Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

By mistake we fail to return an error from ext4_fill_super() in case
that ext4_alloc_sbi() fails to allocate a new sbi. Instead we just set
the ret variable and allow the function to continue which will later
lead to a NULL pointer dereference. Fix it by returning -ENOMEM in the
case ext4_alloc_sbi() fails.

No functionality change as such in this patch. This only refactors the
common piece of code which waits for t_updates to finish into a common
function named as jbd2_journal_wait_updates(journal_t *)

Current code does not fully takes care of krealloc() error case, which
could lead to silent memory corruption or a kernel bug. This patch
fixes that.
Also it cleans up some duplicated error handling logic from various
functions in fast_commit.c file.

ext4_prepare_inline_data() already checks for ext4_get_max_inline_size()
and returns -ENOSPC. So there is no need to check it twice within
ext4_da_write_inline_data_begin(). This patch removes the extra check.
It also makes it more clean.
No functionality change in this patch.

While running "./check -I 200 generic/475" it sometimes gives below
kernel BUG(). Ideally we should not call ext4_write_inline_data() if
ext4_create_inline_data() has failed.
<log snip>
[73131.453234] kernel BUG at fs/ext4/inline.c:223!
<code snip>

224 BUG_ON(pos + len > EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_size);
This patch handles the error and prints out a emergency msg saying potential
data loss for the given inode (since we couldn't restore the original
inline_data due to some previous error).

in the follow scenario:
1. jbd start transaction n
2. task A get new handle for transaction n+1
3. task A do some actions and add inode to FC_Q_MAIN fc_q
4. jbd complete transaction n and clear FC_Q_MAIN fc_q
5. task A call fsync
Fast commit will lost the file actions during a full commit.
we should also add updates to staging queue during a full commit.
and in ext4_fc_cleanup(), when reset a inode's fc track range, check
it's i_sync_tid, if it bigger than current transaction tid, do not
rest it, or we will lost the track range.
And EXT4_MF_FC_COMMITTING is not needed anymore, so drop it.

For the follow scenario:
1. jbd start commit transaction n
2. task A get new handle for transaction n+1
3. task A do some ineligible actions and mark FC_INELIGIBLE
4. jbd complete transaction n and clean FC_INELIGIBLE
5. task A call fsync
In this case fast commit will not fallback to full commit and
transaction n+1 also not handled by jbd.
Make ext4_fc_mark_ineligible() also record transaction tid for
latest ineligible case, when call ext4_fc_cleanup() check
current transaction tid, if small than latest ineligible tid
do not clear the EXT4_MF_FC_INELIGIBLE.

For now in ext4_mb_new_blocks_simple, if we found a block which
should be excluded then will switch to next group, this may
probably cause 'group' run out of range.
Change to check next block in the same group when get a block should
be excluded. Also change the search range to EXT4_CLUSTERS_PER_GROUP
and add error checking.

During fast commit replay procedure, we clear inode blocks bitmap in
ext4_ext_clear_bb(), this may cause ext4_mb_new_blocks_simple() allocate
blocks still in use.
Make ext4_fc_record_regions() also record physical disk regions used by
inodes during replay procedure. Then ext4_mb_new_blocks_simple() can
excludes these blocks in use.

We probably want to remove the indirect block to extents migration
feature after a deprecation window, but until then, let's fix a
potential data loss problem caused by the fact that we put the
tmp_inode on the orphan list. In the unlikely case where we crash and
do a journal recovery, the data blocks belonging to the inode being
migrated are also represented in the tmp_inode on the orphan list ---
and so its data blocks will get marked unallocated, and available for
reuse.
Instead, stop putting the tmp_inode on the oprhan list. So in the
case where we crash while migrating the inode, we'll leak an inode,
which is not a disaster. It will be easily fixed the next time we run
fsck, and it's better than potentially having blocks getting claimed
by two different files, and losing data as a result.

This was obviously supposed to be an ext4 struct, not xfs. GCC
doesn't care either way so it doesn't affect the build or runtime.
