Commit 8811930d ("splice: missing user pointer access verification") added the proper access_ok() calls to copy_from_user_mmap_sem() which ensures we can copy the struct iovecs from userspace to the kernel. But we also must check whether we can access the actual memory region pointed to by the struct iovec to fix the access checks properly.

htb_requeue() enqueues skbs for which htb_classify() returns NULL. This is wrong because such skbs could be handled by NET_CLS_ACT code, and the decision could be different than earlier in htb_enqueue(). So htb_requeue() is changed to work and look more like htb_enqueue(). Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This flag is simply a generic "this is a crash/burn test filesystem" marker. If it is set, then filesystem code which is "in development" will be allowed to mount the filesystem. Filesystem code which is not considered ready for prime-time will check for this flag, and if it is not set, it will refuse to touch the filesystem. As we start rolling ext4 out to distro's like Fedora, et. al, this makes it less likely that a user might accidentally start using ext4 on a production filesystem; a bad thing, since that will essentially make it be unfsckable until e2fsprogs catches up.

struct ext4_allocation_context is rather large, and this bloats the stack of many functions which use it. Allocating it from a named slab cache will alleviate this. For example, with this change (on top of the noinline patch sent earlier): -ext4_mb_new_blocks 200 +ext4_mb_new_blocks 40 -ext4_mb_free_blocks 344 +ext4_mb_free_blocks 168 -ext4_mb_release_inode_pa 216 +ext4_mb_release_inode_pa 40 -ext4_mb_release_group_pa 192 +ext4_mb_release_group_pa 24 Most of these stack-allocated structs are actually used only for mballoc history; and in those cases often a smaller struct would do. So changing that may be another way around it, at least for those functions, if preferred. For now, in those cases where the ac is only for history, an allocation failure simply skips the history recording, and does not cause any other failures.

In JBD2 jbd2_journal_write_commit_record(), clear the buffer_ordered flag for the bh after barried IO has succeed. This prevents later, if the same buffer head were submitted to the underlying device, which has been reconfigured to not support barrier request, the JBD2 commit code could treat it as a normal IO (without barrier). This is a port from JBD/ext3 fix from Neil Brown. More details from Neil: Some devices - notably dm and md - can change their behaviour in response to BIO_RW_BARRIER requests. They might start out accepting such requests but on reconfiguration, they find out that they cannot any more. JBD2 deal with this by always testing if BIO_RW_BARRIER requests fail with EOPNOTSUPP, and retrying the write requests without the barrier (probably after waiting for any pending writes to complete). However there is a bug in the handling this in JBD2 for ext4 . When ext4/JBD2 to submit a BIO_RW_BARRIER request, it sets the buffer_ordered flag on the buffer head. If the request completes successfully, the flag STAYS SET. Other code might then write the same buffer_head after the device has been reconfigured to not accept barriers. This write will then fail, but the "other code" is not ready to handle EOPNOTSUPP errors and the error will be treated as fatal.

We cannot start transaction in ext4_direct_IO() and just let it last during the whole write because dio_get_page() acquires mmap_sem which ranks above transaction start (e.g. because we have dependency chain mmap_sem->PageLock->journal_start, or because we update atime while holding mmap_sem) and thus deadlocks could happen. We solve the problem by starting a transaction separately for each ext4_get_block() call. We *could* have a problem that we allocate a block and before its data are written out the machine crashes and thus we expose stale data. But that does not happen because for hole-filling generic code falls back to buffered writes and for file extension, we add inode to orphan list and thus in case of crash, journal replay will truncate inode back to the original size.

Right now, we check only the first 4k page for static required protections. This does not take overlapping regions into account. So we might end up setting the wrong permissions/protections for other parts of this large page. This can be optimized further, but correctness is the important part.
