[ Upstream commit 32302085a8d90859c40cf1a5e8313f575d06ec75 ]

Fix a debug-only build error in ext2/xattr.c:

When building without extra debugging, (and with another patch that uses
no_printk() instead of &lt;empty&gt; for the ext2-xattr debug-print macros,
this build error happens:

../fs/ext2/xattr.c: In function ‘ext2_xattr_cache_insert’:
../fs/ext2/xattr.c:869:18: error: ‘ext2_xattr_cache’ undeclared (first use in
this function); did you mean ‘ext2_xattr_list’?
     atomic_read(&amp;ext2_xattr_cache-&gt;c_entry_count));

Fix the problem by removing cached entry count from the debug message
since otherwise we'd have to export the mbcache structure just for that.

[ Upstream commit 44a52022e7f15cbaab957df1c14f7a4f527ef7cf ]

When EXT2_ATTR_DEBUG is not defined, modify the 2 debug macros
to use the no_printk() macro instead of &lt;nothing&gt;.
This fixes gcc warnings when -Wextra is used:

../fs/ext2/xattr.c:252:42: warning: suggest braces around empty body in an ‘if’ statement [-Wempty-body]
../fs/ext2/xattr.c:258:42: warning: suggest braces around empty body in an ‘if’ statement [-Wempty-body]
../fs/ext2/xattr.c:330:42: warning: suggest braces around empty body in an ‘if’ statement [-Wempty-body]
../fs/ext2/xattr.c:872:45: warning: suggest braces around empty body in an ‘else’ statement [-Wempty-body]

I have verified that the only object code change (with gcc 7.5.0) is
the reversal of some instructions from 'cmp a,b' to 'cmp b,a'.

commit ecebf55d27a11538ea84aee0be643dd953f830d5 upstream.

The function ext2_xattr_set calls brelse(bh) to drop the reference count
of bh. After that, bh may be freed. However, following brelse(bh),
it reads bh-&gt;b_data via macro HDR(bh). This may result in a
use-after-free bug. This patch moves brelse(bh) after reading field.

CURRENT_TIME_SEC is not y2038 safe. current_time() will
be transitioned to use 64 bit time along with vfs in a
separate patch.
There is no plan to transistion CURRENT_TIME_SEC to use
y2038 safe time interfaces.

current_time() will also be extended to use superblock
range checking parameters when range checking is introduced.

This works because alloc_super() fills in the the s_time_gran
in super block to NSEC_PER_SEC.

<title>ext2: fix filesystem deadlock while reading corrupted xattr block</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ff0031d848a0cd7002606f9feef958de8d5edf19</id>
<content type='text'>
This bug can be reproducible with fsfuzzer, although, I couldn't reproduce it
100% of my tries, it is quite easily reproducible.

During the deletion of an inode, ext2_xattr_delete_inode() does not check if the
block pointed by EXT2_I(inode)-&gt;i_file_acl is a valid data block, this might
lead to a deadlock, when i_file_acl == 1, and the filesystem block size is 1024.

In that situation, ext2_xattr_delete_inode, will load the superblock's buffer
head (instead of a valid i_file_acl block), and then lock that buffer head,
which, ext2_sync_super will also try to lock, making the filesystem deadlock in
the following stack trace:

[&lt;ffffffff81838cf2&gt;] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1a/0xa4
[&lt;ffffffffffffffff&gt;] 0xffffffffffffffff

Fix this by using the same approach ext4 uses to test data blocks validity,
implementing ext2_data_block_valid.

An another possibility when the superblock is very corrupted, is that i_file_acl
is 1, block_count is 1 and first_data_block is 0. For such situations, we might
have i_file_acl pointing to a 'valid' block, but still step over the superblock.
The approach I used was to also test if the superblock is not in the range
described by ext2_data_block_valid() arguments

<title>mbcache: add reusable flag to cache entries</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6048c64b26097a0ffbd966866b599f990e674e9b</id>
<content type='text'>
To reduce amount of damage caused by single bad block, we limit number
of inodes sharing an xattr block to 1024. Thus there can be more xattr
blocks with the same contents when there are lots of files with the same
extended attributes. These xattr blocks naturally result in hash
collisions and can form long hash chains and we unnecessarily check each
such block only to find out we cannot use it because it is already
shared by too many inodes.

Add a reusable flag to cache entries which is cleared when a cache entry
has reached its maximum refcount.  Cache entries which are not marked
reusable are skipped by mb_cache_entry_find_{first,next}. This
significantly speeds up mbcache when there are many same xattr blocks.
For example for xattr-bench with 5 values and each process handling
20000 files, the run for 64 processes is 25x faster with this patch.
Even for 8 processes the speedup is almost 3x. We have also verified
that for situations where there is only one xattr block of each kind,
the patch doesn't have a measurable cost.

[JK: Remove handling of setting the same value since it is not needed
anymore, check for races in e_reusable setting, improve changelog,
add measurements]

Since old mbcache code is gone, let's rename new code to mbcache since
number 2 is now meaningless. This is just a mechanical replacement.

The conversion is generally straightforward. We convert filesystem from
a global cache to per-fs one. Similarly to ext4 the tricky part is that
xattr block corresponding to found mbcache entry can get freed before we
get buffer lock for that block. So we have to check whether the entry is
still valid after getting the buffer lock.

<title>Merge branch 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs</title>

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "All kinds of stuff.  That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
  branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
  had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.

  Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
  switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
  of various kinds, several new helpers for -&gt;llseek(), assorted
  cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.

  One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
  lookup_one_len_unlocked().  Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
  called without -&gt;i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it.  That, of
  course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
  but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
  with that.  I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
  changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough...  I
  *am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
  and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with -&gt;lookup() done under lock
  taken shared.

  There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
  of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
  -&gt;i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
  inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested().  To quote Linus back then:

    -----
    |    This is an automated patch using
    |
    |        sed 's/mutex_lock(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex)/inode_lock(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_unlock(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex)/inode_unlock(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_lock_nested(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex,[     ]*I_MUTEX_\([A-Z0-9_]*\))/inode_lock_nested(\1, I_MUTEX_\2)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_is_locked(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex)/inode_is_locked(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_trylock(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex)/inode_trylock(\1)/'
    |
    |    with a very few manual fixups
    -----

  I'm going to send that once the -&gt;i_mutex-affecting stuff in -next
  gets mostly merged (or when Linus says he's about to stop taking
  merges)"
