commit 5208386c501276df18fee464e21d3c58d2d79517 upstream.

Merge conditions in ext4_setattr() handling inode size changes, also
move ext4_begin_ordered_truncate() call somewhat earlier because it
simplifies error recovery in case of failure. Also add error handling in
case i_disksize update fails.

<title>ext4: fix ext4_writepages() in presence of truncate</title>

commit 5f1132b2ba8c873f25982cf45917e8455fb6c962 upstream.

Inode size can arbitrarily change while writeback is in progress. When
ext4_writepages() has prepared a long extent for mapping and truncate
then reduces i_size, mpage_map_and_submit_buffers() will always map just
one buffer in a page instead of all of them due to lblk &lt; blocks check.
So we end up not using all blocks we've allocated (thus leaking them)
and also delalloc accounting goes wrong manifesting as a warning like:

ext4_da_release_space:1333: ext4_da_release_space: ino 12, to_free 1
with only 0 reserved data blocks

Note that the problem can happen only when blocksize &lt; pagesize because
otherwise we have only a single buffer in the page.

Fix the problem by removing the size check from the mapping loop. We
have an extent allocated so we have to use it all before checking for
i_size. We also rename add_page_bufs_to_extent() to
mpage_process_page_bufs() and make that function submit the page for IO
if all buffers (upto EOF) in it are mapped.

commit 09930042a2e94cf8ee79d22943915612c1e4ba51 upstream.

Currently the logic whether the current buffer can be added to an extent
of buffers to map is split between mpage_add_bh_to_extent() and
add_page_bufs_to_extent(). Move the whole logic to
mpage_add_bh_to_extent() which makes things a bit more straightforward
and make following i_size fixes easier.

<title>jbd2: Fix oops in jbd2_journal_file_inode()</title>

Commit 0713ed0cde76438d05849f1537d3aab46e099475 added
jbd2_journal_file_inode() call into ext4_block_zero_page_range().
However that function gets called from truncate path and thus inode
needn't have jinode attached - that happens in ext4_file_open() but
the file needn't be ever open since mount. Calling
jbd2_journal_file_inode() without jinode attached results in the oops.

We fix the problem by attaching jinode to inode also in ext4_truncate()
and ext4_punch_hole() when we are going to zero out partial blocks.

<title>jbd2: Fix use after free after error in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata()</title>

<id>91aa11fae1cf8c2fd67be0609692ea9741cdcc43</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

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 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.

wrongly disallows the specifying the mount options nodelalloc and

disallowed the combination of delalloc and data=journal
simultaneously.
