commit df3cb754d13d2cd5490db9b8d536311f8413a92e upstream.

exits early which leads to result inconsistency between resize2fs and
Ext4 kernel driver.

<title>ext4: place buffer head allocation before handle start</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6b22c5a9a3733f91ea18dc2db62c131a2b7d6bd7</id>

commit d1052d236eddf6aa851434db1897b942e8db9921 upstream.

In our product environment, we encounter some jbd hung waiting handles to
stop while several writters were doing memory reclaim for buffer head
allocation in delay alloc write path. Ext4 do buffer head allocation with
holding transaction handle which may be blocked too long if the reclaim
works not so smooth. According to our bcc trace, the reclaim time in
buffer head allocation can reach 258s and the jbd transaction commit also
take almost the same time meanwhile. Except for these extreme cases,
we often see several seconds delays for cgroup memory reclaim on our
servers. This is more likely to happen considering docker environment.

One thing to note, the allocation of buffer heads is as often as page
allocation or more often when blocksize less than page size. Just like
page cache allocation, we should also place the buffer head allocation
before startting the handle.

commit 3b575495ab8dbb4dbe85b4ac7f991693c3668ff5 upstream.

ext4_lazyinit_thread is not set freezable. Hence when the thread calls
try_to_freeze it doesn't freeze during suspend and continues to send
requests to the storage during suspend, resulting in suspend failures.

To solve this problem, we use ext4_journal_start_sb directly
to avoid s_root being used.

commit 4bb26f2885ac6930984ee451b952c5a6042f2c0e upstream.

When inode is created and written to using direct IO, there is nothing
to clear the EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag. Thus when inode gets
truncated later to say 1 byte and written using normal write, we will
try to store the data as inline data. This confuses the code later
because the inode now has both normal block and inline data allocated
and the confusion manifests for example as:

commit 613c5a85898d1cd44e68f28d65eccf64a8ace9cf upstream.

Currently the Orlov inode allocator searches for free inodes for a
directory only in flex block groups with at most inodes_per_group/16
more directory inodes than average per flex block group. However with
growing size of flex block group this becomes unnecessarily strict.
Scale allowed difference from average directory count per flex block
group with flex block group size as we do with other metrics.

[ Upstream commit 69cb8e9d8cd97cdf5e293b26d70a9dee3e35e6bd ]

This patch avoids an attempt to resize the filesystem to an
unaligned cluster boundary.  An online resize to a size that is not
integral to cluster size results in the last iteration attempting to
grow the fs by a negative amount, which trips a BUG_ON and leaves the fs
with a corrupted in-memory superblock.

Now if check directoy entry is corrupted, ext4_empty_dir may return true
then directory will be removed when file system mounted with "errors=continue".
In order not to make things worse just return false when directory is corrupted.

If the ext4 inode does not have xattr space, 0 is returned in the
get_max_inline_xattr_value_size function. Otherwise, the function returns
a negative value when the inode does not contain EXT4_STATE_XATTR.

commit 7f0d8e1d607c1a4fa9a27362a108921d82230874 upstream.

A race can occur in the unlikely event ext4 is unable to allocate a
physical cluster for a delayed allocation in a bigalloc file system
during writeback.  Failure to allocate a cluster forces error recovery
that includes a call to mpage_release_unused_pages().  That function
removes any corresponding delayed allocated blocks from the extent
status tree.  If a new delayed write is in progress on the same cluster
simultaneously, resulting in the addition of an new extent containing
one or more blocks in that cluster to the extent status tree, delayed
block accounting can be thrown off if that delayed write then encounters
a similar cluster allocation failure during future writeback.

Write lock the i_data_sem in mpage_release_unused_pages() to fix this
problem.  Ext4's block/cluster accounting code for bigalloc relies on
i_data_sem for mutual exclusion, as is found in the delayed write path,
and the locking in mpage_release_unused_pages() is missing.
