commit 91aa11fae1cf8c2fd67be0609692ea9741cdcc43 upstream.

When jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() returns error,
__ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() stops the handle. However callers of this
function do not count with that fact and still happily used now freed
handle. This use after free can result in various issues but very likely
we oops soon.

The motivation of adding __ext4_journal_stop() into
__ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() in commit 9ea7a0df seems to be only to
improve error reporting. So replace __ext4_journal_stop() with
ext4_journal_abort_handle() which was there before that commit and add
WARN_ON_ONCE() to dump stack to provide useful information.

<title>ext4: flush the extent status cache during EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT</title>

commit cde2d7a796f7e895e25b43471ed658079345636d upstream.

Previously we weren't swapping only some of the extent_status LRU
fields during the processing of the EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT ioctl.  The
much safer thing to do is to just completely flush the extent status
tree when doing the swap.

<title>ext4: fix mount/remount error messages for incompatible mount options</title>

commit 6ae6514b33f941d3386da0dfbe2942766eab1577 upstream.

Commit 5688978 ("ext4: improve handling of conflicting mount options")
introduced incorrect messages shown while choosing wrong mount options.

First of all, both cases of incorrect mount options,
"data=journal,delalloc" and "data=journal,dioread_nolock" result in
the same error message.

Secondly, the problem above isn't solved for remount option: the
mismatched parameter is simply ignored.  Moreover, ext4_msg states
that remount with options "data=journal,delalloc" succeeded, which is
not true.

To fix it up, I added a simple check after parse_options() call to
ensure that data=journal and delalloc/dioread_nolock parameters are
not present at the same time.

Commit 26092bf ("ext4: use a table-driven handler for mount options")
wrongly disallows the specifying the mount options nodelalloc and
data=journal simultaneously.  This is incorrect; it should have only
disallowed the combination of delalloc and data=journal
simultaneously.

<title>ext4: make sure group number is bumped after a inode allocation race</title>

commit a34eb503742fd25155fd6cff6163daacead9fbc3 upstream.

When we try to allocate an inode, and there is a race between two
CPU's trying to grab the same inode, _and_ this inode is the last free
inode in the block group, make sure the group number is bumped before
we continue searching the rest of the block groups.  Otherwise, we end
up searching the current block group twice, and we end up skipping
searching the last block group.  So in the unlikely situation where
almost all of the inodes are allocated, it's possible that we will
return ENOSPC even though there might be free inodes in that last
block group.

Previously ext4_ext_truncate() was ignoring potential error returns
from ext4_es_remove_extent() and ext4_ext_remove_space().  This can
lead to the on-diks extent tree and the extent status tree cache
getting out of sync, which is particuarlly bad, and can lead to file
system corruption and potential data loss.

commit e7676a704ee0a1ef71a6b23760b5a8f6896cb1a1 upstream.

The filesystem should not be marked inconsistent if ext4_free_blocks()
is not able to allocate memory.  Unfortunately some callers (most
notably ext4_truncate) don't have a way to reflect an error back up to
the VFS.  And even if we did, most userspace applications won't deal
with most system calls returning ENOMEM anyway.

commit ad065dd01662ae22138899e6b1c8eeb3a529964f upstream.

We now print mount options in a generic fashion in
ext4_show_options(), so we shouldn't be explicitly printing the
{usr,grp}quota options in ext4_show_quota_options().

Without this patch, /proc/mounts can look like this:

 /dev/vdb /vdb ext4 rw,relatime,quota,usrquota,data=ordered,usrquota 0 0
