      kernel/resource.c: fix muxed resource handling in __request_region() · c40374d5
      Simon Guinot authored 
      commit 59ceeaaf upstream.

In __request_region, if a conflict with a BUSY and MUXED resource is
detected, then the caller goes to sleep and waits for the resource to be
released.  A pointer on the conflicting resource is kept.  At wake-up
this pointer is used as a parent to retry to request the region.

A first problem is that this pointer might well be invalid (if for
example the conflicting resource have already been freed).  Another
problem is that the next call to __request_region() fails to detect a
remaining conflict.  The previously conflicting resource is passed as a
parameter and __request_region() will look for a conflict among the
children of this resource and not at the resource itself.  It is likely
to succeed anyway, even if there is still a conflict.

Instead, the parent of the conflicting resource should be passed to
__request_region().

As a fix, this patch doesn't update the parent resource pointer in the
case we have to wait for a muxed region right after.

      ext4: fix crashes in dioread_nolock mode · c0c009a0
      Jan Kara authored 
      commit 74dae427 upstream.

Competing overwrite DIO in dioread_nolock mode will just overwrite
pointer to io_end in the inode. This may result in data corruption or
extent conversion happening from IO completion interrupt because we
don't properly set buffer_defer_completion() when unlocked DIO races
with locked DIO to unwritten extent.

Since unlocked DIO doesn't need io_end for anything, just avoid
allocating it and corrupting pointer from inode for locked DIO.
A cleaner fix would be to avoid these games with io_end pointer from the
inode but that requires more intrusive changes so we leave that for
later.

      ext4: fix bh->b_state corruption · 6d4048ac
      Jan Kara authored 
      commit ed8ad838 upstream.

ext4 can update bh->b_state non-atomically in _ext4_get_block() and
ext4_da_get_block_prep(). Usually this is fine since bh is just a
temporary storage for mapping information on stack but in some cases it
can be fully living bh attached to a page. In such case non-atomic
update of bh->b_state can race with an atomic update which then gets
lost. Usually when we are mapping bh and thus updating bh->b_state
non-atomically, nobody else touches the bh and so things work out fine
but there is one case to especially worry about: ext4_finish_bio() uses
BH_Uptodate_Lock on the first bh in the page to synchronize handling of
PageWriteback state. So when blocksize < pagesize, we can be atomically
modifying bh->b_state of a buffer that actually isn't under IO and thus
can race e.g. with delalloc trying to map that buffer. The result is
that we can mistakenly set / clear BH_Uptodate_Lock bit resulting in the
corruption of PageWriteback state or missed unlock of BH_Uptodate_Lock.

Fix the problem by always updating bh->b_state bits atomically.
