especially if the failure is EFSCORRUPTED.

Normally the extended attributes in the inode body would have been
checked when the inode is first opened, but if someone is writing to
the block device while the file system is mounted, it's possible for
the inode table to get corrupted. Add bounds checking to avoid
reading beyond the end of allocated memory if this happens.

Whether the file system is mounted read-only or read/write is more
important than the quota mode, which we are already printing. Add the
ro vs r/w indication since this can be helpful in debugging problems
from the console log.

If there are failures while changing the mount options in
__ext4_remount(), we need to restore the old mount options.
This commit fixes two problem. The first is there is a chance that we
will free the old quota file names before a potential failure leading
to a use-after-free. The second problem addressed in this commit is
if there is a failed read/write to read-only transition, if the quota
has already been suspended, we need to renable quota handling.

Ext4 has a filesystem wide lock protecting ext4_writepages() calls to
avoid races with switching of journalled data flag or inode format. This
lock can however cause a deadlock like:
CPU0 CPU1
ext4_writepages()
percpu_down_read(sbi->s_writepages_rwsem);
ext4_change_inode_journal_flag()
percpu_down_write(sbi->s_writepages_rwsem);
- blocks, all readers block from now on
ext4_do_writepages()
ext4_init_io_end()
kmem_cache_zalloc(io_end_cachep, GFP_KERNEL)
fs_reclaim frees dentry...
dentry_unlink_inode()
iput() - last ref =>
iput_final() - inode dirty =>
write_inode_now()...
ext4_writepages() tries to acquire sbi->s_writepages_rwsem
and blocks forever
Make sure we cannot recurse into filesystem reclaim from writeback code
to avoid the deadlock.

Previously, ext4_get_group_info() would treat an invalid group number
as BUG(), since in theory it should never happen. However, if a
malicious attaker (or fuzzer) modifies the superblock via the block
device while it is the file system is mounted, it is possible for
s_first_data_block to get set to a very large number. In that case,
when calculating the block group of some block number (such as the
starting block of a preallocation region), could result in an
underflow and very large block group number. Then the BUG_ON check in
ext4_get_group_info() would fire, resutling in a denial of service
attack that can be triggered by root or someone with write access to
the block device.
For a quality of implementation perspective, it's best that even if
the system administrator does something that they shouldn't, that it
will not trigger a BUG. So instead of BUG'ing, ext4_get_group_info()
will call ext4_error and return NULL. We also add fallback code in
all of the callers of ext4_get_group_info() that it might NULL.
Also, since ext4_get_group_info() was already borderline to be an
inline function, un-inline it. The results in a next reduction of the
compiled text size of ext4 by roughly 2k.

When we enable MMP in ext4_multi_mount_protect() during mount or
remount, we end up calling sb_start_write() from write_mmp_block(). This
triggers lockdep warning because freeze protection ranks above s_umount
semaphore we are holding during mount / remount. The problem is harmless
because we are guaranteed the filesystem is not frozen during mount /
remount but still let's fix the warning by not grabbing freeze
protection from ext4_multi_mount_protect().

ext4: clean up error handling in __ext4_fill_super()

ext4: fix lost error code reporting in __ext4_fill_super()
ext4: fix unused iterator variable warnings
ext4: fix use-after-free read in ext4_find_extent for bigalloc + inline
ext4: fix i_disksize exceeding i_size problem in paritally written case
There were two ways to return an error code; one was via setting the
'err' variable, and the second, if err was zero, was via the 'ret'
variable. This was both confusing and fragile, and when code was
factored out of __ext4_fill_super(), some of the error codes returned
by the original code was replaced by -EINVAL, and in one case, the
error code was placed by 0, triggering a kernel null pointer
dereference.
Clean this up by removing the 'ret' variable, leaving only one way to
set the error code to be returned, and restore the errno codes that
were returned via the the mount system call as they were before we
started refactoring __ext4_fill_super().

When code was factored out of __ext4_fill_super() into
ext4_percpu_param_init() the error return was discarded. This meant
that it was possible for __ext4_fill_super() to return zero,
indicating success, without the struct super getting completely filled
in, leading to a potential NULL pointer dereference.

Above issue is happens when enable bigalloc and inline data feature. As
commit 131294c35e fixed delayed allocation bug in ext4_clu_mapped for
bigalloc + inline. But it only resolved issue when has inline data, if
inline data has been converted to extent(ext4_da_convert_inline_data_to_extent)
before writepages, there is no EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag. However
i_data is still store inline data in this scene. Then will trigger UAF
when find extent.
To resolve above issue, there is need to add judge "ext4_has_inline_data(inode)"
in ext4_clu_mapped().

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
- Cleanup of the io-wq per-node mapping, notably getting rid of it so
we just have a single io_wq entry per ring (Breno)
- Followup to the above, move accounting to io_wq as well and
completely drop struct io_wqe (Gabriel)
- Enable KASAN for the internal io_uring caches (Breno)
- Add support for multishot timeouts. Some applications use timeouts to
wake someone waiting on completion entries, and this makes it a bit
easier to just have a recurring timer rather than needing to rearm it
every time (David)
- Support archs that have shared cache coloring between userspace and
the kernel, and hence have strict address requirements for mmap'ing
the ring into userspace. This should only be parisc/hppa. (Helge, me)
- XFS has supported O_DIRECT writes without needing to lock the inode
exclusively for a long time, and ext4 now supports it as well. This
is true for the common cases of not extending the file size. Flag the
fs as having that feature, and utilize that to avoid serializing
those writes in io_uring (me)
- Enable completion batching for uring commands (me)
- Revert patch adding io_uring restriction to what can be GUP mapped or
not. This does not belong in io_uring, as io_uring isn't really
special in this regard. Since this is also getting in the way of
cleanups and improvements to the GUP code, get rid of if (me)
- A few series greatly reducing the complexity of registered resources,
like buffers or files. Not only does this clean up the code a lot,
the simplified code is also a LOT more efficient (Pavel)
- Series optimizing how we wait for events and run task_work related to
it (Pavel)
- Fixes for file/buffer unregistration with DEFER_TASKRUN (Pavel)

Pull acl updates from Christian Brauner:
"After finishing the introduction of the new posix acl api last cycle
the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers are still around in the
filesystems xattr handlers for two reasons:
(1) Because a few filesystems rely on the ->list() method of the
generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers in their ->listxattr() inode
operation.
(2) POSIX ACLs are only available if IOP_XATTR is raised. The
IOP_XATTR flag is raised in inode_init_always() based on whether
the sb->s_xattr pointer is non-NULL. IOW, the registered xattr
handlers of the filesystem are used to raise IOP_XATTR. Removing
the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers from all filesystems would
risk regressing filesystems that only implement POSIX ACL support
and no other xattrs (nfs3 comes to mind).
This contains the work to decouple POSIX ACLs from the IOP_XATTR flag
as they don't depend on xattr handlers anymore. So it's now possible
to remove the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers from the sb->s_xattr
list of all filesystems. This is a crucial step as the generic POSIX
ACL xattr handlers aren't used for POSIX ACLs anymore and POSIX ACLs
don't depend on the xattr infrastructure anymore.
Adressing problem (1) will require more long-term work. It would be
best to get rid of the ->list() method of xattr handlers completely at
some point.
For erofs, ext{2,4}, f2fs, jffs2, ocfs2, and reiserfs the nop POSIX
ACL xattr handler is kept around so they can continue to use
array-based xattr handler indexing.
This update does simplify the ->listxattr() implementation of all
these filesystems however"

The handling of journalled data in ext4_zero_range() is incomplete. We
do not need to commit running transaction but we rather need to
checkpoint pages with journalled data. If we don't, journal tail can be
advanced beyond transaction containing the journalled data and if we
then crash before committing the transaction doing the zeroing we will
have inconsistent (too old) data in the file. Make sure file pages with

When journalling data we currently just walk over pages, journal those
that are marked for delayed dirtying (only pinned pages dirtied behing
our back these days) and checkpoint other dirty pages. Because some
pages may be part of running transaction the result is that after
filemap_write_and_wait() we are not guaranteed pages are stable on disk.
Thus places that want to flush current pagecache content need to jump
through hoops to make sure journalled data is not lost. This is
manageable in cases completely controlled by ext4 (such as extent
shifting operations or inode eviction) but it gets ugly for stuff like
fsverity. Furthermore it is rather error prone as people often do not
realize journalled data needs special handling.
So change ext4_writepages() to commit transaction with inode's data
before going through the writeback loop in WB_SYNC_ALL mode. As a result
filemap_write_and_wait() is now really getting pages to stable storage
and makes pagecache pages safe to reclaim. Consequently we can remove
the special handling of journalled data from several places in follow up
patches.
Note that this will make fsync(2) for journalled data more expensive as
we will end up not only committing the transaction we need but also
checkpointing the data (which we may have previously skipped if the data
was part of the running transaction). If we really cared, we would need
to introduce special VFS function for writing out & invalidating page
cache for a range, use ->launder_page callback to perform checkpointing,
and use it from all the places that need this functionality. But at this
point I'm not convinced the complexity is worth it.

With journalled data it can happen that checkpointing code will write
out page contents without clearing the page dirty bit. The logic in
ext4_page_nomap_can_writeout() then results in us never calling
mpage_submit_page() and thus clearing the dirty bit. Drop the
optimization with ext4_page_nomap_can_writeout() and just always call to
mpage_submit_page(). ext4_bio_write_page() knows when to redirty the
page and the additional clearing & setting of page dirty bit for ordered
mode writeout is not that expensive to jump through the hoops for it.

Currently we clear page dirty bit when we checkpoint some buffers from a
page with journalled data or when we perform delayed dirtying of a page
in ext4_writepages(). In a quest to simplify handling of journalled data
we want to keep page dirty as long as it has either buffers to
checkpoint or journalled dirty data. So make sure to keep page dirty in
ext4_writepages() if it still has journalled data attached to it.
