commit 1f5a81e41f8b1a782c68d3843e9ec1bfaadf7d72 upstream.

Dan Roseberg has reported a problem with the MOVE_EXT ioctl.  If the
donor file is an append-only file, we should not allow the operation
to proceed, lest we end up overwriting the contents of an append-only
file.

commit 42007efd569f1cf3bfb9a61da60ef6c2179508ca upstream.

If groups_per_flex &lt; 2, sbi-&gt;s_flex_groups[] doesn't get filled out,
and every other access to this first tests s_log_groups_per_flex;
same thing needs to happen in resize or we'll wander off into
a null pointer when doing an online resize of the file system.

Thanks to Christoph Biedl, who came up with the trivial testcase:

# truncate --size 128M fsfile
# mkfs.ext3 -F fsfile
# tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index,flex_bg,huge_file,dir_nlink,extra_isize fsfile
# e2fsck -yDf -C0 fsfile
# truncate --size 132M fsfile
# losetup /dev/loop0 fsfile
# mount /dev/loop0 mnt
# resize2fs -p /dev/loop0

Calls to ext4_get_inode_loc() returns with a reference to a buffer
head in iloc-&gt;bh.  The callers of this function in ext4_write_inode()
when in no journal mode and in ext4_xattr_fiemap() don't release the
buffer head after using it.

In the no-journal case, ext4_write_inode() will fetch the bh and call
sync_dirty_buffer() on it.  However, if the bh has already been
written and the bh reclaimed for some other purpose, AND if the inode
is the only one in the inode table block in use, then
ext4_get_inode_loc() will not read the inode table block from disk,
but as an optimization, fill the block with zero's assuming that its
caller will copy in the on-disk version of the inode.  This is not
done by ext4_write_inode(), so the contents of the inode can simply
get lost.  The fix is to use __ext4_get_inode_loc() with in_mem set to
0, instead of ext4_get_inode_loc().  Long term the API needs to be
fixed so it's obvious why latter is not safe.

<title>include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h</title>

<id>5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05</id>
<content type='text'>
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

When ext4 driver is used to mount a filesystem instead of the ext3 file
system driver (through CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23), do not enable delayed
allocation by default since some ext3 users and application writers have
developed unfortunate expectations about the safety of writing files on
systems subject to sudden and violent death without using fsync().
