Theodore Ts'o 2716b80284 ext4: remove redundundant "(char *) bh->b_data" casts
The b_data field of the buffer_head is already a char *, so there's no
point casting it to a char *.

Haogang Chen 967ac8af44 ext4: fix potential integer overflow in alloc_flex_gd()
In alloc_flex_gd(), when flexbg_size is large, kmalloc size would
overflow and flex_gd->groups would point to a buffer smaller than
expected, causing OOB accesses when it is used.

Note that in ext4_resize_fs(), flexbg_size is calculated using
sbi->s_log_groups_per_flex, which is read from the disk and only bounded
to [1, 31]. The patch returns NULL for too large flexbg_size.

Darrick J. Wong feb0ab32a5 ext4: make block group checksums use metadata_csum algorithm
metadata_csum supersedes uninit_bg.  Convert the ROCOMPAT uninit_bg
flag check to a helper function that covers both, and make the
checksum calculation algorithm use either crc16 or the metadata_csum
chosen algorithm depending on which flag is set.  Print a warning if
we try to mount a filesystem with both feature flags set.

Lukas Czerner a0ade1deb8 ext4: fix resize when resizing within single group
When resizing file system in the way that the new size of the file
system is still in the same group (no new groups are added), then we can
hit a BUG_ON in ext4_alloc_group_tables()

BUG_ON(flex_gd->count == 0 || group_data == NULL);

because flex_gd->count is zero. The reason is the missing check for such
case, so the code always extend the last group fully and then attempt to
add more groups, but at that time n_blocks_count is actually smaller
than o_blocks_count.

It can be easily reproduced like this:

mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 /dev/sda 30M
mount /dev/sda /mnt/test
resize2fs /dev/sda 50M

Fix this by checking whether the resize happens within the singe group
and only add that many blocks into the last group to satisfy user
request. Then o_blocks_count == n_blocks_count and the resize will exit
successfully without and attempt to add more groups into the fs.

Also fix mixing together block number and blocks count which might be
confusing and can easily lead to off-by-one errors (but it is actually
not the case here since the two occurrence of this mix-up will cancel
each other).

Yongqiang Yang 19c5246d25 ext4: add new online resize interface
This patch adds new online resize interface, whose input argument is a
64-bit integer indicating how many blocks there are in the resized fs.

In new resize impelmentation, all work like allocating group tables
are done by kernel side, so the new resize interface can support
flex_bg feature and prepares ground for suppoting resize with features
like bigalloc and exclude bitmap. Besides these, user-space tools just
passes in the new number of blocks.

We delay initializing the bitmaps and inode tables of added groups if
possible and add multi groups (a flex groups) each time, so new resize
is very fast like mkfs.

This patch simplifies journal handling in setup_new_group_blocks().

In previous code, block bitmap is modified everywhere in
setup_new_group_blocks(), ext4_get_write_access() in

bitmap stays in the new handle, this makes things complicated.

The previous commit changed things so that the modifications on the
block bitmap are batched and done by ext4_set_bits() at the end of the
for loop.  This allows us to simplify things.

Theodore Ts'o a0375156ca ext4: Clean up s_dirt handling
We don't need to set s_dirt in most of the ext4 code when journaling
is enabled.  In ext3/4 some of the summary statistics for # of free
inodes, blocks, and directories are calculated from the per-block
group statistics when the file system is mounted or unmounted.  As a
result the superblock doesn't have to be updated, either via the
journal or by setting s_dirt.  There are a few exceptions, most
notably when resizing the file system, where the superblock needs to
be modified --- and in that case it should be done as a journalled
operation if possible, and s_dirt set only in no-journal mode.

This patch will optimize out some unneeded disk writes when using ext4
with a journal.

Eric Sandeen 12062dddda ext4: move __func__ into a macro for ext4_warning, ext4_error
Just a pet peeve of mine; we had a mishash of calls with either __func__
or "function_name" and the latter tends to get out of sync.

I think it's easier to just hide the __func__ in a macro, and it'll
be consistent from then on.

Aneesh Kumar K.V 08c3a81338 ext4: Clarify the locking details in mballoc
We don't need to take the alloc_sem lock when we are adding new
groups, since mballoc won't see the new group added until we bump
sbi->s_groups_count.
