSPC.

We move the call to ext4_journal_get_write_access earlier in the
function, to simplify error handling in the case that this function
returns returns an error.
