[ Upstream commit 4477b39c32fdc03363affef4b11d48391e6dc9ff ]

Commit 3a7e02c040b1 ("minmax: avoid overly complicated constant
expressions in VM code") added the simpler MIN_T/MAX_T macros in order
to avoid some excessive expansion from the rather complicated regular
min/max macros.

The complexity of those macros stems from two issues:

 (a) trying to use them in situations that require a C constant
     expression (in static initializers and for array sizes)

 (b) the type sanity checking

and MIN_T/MAX_T avoids both of these issues.

Now, in the whole (long) discussion about all this, it was pointed out
that the whole type sanity checking is entirely unnecessary for
min_t/max_t which get a fixed type that the comparison is done in.

But that still leaves min_t/max_t unnecessarily complicated due to
worries about the C constant expression case.

However, it turns out that there really aren't very many cases that use
min_t/max_t for this, and we can just force-convert those.

This does exactly that.

Which in turn will then allow for much simpler implementations of
min_t()/max_t().  All the usual "macros in all upper case will evaluate
the arguments multiple times" rules apply.

We should do all the same things for the regular min/max() vs MIN/MAX()
cases, but that has the added complexity of various drivers defining
their own local versions of MIN/MAX, so that needs another level of
fixes first.

commit 9ed50b8231e37b1ae863f5dec8153b98d9f389b4 upstream.

Fast symlink can be used if the on-disk symlink data is stored
in the same block as the on-disk inode, so we don’t need to trigger
another I/O for symlink data.  However, currently fs correction could be
reported _incorrectly_ if inode xattrs are too large.

In fact, these should be valid images although they cannot be handled as
fast symlinks.

Many thanks to Colin for reporting this!

commit 1dd73601a1cba37a0ed5f89a8662c90191df5873 upstream.

As syzbot reported [1], the root cause is that i_size field is a
signed type, and negative i_size is also less than EROFS_BLKSIZ.
As a consequence, it's handled as fast symlink unexpectedly.

Let's fall back to the generic path to deal with such unusual i_size.

<content type='text'>
commit 3c12466b6b7bf1e56f9b32c366a3d83d87afb4de upstream.

Currently EROFS can map another compressed buffer for inplace
decompression, that was used to handle the cases that some pages of
compressed data are actually not in-place I/O.

However, like most simple LZ77 algorithms, LZ4 expects the compressed
data is arranged at the end of the decompressed buffer and it
explicitly uses memmove() to handle overlapping:
  __________________________________________________________
 |_ direction of decompression --&gt; ____ |_ compressed data _|

Although EROFS arranges compressed data like this, it typically maps two
individual virtual buffers so the relative order is uncertain.
Previously, it was hardly observed since LZ4 only uses memmove() for
short overlapped literals and x86/arm64 memmove implementations seem to
completely cover it up and they don't have this issue.  Juhyung reported
that EROFS data corruption can be found on a new Intel x86 processor.
After some analysis, it seems that recent x86 processors with the new
FSRM feature expose this issue with "rep movsb".

Let's strictly use the decompressed buffer for lz4 inplace
decompression for now.  Later, as an useful improvement, we could try
to tie up these two buffers together in the correct order.

commit e4c1cf523d820730a86cae2c6d55924833b6f7ac upstream.

This was accidentally fixed up in commit e4c1cf523d82 but we can't
take the full change due to other dependancy issues, so here is just
the actual bugfix that is needed.

[Background]

keltargw reported an issue [1] that with mmaped I/Os, sometimes the
tail of the last page (after file ends) is not filled with zeroes.

The root cause is that such tail page could be wrongly selected for
inplace I/Os so the zeroed part will then be filled with compressed
data instead of zeroes.

A simple fix is to avoid doing inplace I/Os for such tail parts,
actually that was already fixed upstream in commit e4c1cf523d82
("erofs: tidy up z_erofs_do_read_page()") by accident.

<title>erofs: fix compact 4B support for 16k block size</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 001b8ccd0650727e54ec16ef72bf1b8eeab7168e upstream.

In compact 4B, two adjacent lclusters are packed together as a unit to
form on-disk indexes for effective random access, as below:

(amortized = 4, vcnt = 2)
       _____________________________________________
      |___@_____ encoded bits __________|_ blkaddr _|
      0        .                                    amortized * vcnt = 8
      .             .
      .                  .              amortized * vcnt - 4 = 4
      .                        .
      .____________________________.
      |_type (2 bits)_|_clusterofs_|

Therefore, encoded bits for each pack are 32 bits (4 bytes). IOWs,
since each lcluster can get 16 bits for its type and clusterofs, the
maximum supported lclustersize for compact 4B format is 16k (14 bits).

Fix this to enable compact 4B format for 16k lclusters (blocks), which
is tested on an arm64 server with 16k page size.

[ Upstream commit 8191213a5835b0317c5e4d0d337ae1ae00c75253 ]

z_erofs_do_read_page() may loop infinitely due to the inappropriate
truncation in the below statement. Since the offset is 64 bits and min_t()
truncates the result to 32 bits. The solution is to replace unsigned int
with a 64-bit type, such as erofs_off_t.
    cur = end - min_t(unsigned int, offset + end - map-&gt;m_la, end);

    - For example:
        - offset = 0x400160000
        - end = 0x370
        - map-&gt;m_la = 0x160370
        - offset + end - map-&gt;m_la = 0x400000000
        - offset + end - map-&gt;m_la = 0x00000000 (truncated as unsigned int)
    - Expected result:
        - cur = 0
    - Actual result:
        - cur = 0x370

Currently, vmap()s are avoided if physical addresses are
consecutive for decompressed buffers.

I observed that is very common for 4KiB pclusters since the
numbers of decompressed pages are almost 2 or 3.

However, such detection doesn't work for Highmem pages on
32-bit machines, let's fix it now.
