In ext4_es_can_be_merged() when checking whether we can merge two
extents we should use EXT_MAX_BLOCKS instead of defining it manually.
Also if it is really the case we should notify userspace because clearly
there is a bug in extent status tree implementation since this should
never happen.

If jbd2_journal_restart() fails the handle will have been disconnected
from the current transaction.  In this situation, the handle must not
be used for for any jbd2 function other than jbd2_journal_stop().
Enforce this with by treating a handle which has a NULL transaction
pointer as an aborted handle, and issue a kernel warning if
jbd2_journal_extent(), jbd2_journal_get_write_access(),
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), etc. is called with an invalid handle.

This commit also fixes a bug where jbd2_journal_stop() would trip over
a kernel jbd2 assertion check when trying to free an invalid handle.

Also move the responsibility of setting current->journal_info to
start_this_handle(), simplifying the three users of this function.

[ Upstream commit 9d506594069355d1fb2de3f9104667312ff08ed3 ]

Currently when journal restart fails, we'll have the h_transaction of
the handle set to NULL to indicate that the handle has been effectively
aborted. We handle this situation quietly in the jbd2_journal_stop() and just
free the handle and exit because everything else has been done before we
attempted (and failed) to restart the journal.

Unfortunately there are a number of problems with that approach
introduced with commit

41a5b913197c "jbd2: invalidate handle if jbd2_journal_restart()
fails"

First of all in ext4 jbd2_journal_stop() will be called through
__ext4_journal_stop() where we would try to get a hold of the superblock
by dereferencing h_transaction which in this case would lead to NULL
pointer dereference and crash.

In addition we're going to free the handle regardless of the refcount
which is bad as well, because others up the call chain will still
reference the handle so we might potentially reference already freed
memory.

Moreover it's expected that we'll get aborted handle as well as detached
handle in some of the journalling function as the error propagates up
the stack, so it's unnecessary to call WARN_ON every time we get
detached handle.

And finally we might leak some memory by forgetting to free reserved
handle in jbd2_journal_stop() in the case where handle was detached from
the transaction (h_transaction is NULL).

Fix the NULL pointer dereference in __ext4_journal_stop() by just
calling jbd2_journal_stop() quietly as suggested by Jan Kara. Also fix
the potential memory leak in jbd2_journal_stop() and use proper
handle refcounting before we attempt to free it to avoid use-after-free
issues.

And finally remove all WARN_ON(!transaction) from the code so that we do
not get random traces when something goes wrong because when journal
restart fails we will get to some of those functions.

There is a use-after-free possibility in __ext4_journal_stop() in the
case that we free the handle in the first jbd2_journal_stop() because
we're referencing handle->h_err afterwards. This was introduced in
9705acd63b125dee8b15c705216d7186daea4625 and it is wrong. Fix it by
storing the handle->h_err value beforehand and avoid referencing

For those file systems(btrfs/ext4/ocfs2/tmpfs) that support
SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE functions, we end up handling the similar
matter in lseek_execute() to update the current file offset
to the desired offset if it is valid, ceph also does the
simliar things at ceph_llseek().

To reduce the duplications, this patch make lseek_execute()
public accessible so that we can call it directly from the
underlying file systems.

[ Upstream commit 624327f8794704c5066b11a52f9da6a09dce7f9a ]

ext4_find_unwritten_pgoff() is used to search for offset of hole or
data in page range [index, end] (both inclusive), and the max number
of pages to search should be at least one, if end == index.
Otherwise the only page is missed and no hole or data is found,
which is not correct.

When block size is smaller than page size, this can be demonstrated
by preallocating a file with size smaller than page size and writing
data to the last block. E.g. run this xfs_io command on a 1k block
size ext4 on x86_64 host.

  # xfs_io -fc "falloc 0 3k" -c "pwrite 2k 1k" \
  	    -c "seek -d 0" /mnt/ext4/testfile
  wrote 1024/1024 bytes at offset 2048
  1 KiB, 1 ops; 0.0000 sec (42.459 MiB/sec and 43478.2609 ops/sec)
  Whence  Result
  DATA    EOF

Data at offset 2k was missed, and lseek(2) returned ENXIO.

This is unconvered by generic/285 subtest 07 and 08 on ppc64 host,
where pagesize is 64k. Because a recent change to generic/285
reduced the preallocated file size to smaller than 64k.

In no journal mode, if an inode has recently been deleted, we
shouldn't reuse it right away.  Otherwise it's possible, after an
unclean shutdown, to hit a situation where a recently deleted inode
gets reused for some other purpose before the inode table block has
been written to disk.  However, if the directory entry has been
updated, then the directory entry will be pointing at the old inode
contents.

E2fsck will make sure the file system is consistent after the
unclean shutdown.  However, if the recently deleted inode is a
character mode device, or an inode with the immutable bit set, even
after the file system has been fixed up by e2fsck, it can be
possible for a *.pyc file to be pointing at a character mode
device, and when python tries to open the *.pyc file, Hilarity
Ensues.  We could change all of userspace to be very suspicious
about stat'ing files before opening them, and clearing the
immutable flag if necessary --- or we can just avoid reusing an
inode number if it has been recently deleted.

[ Upstream commit 6f30b7e37a8239f9d27db626a1d3427bc7951908 ]

Commit 4f579ae7de56 (ext4: fix punch hole on files with indirect
mapping) rewrote FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE for ext4 files with indirect
mapping. However, there are bugs in several corner cases. This fixes 5
distinct bugs:

1. When there is at least one entire level of indirection between the
start and end of the punch range and the end of the punch range is the
first block of its level, we can't return early; we have to free the
intervening levels.

2. When the end is at a higher level of indirection than the start and
ext4_find_shared returns a top branch for the end, we still need to free
the rest of the shared branch it returns; we can't decrement partial2.

3. When a punch happens within one level of indirection, we need to
converge on an indirect block that contains the start and end. However,
because the branches returned from ext4_find_shared do not necessarily
start at the same level (e.g., the partial2 chain will be shallower if
the last block occurs at the beginning of an indirect group), the walk
of the two chains can end up "missing" each other and freeing a bunch of
extra blocks in the process. This mismatch can be handled by first
making sure that the chains are at the same level, then walking them
together until they converge.

4. When the punch happens within one level of indirection and
ext4_find_shared returns a top branch for the start, we must free it,
but only if the end does not occur within that branch.

5. When the punch happens within one level of indirection and
ext4_find_shared returns a top branch for the end, then we shouldn't
free the block referenced by the end of the returned chain (this mirrors
the different levels case).

commit 674a2b27234d1b7afcb0a9162e81b2e53aeef217 upstream.

All indirect buffers get by ext4_find_shared() should be released no
mater the branch should be freed or not. But now, we forget to release
the lower depth indirect buffers when removing space from the same
higher depth indirect block. It will lead to buffer leak and futher
more, it may lead to quota information corruption when using old quota,
consider the following case.

 - Create and mount an empty ext4 filesystem without extent and quota
   features,
 - quotacheck and enable the user & group quota,
 - Create some files and write some data to them, and then punch hole
   to some files of them, it may trigger the buffer leak problem
   mentioned above.
 - Disable quota and run quotacheck again, it will create two new
   aquota files and write the checked quota information to them, which
   probably may reuse the freed indirect block(the buffer and page
   cache was not freed) as data block.
 - Enable quota again, it will invoke
   vfs_load_quota_inode()->invalidate_bdev() to try to clean unused
   buffers and pagecache. Unfortunately, because of the buffer of quota
   data block is still referenced, quota code cannot read the up to date
   quota info from the device and lead to quota information corruption.

This problem can be reproduced by xfstests generic/231 on ext3 file
system or ext4 file system without extent and quota features.

This patch fix this problem by releasing the missing indirect buffers,
in ext4_ind_remove_space().

Use pagevec_lookup_range_tag() in __filemap_fdatawait_range() as it is
interested only in pages from given range.  Remove unnecessary code

Buffer allocation has a very crude indefinite loop around waking the
flusher threads and performing global NOFS direct reclaim because it can
not handle allocation failures.

The most immediate problem with this is that the allocation may fail due
to a memory cgroup limit, where flushers + direct reclaim might not make
any progress towards resolving the situation at all.  Because unlike the
global case, a memory cgroup may not have any cache at all, only
anonymous pages but no swap.  This situation will lead to a reclaim
livelock with insane IO from waking the flushers and thrashing unrelated
filesystem cache in a tight loop.

Use __GFP_NOFAIL allocations for buffers for now.  This makes sure that
any looping happens in the page allocator, which knows how to
orchestrate kswapd, direct reclaim, and the flushers sensibly.  It also
allows memory cgroups to detect allocations that can't handle failure
and will allow them to ultimately bypass the limit if reclaim can not
make progress.

A buffer cache is allocated from movable area because it is referred
for a while and released soon.  But some filesystems are taking buffer
cache for a long time and it can disturb page migration.

New APIs are introduced to allocate buffer cache with user specific
flag.  *_gfp APIs are for user want to set page allocation flag for
page cache allocation.  And *_unmovable APIs are for the user wants to
allocate page cache from non-movable area.
