commit 1c5b9e9065567876c2d4a7a16d78f0fed154a5bf upstream.

Commit 40389687 moved a call to ext4_forget() out of
ext4_free_branches and let ext4_free_blocks() handle calling
bforget().  But that change unfortunately did not replace the call to
ext4_forget() with brelse(), which was needed to drop the in-use count
of the indirect block's buffer head, which lead to a memory leak when
deleting files that used indirect blocks.  Fix this.

Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing this out.

commit a1c6c5698d53db4c47a25c3a8d11731a4d7b8370 upstream.

Fix NULL pointer dereference in print_daily_error_info, when
called on unmounted fs (EXT4_SB(sb) returns NULL), by removing error
reporting timer in ext4_put_super.

The mbcache code was written to support a variable number of indexes,
but all the existing users use exactly one index.  Simplify to code to
support only that case.

There are also no users of the cache entry free operation, and none of
the users keep extra data in cache entries.  Remove those features as
well.

<title>remove inode_setattr</title>

<content type='text'>
Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers.  This
moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it
can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence.

In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate
so it was left out in the opencoded variant:

 spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier
 btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier
 ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just above

In addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs,
which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.

Split up the block_write_begin implementation - __block_write_begin is a new
trivial wrapper for block_prepare_write that always takes an already
allocated page and can be either called from block_write_begin or filesystem
code that already has a page allocated.  Remove the handling of already
allocated pages from block_write_begin after switching all callers that
do it to __block_write_begin.

Move the call to vmtruncate to get rid of accessive blocks to the callers
in prepearation of the new truncate calling sequence.  This was only done
for DIO_LOCKING filesystems, so the __blockdev_direct_IO_newtrunc variant
was not needed anyway.  Get rid of blockdev_direct_IO_no_locking and
its _newtrunc variant while at it as just opencoding the two additional
paramters is shorted than the name suffix.

If the bitmap block on disk is bad, ext4_mb_load_buddy() returns an
error. This error is returned to the caller,
ext4_mb_regular_allocator() and then to ext4_mb_new_blocks().  But
ext4_mb_new_blocks() did not check for the return value of
ext4_mb_regular_allocator() and would repeatedly try to load the
bitmap block. The fix simply catches the return value and exits out of
the 'repeat' loop after cleanup.

We also take the opportunity to clean up the error handling in
ext4_mb_new_blocks().
