commit 356227096eb66e41b23caf7045e6304877322edf upstream.

Replace BUG_ON() with proper error handling when inline data size
exceeds PAGE_SIZE. This prevents kernel panic and allows the system to
continue running while properly reporting the filesystem corruption.

The error is logged via ext4_error_inode(), the buffer head is released
to prevent memory leak, and -EFSCORRUPTED is returned to indicate
filesystem corruption.

<title>ext4: add i_data_sem protection in ext4_destroy_inline_data_nolock()</title>

commit 0cd8feea8777f8d9b9a862b89c688b049a5c8475 upstream.

Fix a race between inline data destruction and block mapping.

The function ext4_destroy_inline_data_nolock() changes the inode data
layout by clearing EXT4_INODE_INLINE_DATA and setting EXT4_INODE_EXTENTS.
At the same time, another thread may execute ext4_map_blocks(), which
tests EXT4_INODE_EXTENTS to decide whether to call ext4_ext_map_blocks()
or ext4_ind_map_blocks().

Without i_data_sem protection, ext4_ind_map_blocks() may receive inode
with EXT4_INODE_EXTENTS flag and triggering assert.

<title>ext4: refresh inline data size before write operations</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 892e1cf17555735e9d021ab036c36bc7b58b0e3b upstream.

The cached ei-&gt;i_inline_size can become stale between the initial size
check and when ext4_update_inline_data()/ext4_create_inline_data() use
it. Although ext4_get_max_inline_size() reads the correct value at the
time of the check, concurrent xattr operations can modify i_inline_size
before ext4_write_lock_xattr() is acquired.

This causes ext4_update_inline_data() and ext4_create_inline_data() to
work with stale capacity values, leading to a BUG_ON() crash in
ext4_write_inline_data():

  kernel BUG at fs/ext4/inline.c:1331!
  BUG_ON(pos + len &gt; EXT4_I(inode)-&gt;i_inline_size);

The race window:
1. ext4_get_max_inline_size() reads i_inline_size = 60 (correct)
2. Size check passes for 50-byte write
3. [Another thread adds xattr, i_inline_size changes to 40]
4. ext4_write_lock_xattr() acquires lock
5. ext4_update_inline_data() uses stale i_inline_size = 60
6. Attempts to write 50 bytes but only 40 bytes actually available
7. BUG_ON() triggers

Fix this by recalculating i_inline_size via ext4_find_inline_data_nolock()
immediately after acquiring xattr_sem. This ensures ext4_update_inline_data()
and ext4_create_inline_data() work with current values that are protected
from concurrent modifications.

This is similar to commit a54c4613dac1 ("ext4: fix race writing to an
inline_data file while its xattrs are changing") which fixed i_inline_off
staleness. This patch addresses the related i_inline_size staleness issue.

A syzbot fuzzed image triggered a BUG_ON in ext4_update_inline_data()
when an inode had the INLINE_DATA_FL flag set but was missing the
system.data extended attribute.

Since this can happen due to a maiciouly fuzzed file system, we
shouldn't BUG, but rather, report it as a corrupted file system.

Add similar replacements of BUG_ON with EXT4_ERROR_INODE() ii
ext4_create_inline_data() and ext4_inline_data_truncate().

<content type='text'>
There was a lot of common code in the codepaths used to convert an
inline directory and to creaet a new directory.  To address this,
rename ext4_init_dot_dotdot() to ext4_init_dirblock() and then move
common code into that function.

This reduces the lines of code count in fs/ext4/inline.c and
fs/ext4/namei.c, as well as reducing the size of their object files.

The strcpy() function is considered dangerous and eeeevil by people
who are using sophisticated code analysis tools such as "grep".  This
is true even when a quick inspection would show that the source is a
constant string ("." or "..") and the destination is a fixed array
which is guaranteed to have enough space.  Make the "grep" code
analysis tool happy by using memcpy() isstead of strcpy().  :-)

<title>ext4: Make sure BH_New bit is cleared in -&gt;write_end handler</title>

<id>91b8ca8b26729b729dda8a4eddb9aceaea706f37</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we clear BH_New bit in case of error and also in the standard
ext4_write_end() handler (in block_commit_write()). However
ext4_journalled_write_end() misses this clearing and thus we are leaving
stale BH_New bits behind. Generally ext4_block_write_begin() clears
these bits before any harm can be done but in case blocksize &lt; pagesize
and we hit some error when processing a page with these stale bits,
we'll try to zero buffers with these stale BH_New bits and jbd2 will
complain (as buffers were not prepared for writing in this transaction).
Fix the problem by clearing BH_New bits in ext4_journalled_write_end()
and WARN if ext4_block_write_begin() sees stale BH_New bits.

Currently we clear BH_New bit in case of error and also in the standard
ext4_write_end() handler (in block_commit_write()). However
ext4_journalled_write_end() misses this clearing and thus we are leaving
stale BH_New bits behind. Generally ext4_block_write_begin() clears
these bits before any harm can be done but in case blocksize &lt; pagesize
and we hit some error when processing a page with these stale bits,
we'll try to zero buffers with these stale BH_New bits and jbd2 will
complain (as buffers were not prepared for writing in this transaction).
Fix the problem by clearing BH_New bits in ext4_journalled_write_end()
and WARN if ext4_block_write_begin() sees stale BH_New bits.

<title>ext4: replace ext4_writepage_trans_blocks()</title>

After ext4 supports large folios, the semantics of reserving credits in
pages is no longer applicable. In most scenarios, reserving credits in
extents is sufficient. Therefore, introduce ext4_chunk_trans_extent()
to replace ext4_writepage_trans_blocks(). move_extent_per_page() is the
only remaining location where we are still processing extents in pages.

<title>ext4: inline: fix len overflow in ext4_prepare_inline_data</title>

When running the following code on an ext4 filesystem with inline_data
feature enabled, it will lead to the bug below.

        fd = open("file1", O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, 0666);
        ftruncate(fd, 30);
        pwrite(fd, "a", 1, (1UL &lt;&lt; 40) + 5UL);

That happens because write_begin will succeed as when
ext4_generic_write_inline_data calls ext4_prepare_inline_data, pos + len
will be truncated, leading to ext4_prepare_inline_data parameter to be 6
instead of 0x10000000006.

Then, later when write_end is called, we hit:

        BUG_ON(pos + len &gt; EXT4_I(inode)-&gt;i_inline_size);

at ext4_write_inline_data.

Fix it by using a loff_t type for the len parameter in
ext4_prepare_inline_data instead of an unsigned int.

<title>ext4: for committing inode, make ext4_fc_track_inode wait</title>

If the inode that's being requested to track using ext4_fc_track_inode
is being committed, then wait until the inode finishes the
commit. Also, add calls to ext4_fc_track_inode at the right places.
With this patch, now calling ext4_reserve_inode_write() results in
inode being tracked for next fast commit. This ensures that by the
time ext4_reserve_inode_write() returns, it is ready to be modified
and won't be committed until the corresponding handle is open.

A subtle lock ordering requirement with i_data_sem (which is
documented in the code) requires that ext4_fc_track_inode() be called
before grabbing i_data_sem. So, this patch also adds explicit
ext4_fc_track_inode() calls in places where i_data_sem grabbed.
