If we receive a file handle, either from NFS or open_by_handle_at(2),
and it points at an inode which has not been initialized, and the file
system has metadata checksums enabled, we shouldn't try to get the
inode, discover the checksum is invalid, and then declare the file
system as being inconsistent.
This can be reproduced by creating a test file system via "mke2fs -t
ext4 -O metadata_csum /tmp/foo.img 8M", mounting it, cd'ing into that

Today, when sb_bread() returns NULL, this can either be because of an
I/O error or because the system failed to allocate the buffer. Since
it's an old interface, changing would require changing many call
sites.
So instead we create our own ext4_sb_bread(), which also allows us to
set the REQ_META flag.
Also fixed a problem in the xattr code where a NULL return in a
function could also mean that the xattr was not found, which could
lead to the wrong error getting returned to userspace.

Extended attribute names are defined to be NUL-terminated, so the name
must not contain a NUL character. This is important because there are
places when remove extended attribute, the code uses strlen to
determine the length of the entry. That should probably be fixed at
some point, but code is currently really messy, so the simplest fix
for now is to simply validate that the extended attributes are sane.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Original Lustre ea_inode feature did not have ref counts on xattr inodes
because there was always one parent that referenced it. New
implementation expects ref count to be initialized which is not true for
Lustre case. Handle this by detecting Lustre created xattr inode and set
its ref count to 1.
The quota handling of xattr inodes have also changed with deduplication
support. New implementation manually manages quotas to support sharing
across multiple users. A consequence is that, a referencing inode
incorporates the blocks of xattr inode into its own i_block field.
We need to know how a xattr inode was created so that we can reverse the
block charges during reference removal. This is handled by introducing a
EXT4_STATE_LUSTRE_EA_INODE flag. The flag is set on a xattr inode if
inode appears to have been created by Lustre. During xattr inode reference
removal, the manual quota uncharge is skipped if the flag is set.

deduplication is not achieved.

Currently, if the removed entry is the last one and there are other
entries remaining, hash calculation targets the just erased entry which
has been filled with zeroes and effectively does nothing. If the removed
entry is not the last one and there are more entries, this time it will

New ea_inode feature allows putting large xattr values into external
inodes. struct ext4_xattr_entry and the attribute name however have to
remain in the inode extra space or external attribute block. Once that
space is exhausted, no further entries can be added. Some of that space
could also be used by values that fit in there at the time of addition.
So, a single xattr entry whose value barely fits in the external block
could prevent further entries being added.
To mitigate the problem, this patch introduces a notion of reserved
space in the external attribute block that cannot be used by value data.
This reserve is enforced when ea_inode feature is enabled. The amount
of reserve is arbitrarily chosen to be min(block_size/8, 1024). The
table below shows how much space is reserved for each block size and the
guaranteed mininum number of entries that can be placed in the external

Ext4 ea_inode feature allows storing xattr values in external inodes to
be able to store values that are bigger than a block in size. Ext4 also
has deduplication support for these type of inodes. With deduplication,
the actual storage waste is eliminated but the users of such inodes are
still charged full quota for the inodes as if there was no sharing
happening in the background.
This design requires ext4 to manually charge the users because the
inodes are shared.
An implication of this is that, if someone calls chown on a file that
has such references we need to transfer the quota for the file and xattr
inodes. Current dquot_transfer() function implicitly transfers one inode
charge. With ea_inode feature, we would like to transfer multiple inode
charges.
Add get_inode_usage callback which can interrogate the total number of
inodes that were charged for a given inode.

Ext4 now supports xattr values that are up to 64k in size (vfs limit).
Large xattr values are stored in external inodes each one holding a
single value. Once written the data blocks of these inodes are immutable.
The real world use cases are expected to have a lot of value duplication
such as inherited acls etc. To reduce data duplication on disk, this patch
implements a deduplicator that allows sharing of xattr inodes.
The deduplication is based on an in-memory hash lookup that is a best
effort sharing scheme. When a xattr inode is read from disk (i.e.
getxattr() call), its crc32c hash is added to a hash table. Before
creating a new xattr inode for a value being set, the hash table is
checked to see if an existing inode holds an identical value. If such an
inode is found, the ref count on that inode is incremented. On value
removal the ref count is decremented and if it reaches zero the inode is
deleted.
The quota charging for such inodes is manually managed. Every reference
holder is charged the full size as if there was no sharing happening.
This is consistent with how xattr blocks are also charged.
[ Fixed up journal credits calculation to handle inline data and the
rare case where an shared xattr block can get freed when two thread
race on breaking the xattr block sharing. --tytso ]

During inode deletion, the number of journal credits that will be
needed is hard to determine. For that reason we have journal
extend/restart calls in several places. Whenever a transaction is
restarted, filesystem must be in a consistent state because there is
no atomicity guarantee beyond a restart call.
Add ext4_xattr_ensure_credits() helper function which takes care of
journal extend/restart logic. It also handles getting jbd2 write
access and dirty metadata calls. This function is called at every
iteration of handling an ea_inode reference.

There will be a second mb_cache instance that tracks ea_inodes. Make
existing names more explicit so that it is clear that they refer to
xattr block cache.

Make names more generic so that mbcache usage is not limited to
block sharing. In a subsequent patch in the series
("ext4: xattr inode deduplication"), we start using the mbcache code
for sharing xattr inodes. With that patch, old mb_cache_entry.e_block
field could be holding either a block number or an inode number.

Tracking struct inode * rather than the inode number eliminates the
repeated ext4_xattr_inode_iget() call later. The second call cannot
fail in practice but still requires explanation when it wants to ignore
the return value. Avoid the trouble and make things simple.

Both ext4_set_acl() and ext4_set_context() need to be made aware of
ea_inode feature when it comes to credits calculation.
Also add a sufficient credits check in ext4_xattr_set_handle() right
after xattr write lock is grabbed. Original credits calculation is done
outside the lock so there is a possiblity that the initially calculated
credits are not sufficient anymore.

In a few places the function returns without trying to pass the actual
error code to the caller. Fix those.

When value size is <= EXT4_XATTR_MIN_LARGE_EA_SIZE(), and it
doesn't fit in either inline or xattr block, a second try is made to
store it in an external inode while storing the entry itself in inline
area. There should also be an attempt to store the entry in xattr block.
This patch adds a retry loop to do that. It also makes the caller the
sole decider on whether to store a value in an external inode.

When there is no space for a value in xattr block, it may be stored
in an xattr inode even if the value length is less than
EXT4_XATTR_MIN_LARGE_EA_SIZE(). So the current assumption in credits
calculation is wrong.

When a xattr entry refers to an external inode, the value data is not
available in the inline area so we should not attempt to read it using
value offset.

When moving xattr entries from inline area to a xattr block, entries
that refer to external xattr inodes need special handling because
value data is not available in the inline area but rather should be
read from its external inode.

ext4_xattr_make_inode_space() is interested in calculating the inline
space used in an inode. When a xattr entry refers to an external inode
the value size indicates the external inode size, not the value size in
the inline area. Change the function to take this into account.

ext4_xattr_value_same() is used as a quick optimization in case the new
xattr value is identical to the previous value. When xattr value is
stored in a xattr inode the check becomes expensive so it is better to
just assume that they are not equal.
