In the replay path there's an attempt to lock sbi->s_bdev_wb_lock in

earlier point in __ext4_fill_super() fixes this splat.

ext4: supress data-race warnings in ext4_free_inodes_{count,set}()

commit 902cc179c931a033cd7f4242353aa2733bf8524c upstream.

find_group_other() and find_group_orlov() read *_lo, *_hi with
ext4_free_inodes_count without additional locking. This can cause
data-race warning, but since the lock is held for most writes and free
inodes value is generally not a problem even if it is incorrect, it is
more appropriate to use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() than to add locking.

ext4: fix race in buffer_head read fault injection

[ Upstream commit 2f3d93e210b9c2866c8b3662adae427d5bf511ec ]

When I enabled ext4 debug for fault injection testing, I encountered the
following warning:

EXT4-fs error (device sda): ext4_read_inode_bitmap:201: comm fsstress:
Cannot read inode bitmap - block_group = 8, inode_bitmap = 1051
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 511 at fs/buffer.c:1181 mark_buffer_dirty+0x1b3/0x1d0

The root cause of the issue lies in the improper implementation of ext4's
buffer_head read fault injection. The actual completion of buffer_head
read and the buffer_head fault injection are not atomic, which can lead
to the uptodate flag being cleared on normally used buffer_heads in race
conditions.

<report warning>
WARN_ON_ONCE(!buffer_uptodate(bh))

The best approach would be to perform fault injection in the IO completion
callback function, rather than after IO completion. However, the IO
completion callback function cannot get the fault injection code in sb.

Fix it by passing the result of fault injection into the bh read function,
we simulate faults within the bh read function itself. This requires adding
an extra parameter to the bh read functions that need fault injection.

ext4: avoid remount errors with 'abort' mount option

ext4: avoid remount errors with 'abort' mount option

[ Upstream commit 76486b104168ae59703190566e372badf433314b ]

When we remount filesystem with 'abort' mount option while changing
other mount options as well (as is LTP test doing), we can return error
from the system call after commit d3476f3dad4a ("ext4: don't set
SB_RDONLY after filesystem errors") because the application of mount
option changes detects shutdown filesystem and refuses to do anything.
The behavior of application of other mount options in presence of
'abort' mount option is currently rather arbitary as some mount option
changes are handled before 'abort' and some after it.

Move aborting of the filesystem to the end of remount handling so all
requested changes are properly applied before the filesystem is shutdown
to have a reasonably consistent behavior.

ext4: don't set SB_RDONLY after filesystem errors

[ Upstream commit d3476f3dad4ad68ae5f6b008ea6591d1520da5d8 ]

When the filesystem is mounted with errors=remount-ro, we were setting
SB_RDONLY flag to stop all filesystem modifications. We knew this misses
proper locking (sb->s_umount) and does not go through proper filesystem
remount procedure but it has been the way this worked since early ext2
days and it was good enough for catastrophic situation damage
mitigation. Recently, syzbot has found a way (see link) to trigger
warnings in filesystem freezing because the code got confused by
SB_RDONLY changing under its hands. Since these days we set
EXT4_FLAGS_SHUTDOWN on the superblock which is enough to stop all
filesystem modifications, modifying SB_RDONLY shouldn't be needed. So
stop doing that.

ext4: fix timer use-after-free on failed mount

commit 0ce160c5bdb67081a62293028dc85758a8efb22a upstream.

Syzbot has found an ODEBUG bug in ext4_fill_super

The del_timer_sync function cancels the s_err_report timer,
which reminds about filesystem errors daily. We should
guarantee the timer is no longer active before kfree(sbi).

When filesystem mounting fails, the flow goes to failed_mount3,
where an error occurs when ext4_stop_mmpd is called, causing
a read I/O failure. This triggers the ext4_handle_error function
that ultimately re-arms the timer,
leaving the s_err_report timer active before kfree(sbi) is called.

Fix the issue by canceling the s_err_report timer after calling ext4_stop_mmpd.

We disable stripe size in __ext4_fill_super if it is not a multiple of
the cluster ratio however this check is missed when trying to remount.
This can leave us with cases where stripe < cluster_ratio after
remount:set making EXT4_B2C(sbi->s_stripe) become 0 that can cause some
unforeseen bugs like divide by 0.

Fix that by adding the check in remount path as well.

=========================================================

Normally interval is 0 until s_msg_ratelimit_state is initialized, so
___ratelimit() does nothing. But registering sysfs precedes initializing
rs->lock, so it is possible to change rs->interval to a non-zero value
via the msg_ratelimit_interval_ms interface of sysfs while rs->lock is
uninitialized, and then a call to ext4_msg triggers the problem by
accessing an uninitialized rs->lock. Therefore register sysfs after all
initializations are complete to avoid such problems.

Now, ext4_write_dquot()/ext4_acquire_dquot()/ext4_release_dquot() may commit

To ensure filesystem consistent when errors=remount-ro there is need to call

The immediate cause of this problem is that ext4_should_dioread_nolock()
function returns inconsistent values in the ext4_do_writepages() and
mpage_map_one_extent(). There are four conditions in this function that
can be changed at mount time to cause this problem. These four conditions
can be divided into two categories:

(1) journal_data and EXT4_EXTENTS_FL, which can be changed by ioctl
(2) DELALLOC and DIOREAD_NOLOCK, which can be changed by remount

The two in the first category have been fixed by commit c8585c6fcaf2
("ext4: fix races between changing inode journal mode and ext4_writepages")
and commit cb85f4d23f79 ("ext4: fix race between writepages and enabling
EXT4_EXTENTS_FL") respectively.

Two cases in the other category have not yet been fixed, and the above
issue is caused by this situation. We refer to the fix for the first
category, when applying options during remount, we grab s_writepages_rwsem
to avoid racing with writepages ops to trigger this problem.

Merge tag 'v6.6-rc3.vfs.ctime.revert' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull finegrained timestamp reverts from Christian Brauner:
"Earlier this week we sent a few minor fixes for the multi-grained
timestamp work in [1]. While we were polishing those up after Linus
realized that there might be a nicer way to fix them we received a
regression report in [2] that fine grained timestamps break gnulib
tests and thus possibly other tools.

The kernel will elide fine-grain timestamp updates when no one is
actively querying for them to avoid performance impacts. So a sequence
like write(f1) stat(f2) write(f2) stat(f2) write(f1) stat(f1) may
result in timestamp f1 to be older than the final f2 timestamp even
though f1 was last written too but the second write didn't update the
timestamp.

Such plotholes can lead to subtle bugs when programs compare
timestamps. For example, the nap() function in [2] will estimate that
it needs to wait one ns on a fine-grain timestamp enabled filesytem
between subsequent calls to observe a timestamp change. But in general
we don't update timestamps with more than one jiffie if we think that
no one is actively querying for fine-grain timestamps to avoid
performance impacts.

While discussing various fixes the decision was to go back to the
drawing board and ultimately to explore a solution that involves only
exposing such fine-grained timestamps to nfs internally and never to
userspace.

As there are multiple solutions discussed the honest thing to do here
is not to fix this up or disable it but to cleanly revert. The general
infrastructure will probably come back but there is no reason to keep
this code in mainline.

The general changes to timestamp handling are valid and a good cleanup
that will stay. The revert is fully bisectable"
