commit b0dd6b70f0fda17ae9762fbb72d98e40a4f66556 upstream.

Ext3 filesystems that are converted to use as many ext4 file system
features as possible will enable uninit_bg to speed up e2fsck times.
These file systems will have a native ext3 layout of inode tables and
block allocation bitmaps (as opposed to ext4's flex_bg layout).
Unfortunately, in these cases, when first allocating a block in an
uninitialized block group, ext4 would incorrectly calculate the number
of free blocks in that block group, and then errorneously report that
the file system was corrupt:

EXT4-fs error (device vdd): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:741: group 30, 32254 clusters in bitmap, 32258 in gd

This problem can be reproduced via:

    mke2fs -q -t ext4 -O ^flex_bg /dev/vdd 5g
    mount -t ext4 /dev/vdd /mnt
    fallocate -l 4600m /mnt/test

The problem was caused by a bone headed mistake in the check to see if a
particular metadata block was part of the block group.

Many thanks to Kees Cook for finding and bisecting the buggy commit
which introduced this bug (commit fd034a84e1, present since v3.2).

commit b22b1f178f6799278d3178d894f37facb2085765 upstream.

Commit 7990696 uses the ext4_{set,clear}_inode_flags() functions to
change the i_flags automatically but fails to remove the error setting
of i_flags.  So we still have the problem of trashing state flags.
Fix this by removing the assignment.

commit 79906964a187c405db72a3abc60eb9b50d804fbc upstream.

In commit 353eb83c we removed i_state_flags with 64-bit longs, But
when handling the EXT4_IOC_SETFLAGS ioctl, we replace i_flags
directly, which trashes the state flags which are stored in the high
32-bits of i_flags on 64-bit platforms.  So use the the
ext4_{set,clear}_inode_flags() functions which use atomic bit
manipulation functions instead.

commit 95599968d19db175829fb580baa6b68939b320fb upstream.

We can't have references held on pages in the s_buddy_cache while we are
trying to truncate its pages and put the inode.  All the pages must be
gone before we reach clear_inode.  This can only be gauranteed if we
can prevent new users from grabbing references to s_buddy_cache's pages.

The original bug can be reproduced and the bug fix can be verified by:

while true; do mount -t ext4 /dev/ram0 /export/hda3/ram0; \
	umount /export/hda3/ram0; done &amp;

while true; do cat /proc/fs/ext4/ram0/mb_groups; done

<title>ext4: add missing save_error_info() to ext4_error()</title>

commit f3fc0210c0fc91900766c995f089c39170e68305 upstream.

The ext4_error() function is missing a call to save_error_info().
Since this is the function which marks the file system as containing
an error, this oversight (which was introduced in 2.6.36) is quite
significant, and should be backported to older stable kernels with
high urgency.

__mnt_make_shortterm() in there undoes the effect of __mnt_make_longterm()
we'd done back when we set -&gt;mnt_ns non-NULL; it should not be done to
vfsmounts that had never gone through commit_tree() and friends.  Kudos to

commit 799243a389bde0de10fa21ca1ca453d2fe538b85 upstream.

When a file is truncated with truncate()/ftruncate() and then closed,
iversion is not updated.  This patch uses ATTR_SIZE flag as an indication
to increment iversion.

Mimi said:

On fput(), i_version is used to detect and flag files that have changed
and need to be re-measured in the IMA measurement policy.  When a file
is truncated with truncate()/ftruncate() and then closed, i_version is
not updated.  As a result, although the file has changed, it will not be
re-measured and added to the IMA measurement list on subsequent access.

A hard-linked directory to its parent can cause the VFS to deadlock,

ext4_lookup(), before the rmdir() lockup scenario can take place.
