Both ext3 and ext4 put the half-created symlink inode into the orphan list
for a while (see the comment in ext[34]_symlink() for gory details). Then,
if everything went fine, they pull it out of the orphan list and bump the
link count back to 1. The thing is, inc_nlink() is going to complain about
seeing somebody changing i_nlink from 0 to 1. With a good reason, since
normally something like that is a bug. Explicit set_nlink(inode, 1) does
the same thing as inc_nlink() here, but it does *not* complain - exactly
because it should be usable in strange situations like this one.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

If a directory with more than EXT4_LINK_MAX subdirectories, the nlink
count is set to 1. Subsequently, if any subdirectories are deleted,
ext4_dec_count() decrements the i_nlink count, which may go to 0
temporarily before being incremented back to 1.While this is done under i_mutex, which prevents races for directory
and inode operations that check i_nlink, the temporary i_nlink == 0
case is exposed to userspace via stat() and similar calls that do not
hold i_mutex.Instead, change the code to not decrement i_nlink count for any
directories that do not already have i_nlink larger than 2.Reported-by: Cliff White

ext4_dx_add_entry manipulates bh2 and frames[0].bh, which are two buffer_heads
that point to directory blocks assigned to the directory inode. However, the
function calls ext4_handle_dirty_metadata with the inode of the file that's
being added to the directory, not the directory inode itself. Therefore,
correct the code to dirty the directory buffers with the directory inode, not
the file inode.Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong

When ext4_rename performs a directory rename (move), dir_bh is a
buffer that is modified to update the '..' link in the directory being
moved (old_inode). However, ext4_handle_dirty_metadata is called with
the old parent directory inode (old_dir) and dir_bh, which is
incorrect because dir_bh does not belong to the parent inode. Fix
this error.Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong

Commit df5e6223407e ("ext4: fix deadlock in ext4_symlink() in ENOSPC
conditions") recalculated the number of credits needed for a long
symlink, in the process of splitting it into two transactions. However,
the first credit calculation under-counted because if selinux is
enabled, credits are needed to create the selinux xattr as well.Overrunning the reservation will result in an OOPS in
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() due to this assert:J_ASSERT_JH(jh, handle->h_buffer_credits > 0);
Fix this by increasing the reservation size.

The comment from Al Viro about possible race in the ext4_orphan_add() is
not justified. There is no race possible as we always have either i_mutex
locked, or the inode can not be referenced from outside hence the
J_ASSERS should not be hit from the reason described in comment.This commit replaces it with notion that we are holding i_mutex so it
should not be possible for i_nlink to be changed while waiting for
s_orphan_lock.Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner

ext4_symlink() cannot call __page_symlink() with transaction open.
__page_symlink() calls ext4_write_begin() which can wait for
transaction commit if we are running out of space thus causing a
deadlock. Also error recovery in ext4_truncate_failed_write() does not
count with the transaction being already started (although I'm not
aware of any particular deadlock here).Fix the problem by stopping a transaction before calling
__page_symlink() (we have to be careful and put inode to orphan list
so that it gets deleted in case of crash) and starting another one
after __page_symlink() returns for addition of symlink into a
directory.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

When make_indexed_dir() fails (e.g. because of ENOSPC) after it has
allocated block for index tree root, we did not properly mark all
changed buffers dirty. This lead to only some of these buffers being

failure case.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

If the first block of htree directory is missing '.' or '..' but is
otherwise a valid directory, and we do a lookup for '.' or '..', it's
possible to dereference an uninitialized memory pointer in
ext4_htree_next_block().We avoid this by moving the special case from ext4_dx_find_entry() to
ext4_find_entry(); this also means we can optimize ext4_find_entry()
slightly when NFS looks up "..".Thanks to Brad Spengler for pointing a Clang warning that led me to
look more closely at this code. The warning was harmless, but it was
useful in pointing out code that was too ugly to live. This warning was

commit 3d0518f4, "ext4: New rec_len encoding for very

a perf perspective, un-inlining ext4_rec_len_from_disk() seems
most significant. This function is called from ext4_check_dir_entry(),
which on a file-creation workload is called extremely often.I tested this with bonnie:
# bonnie++ -u root -s 0 -f -x 200 -d /mnt/test -n 32
(this does 200 iterations) and got this for the file creations:
