<id>urn:sha1:36ed9e604215f58cec0381ca5fcc6da05f2d87ca</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 6dbf7bb555981fb5faf7b691e8f6169fc2b2e63b upstream.

If block_write_full_page() is called for a page that is beyond current
inode size, it will truncate page buffers for the page and return 0.
This logic has been added in 2.5.62 in commit 81eb69062588 ("fix ext3
BUG due to race with truncate") in history.git tree to fix a problem
with ext3 in data=ordered mode. This particular problem doesn't exist
anymore because ext3 is long gone and ext4 handles ordered data
differently. Also normally buffers are invalidated by truncate code and
there's no need to specially handle this in -&gt;writepage() code.

This invalidation of page buffers in block_write_full_page() is causing
issues to filesystems (e.g. ext4 or ocfs2) when block device is shrunk
under filesystem's hands and metadata buffers get discarded while being
tracked by the journalling layer. Although it is obviously "not
supported" it can cause kernel crashes like:

[ 7986.689400] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at

[ 7986.836467]  kjournald2+0xbd/0x270 [jbd2]

which is not great. The crash happens because bh-&gt;b_private is suddently
NULL although BH_JBD flag is still set (this is because
block_invalidatepage() cleared BH_Mapped flag and subsequent bh lookup
found buffer without BH_Mapped set, called init_page_buffers() which has
rewritten bh-&gt;b_private). So just remove the invalidation in
block_write_full_page().

Note that the buffer cache invalidation when block device changes size
is already careful to avoid similar problems by using
invalidate_mapping_pages() which skips busy buffers so it was only this
odd block_write_full_page() behavior that could tear down bdev buffers
under filesystem's hands.

Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
fall-through markings when it is the case.

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "Improvements to ext4's block allocator performance for very large file
  systems, especially when the file system or files which are highly
  fragmented. There is a new mount option, prefetch_block_bitmaps which
  will pull in the block bitmaps and set up the in-memory buddy bitmaps
  when the file system is initially mounted.

  Beyond that, a lot of bug fixes and cleanups. In particular, a number
  of changes to make ext4 more robust in the face of write errors or
  file system corruptions"

<content type='text'>
If a device is hot-removed --- for example, when a physical device is
unplugged from pcie slot or a nbd device's network is shutdown ---
this can result in a BUG_ON() crash in submit_bh_wbc().  This is
because the when the block device dies, the buffer heads will have
their Buffer_Mapped flag get cleared, leading to the crash in
submit_bh_wbc.

We had attempted to work around this problem in commit a17712c8
("ext4: check superblock mapped prior to committing").  Unfortunately,
it's still possible to hit the BUG_ON(!buffer_mapped(bh)) if the
device dies between when the work-around check in ext4_commit_super()
and when submit_bh_wbh() is finally called:

Code path:
ext4_commit_super
    judge if 'buffer_mapped(sbh)' is false, return &lt;== commit a17712c8
          lock_buffer(sbh)
          ...
          unlock_buffer(sbh)
               __sync_dirty_buffer(sbh,...
                    lock_buffer(sbh)
                        judge if 'buffer_mapped(sbh))' is false, return &lt;== added by this patch
                            submit_bh(...,sbh)
                                submit_bh_wbc(...,sbh,...)

To address this, add the check of 'buffer_mapped(bh)' to
__sync_dirty_buffer().  This also has the benefit of fixing this for
other file systems.

With this addition, we can drop the workaround in ext4_commit_supper().

<content type='text'>
Wire up ext4 to support inline encryption via the helper functions which
fs/crypto/ now provides.  This includes:

- Adding a mount option 'inlinecrypt' which enables inline encryption
  on encrypted files where it can be used.

- Setting the bio_crypt_ctx on bios that will be submitted to an
  inline-encrypted file.

  Note: submit_bh_wbc() in fs/buffer.c also needed to be patched for
  this part, since ext4 sometimes uses ll_rw_block() on file data.

- Not adding logically discontiguous data to bios that will be submitted
  to an inline-encrypted file.

- Not doing filesystem-layer crypto on inline-encrypted files.

<content type='text'>
When syncing out a block device (a'la __sync_blockdev), any error
encountered will only be recorded in the bd_inode's mapping.  When the
blockdev contains a filesystem however, we'd like to also record the
error in the super_block that's stored there.

Make mark_buffer_write_io_error also record the error in the
corresponding super_block when a writeback error occurs and the block
device contains a mounted superblock.

Since superblocks are RCU freed, hold the rcu_read_lock to ensure that
the superblock doesn't go away while we're marking it.
