[ Upstream commit 99f9a97dce39ad413c39b92c90393bbd6778f3fd ]

An infinite loop may occur if the following conditions occur due to
file system corruption.

(1) Condition for exfat_count_dir_entries() to loop infinitely.
    - The cluster chain includes a loop.
    - There is no UNUSED entry in the cluster chain.

(2) Condition for exfat_create_upcase_table() to loop infinitely.
    - The cluster chain of the root directory includes a loop.
    - There are no UNUSED entry and up-case table entry in the cluster
      chain of the root directory.

(3) Condition for exfat_load_bitmap() to loop infinitely.
    - The cluster chain of the root directory includes a loop.
    - There are no UNUSED entry and bitmap entry in the cluster chain
      of the root directory.

(4) Condition for exfat_find_dir_entry() to loop infinitely.
    - The cluster chain includes a loop.
    - The unused directory entries were exhausted by some operation.

(5) Condition for exfat_check_dir_empty() to loop infinitely.
    - The cluster chain includes a loop.
    - The unused directory entries were exhausted by some operation.
    - All files and sub-directories under the directory are deleted.

This commit adds checks to break the above infinite loop.

[ Upstream commit fee873761bd978d077d8c55334b4966ac4cb7b59 ]

If the file system is corrupted so that a cluster is linked to
itself in the cluster chain, and there is an unused directory
entry in the cluster, 'dentry' will not be incremented, causing
condition 'dentry &lt; max_dentries' unable to prevent an infinite
loop.

This infinite loop causes s_lock not to be released, and other
tasks will hang, such as exfat_sync_fs().

This commit stops traversing the cluster chain when there is unused
directory entry in the cluster to avoid this infinite loop.

commit 89fc548767a2155231128cb98726d6d2ea1256c9 upstream.

When accessing a file with more entries than ES_MAX_ENTRY_NUM, the bh-array
is allocated in __exfat_get_entry_set. The problem is that the bh-array is
allocated with GFP_KERNEL. It does not make sense. In the following cases,
a deadlock for sbi-&gt;s_lock between the two processes may occur.

       CPU0                CPU1
       ----                ----
  kswapd
   balance_pgdat
    lock(fs_reclaim)
                      exfat_iterate
                       lock(&amp;sbi-&gt;s_lock)
                       exfat_readdir
                        exfat_get_uniname_from_ext_entry
                         exfat_get_dentry_set
                          __exfat_get_dentry_set
                           kmalloc_array
                            ...
                            lock(fs_reclaim)
    ...
    evict
     exfat_evict_inode
      lock(&amp;sbi-&gt;s_lock)

To fix this, let's allocate bh-array with GFP_NOFS.

<title>vfs: get rid of old '-&gt;iterate' directory operation</title>

<content type='text'>
All users now just use '-&gt;iterate_shared()', which only takes the
directory inode lock for reading.

Filesystems that never got convered to shared mode now instead use a
wrapper that drops the lock, re-takes it in write mode, calls the old
function, and then downgrades the lock back to read mode.

This way the VFS layer and other callers no longer need to care about
filesystems that never got converted to the modern era.

The filesystems that use the new wrapper are ceph, coda, exfat, jfs,
ntfs, ocfs2, overlayfs, and vboxsf.

Honestly, several of them look like they really could just iterate their
directories in shared mode and skip the wrapper entirely, but the point
of this change is to not change semantics or fix filesystems that
haven't been fixed in the last 7+ years, but to finally get rid of the
dual iterators.

There is a potential deadlock reported by syzbot as below:

======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

ffff888019f760e0 (&amp;sbi-&gt;s_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: exfat_iterate+0x117/0xb50 fs/exfat/dir.c:232

which lock already depends on the new lock.

Chain exists of:
  &amp;mm-&gt;mmap_lock --&gt; mapping.invalidate_lock#3 --&gt; &amp;sbi-&gt;s_lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&amp;sbi-&gt;s_lock);
                               lock(mapping.invalidate_lock#3);
                               lock(&amp;sbi-&gt;s_lock);
  rlock(&amp;mm-&gt;mmap_lock);

Let's try to avoid above potential deadlock condition by moving dir_emit*()
out of sbi-&gt;s_lock coverage.

exfat_extract_uni_name copies characters from a given file name entry into
the 'uniname' variable. This variable is actually defined on the stack of
the exfat_readdir() function. According to the definition of
the 'exfat_uni_name' type, the file name should be limited 255 characters
(+ null teminator space), but the exfat_get_uniname_from_ext_entry()
function can write more characters because there is no check if filename
entries exceeds max filename length. This patch add the check not to copy
filename characters when exceeding max filename length.

Sony PXW-Z280 camera add vendor allocation entries to directory of
pictures. Currently, linux exfat does not support it and the file is
not visible. This patch handle vendor extension and allocation entries
as unreconized benign secondary entries. As described in the specification,
it is recognized but ignored, and when deleting directory entry set,
the associated clusters allocation are removed as well as benign secondary
directory entries.

Since seekdir() does not check whether the position is valid, the
position may exceed the size of the directory. We found that for
a directory with discontinuous clusters, if the position exceeds
the size of the directory and the excess size is greater than or
equal to the cluster size, exfat_readdir() will return -EIO,
causing a file system error and making the file system unavailable.

Reproduce this bug by:

seekdir(dir, dir_size + cluster_size);
dirent = readdir(dir);

The following log will be printed if mount with 'errors=remount-ro'.

[11166.712896] exFAT-fs (sdb1): error, invalid access to FAT (entry 0xffffffff)
[11166.712905] exFAT-fs (sdb1): Filesystem has been set read-only

If the position is not aligned with the dentry size, the return
value of readdir() will be NULL and errno is 0, which means the
end of the directory stream is reached.

If the position is aligned with dentry size, but there is no file
or directory at the position, exfat_readdir() will continue to
get dentry from the next dentry. So the dentry gotten by readdir()
may not be at the position.

After this commit, if the position is not aligned with the dentry
size, round the position up to the dentry size and continue to get
the dentry.
