Linus Torvalds bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

Kees Cook 69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

David LaightandChristian Brauner 0f5bb0cfb0 fs: use min() or umin() instead of min_t()
min_t(unsigned int, a, b) casts an 'unsigned long' to 'unsigned int'.
Use min(a, b) instead as it promotes any 'unsigned int' to 'unsigned long'
and so cannot discard significant bits.

A couple of places need umin() because of loops like:
	nfolios = DIV_ROUND_UP(ret + start, PAGE_SIZE);

	for (i = 0; i < nfolios; i++) {
		struct folio *folio = page_folio(pages[i]);
		...
		unsigned int len = umin(ret, PAGE_SIZE - start);
		...
		ret -= len;
		...
	}
where the compiler doesn't track things well enough to know that
'ret' is never negative.

The alternate loop:
        for (i = 0; ret > 0; i++) {
                struct folio *folio = page_folio(pages[i]);
                ...
                unsigned int len = min(ret, PAGE_SIZE - start);
                ...
                ret -= len;
                ...
        }
would be equivalent and doesn't need 'nfolios'.

Most of the 'unsigned long' actually come from PAGE_SIZE.

Detected by an extra check added to min_t().

Eric BiggersandTheodore Ts'o e224fa3b8a ext4: remove redundant function ext4_has_metadata_csum
Since commit f2b4fa1964 ("ext4: switch to using the crc32c library"),
ext4_has_metadata_csum() is just an alias for
ext4_has_feature_metadata_csum().  ext4_has_feature_metadata_csum() is
generated by EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_FUNCS and uses the regular naming
convention for checking a single ext4 feature.  Therefore, remove
ext4_has_metadata_csum() and update all its callers to use
ext4_has_feature_metadata_csum() directly.

Long LiandTheodore Ts'o 2f3d93e210 ext4: fix race in buffer_head read fault injection
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.

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.

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

While reviewing the patch, Honza found that when adjusting resize_bg in
alloc_flex_gd(), it was possible for flex_gd->resize_bg to be bigger than
flexbg_size.

The reproduction of the problem requires the following:

 o_group = flexbg_size * 2 * n;
 o_size = (o_group + 1) * group_size;
 n_group: [o_group + flexbg_size, o_group + flexbg_size * 2)
 o_size = (n_group + 1) * group_size;

Take n=0,flexbg_size=16 as an example:

              last:15
|o---------------|--------------n-|
o_group:0    resize to      n_group:30

The corresponding reproducer is:

img=test.img
rm -f $img
truncate -s 600M $img
mkfs.ext4 -F $img -b 1024 -G 16 8M
dev=`losetup -f --show $img`
mkdir -p /tmp/test
mount $dev /tmp/test
resize2fs $dev 248M

Delete the problematic plus 1 to fix the issue, and add a WARN_ON_ONCE()
to prevent the issue from happening again.

[ Note: another reproucer which this commit fixes is:

  img=test.img
  rm -f $img
  truncate -s 25MiB $img
  mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -E nodiscard,lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 $img

Srivathsa DaraandTheodore Ts'o 07be778c70 ext4: enable meta_bg only when new desc blocks are needed
This patch addresses an issue observed when resize_inode is disabled
and an online extension of a filesysyem is performed. When a filesystem
is expanded to a size that does not require a addition of a new
descriptor block, the meta_bg feature is being enabled even though no
part of the filesystem uses this layout.

This patch ensures that the meta_bg feature is only enabled if
any of the added block groups utilize meta_bg layout.

Maximilian HeyneandTheodore Ts'o a6b3bfe176 ext4: fix corruption during on-line resize
We observed a corruption during on-line resize of a file system that is
larger than 16 TiB with 4k block size. With having more then 2^32 blocks
resize_inode is turned off by default by mke2fs. The issue can be
reproduced on a smaller file system for convenience by explicitly
turning off resize_inode. An on-line resize across an 8 GiB boundary (the
size of a meta block group in this setup) then leads to a corruption:

  dev=/dev/<some_dev> # should be >= 16 GiB
  mkdir -p /corruption
  /sbin/mke2fs -t ext4 -b 4096 -O ^resize_inode $dev $((2 * 2**21 - 2**15))
  mount -t ext4 $dev /corruption

  dd if=/dev/zero bs=4096 of=/corruption/test count=$((2*2**21 - 4*2**15))
  sha1sum /corruption/test
  # 79d2658b39dcfd77274e435b0934028adafaab11  /corruption/test

  /sbin/resize2fs $dev $((2*2**21))
  # drop page cache to force reload the block from disk
  echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

  sha1sum /corruption/test
  # 3c2abc63cbf1a94c9e6977e0fbd72cd832c4d5c3  /corruption/test

2^21 = 2^15*2^6 equals 8 GiB whereof 2^15 is the number of blocks per
block group and 2^6 are the number of block groups that make a meta
block group.

The last checksum might be different depending on how the file is laid
out across the physical blocks. The actual corruption occurs at physical
block 63*2^15 = 2064384 which would be the location of the backup of the
meta block group's block descriptor. During the on-line resize the file
system will be converted to meta_bg starting at s_first_meta_bg which is
2 in the example - meaning all block groups after 16 GiB. However, in
ext4_flex_group_add we might add block groups that are not part of the
first meta block group yet. In the reproducer we achieved this by
substracting the size of a whole block group from the point where the
meta block group would start. This must be considered when updating the
backup block group descriptors to follow the non-meta_bg layout. The fix
is to add a test whether the group to add is already part of the meta
block group or not.

Baokun LiandTheodore Ts'o 665d3e0af4 ext4: reduce unnecessary memory allocation in alloc_flex_gd()
When a large flex_bg file system is resized, the number of groups to be
added may be small, and a large amount of memory that will not be used will
be allocated. Therefore, resize_bg can be set to the size after the number
of new_group_data to be used is aligned upwards to the power of 2. This
does not affect the disk layout after online resize and saves some memory.

This is because flexbg_size is too large and the size of the new_group_data
array to be allocated exceeds MAX_ORDER. Currently, the minimum value of
MAX_ORDER is 8, the minimum value of PAGE_SIZE is 4096, the corresponding
maximum number of groups that can be allocated is:

 (PAGE_SIZE << MAX_ORDER) / sizeof(struct ext4_new_group_data) ≈ 21845

And the value that is down-aligned to the power of 2 is 16384. Therefore,
this value is defined as MAX_RESIZE_BG, and the number of groups added
each time does not exceed this value during resizing, and is added multiple
times to complete the online resizing. The difference is that the metadata
in a flex_bg may be more dispersed.

Baokun LiandTheodore Ts'o 658a52344f ext4: unify the type of flexbg_size to unsigned int
The maximum value of flexbg_size is 2^31, but the maximum value of int
is (2^31 - 1), so overflow may occur when the type of flexbg_size is
declared as int.

For example, when uninit_mask is initialized in ext4_alloc_group_tables(),
if flexbg_size == 2^31, the initialized uninit_mask is incorrect, and this
may causes set_flexbg_block_bitmap() to trigger a BUG_ON().

Therefore, the flexbg_size type is declared as unsigned int to avoid
overflow and memory waste.

Kemeng ShiandTheodore Ts'o 40dd7953f4 ext4: remove gdb backup copy for meta bg in setup_new_flex_group_blocks
Wrong check of gdb backup in meta bg as following:
first_group is the first group of meta_bg which contains target group, so
target group is always >= first_group. We check if target group has gdb
backup by comparing first_group with [group + 1] and [group +
EXT4_DESC_PER_BLOCK(sb) - 1]. As group >= first_group, then [group + N] is
> first_group. So no copy of gdb backup in meta bg is done in
setup_new_flex_group_blocks.

No need to do gdb backup copy in meta bg from setup_new_flex_group_blocks
as we always copy updated gdb block to backups at end of
ext4_flex_group_add as following:

ext4_flex_group_add
  /* no gdb backup copy for meta bg any more */
  setup_new_flex_group_blocks

  /* update current group number */
  ext4_update_super
    sbi->s_groups_count += flex_gd->count;

  /*
   * if group in meta bg contains backup is added, the primary gdb block
   * of the meta bg will be copy to backup in new added group here.
   */
  for (; gdb_num <= gdb_num_end; gdb_num++)
    update_backups(...)

In summary, we can remove wrong gdb backup copy code in
setup_new_flex_group_blocks.
