Fast commit writes inode metadata and data range updates after unlocking
journal updates. New handles can start at that point, so the log writing
path must not look at live inode state.
Add a commit-time per-inode snapshot and populate it while journal updates
are locked and existing handles are drained. Store the snapshot behind
ext4_inode_info->i_fc_snap so ext4_inode_info only grows by one pointer.
The snapshot contains a copy of the on-disk inode plus the data range
records needed for fast commit TLVs.
Snapshotting runs under jbd2_journal_lock_updates(). Avoid triggering I/O
there by using ext4_get_inode_loc_noio() and falling back to full commit
if the inode table block is not present or not uptodate.
Log writing then only serializes the snapshot, so it no longer needs to
call ext4_map_blocks() and take i_data_sem under s_fc_lock. The snapshot
is installed and freed under s_fc_lock and is released from fast commit
cleanup and inode eviction.

jbd2_journal_initialize_fast_commit() validates journal capacity by
checking (journal->j_last - num_fc_blks < JBD2_MIN_JOURNAL_BLOCKS).
Both j_last and num_fc_blks are unsigned, so when num_fc_blks exceeds
j_last the subtraction wraps to a large value, bypassing the bounds
check.
The resulting underflow corrupts j_last, j_fc_first, and j_free,
leading to journal abort.
Fix by checking num_fc_blks against j_last before the subtraction,
returning -EFSCORRUPTED.

On 64-bit, ext4 dynamic inode states live in the upper half of i_flags,
and ext4_test_inode_state() applies the corresponding +32 offset.
The fast-commit wait and wake paths open-coded the wait key with the raw
EXT4_STATE_* value. Add small helpers for the state wait word and bit,
and use them for the FC_COMMITTING and FC_FLUSHING_DATA waits so the wait
key follows the same mapping as the state helpers.

jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() unconditionally dereferences
handle->h_transaction at function entry to obtain the journal pointer:
transaction_t *transaction = handle->h_transaction;
journal_t *journal = transaction->t_journal;
However, h_transaction may legitimately be NULL for an aborted handle.
The is_handle_aborted() helper in include/linux/jbd2.h explicitly
treats !h_transaction as one of the aborted states:
if (handle->h_aborted || !handle->h_transaction)
return 1;
Every other entry point in fs/jbd2/transaction.c
(jbd2_journal_get_{write,undo,create}_access, jbd2_journal_extend,
jbd2_journal_restart, jbd2_journal_stop, etc.) guards against this
with an is_handle_aborted() check before any dereference of
h_transaction. jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() was missing this guard.
This is reachable from ocfs2's xattr code. ocfs2_xa_set() intentionally
falls through to ocfs2_xa_journal_dirty() even after
ocfs2_xa_prepare_entry() fails, on the assumption that the buffer
needs to be journaled to record any partial modifications (see the
comment above the out_dirty label in fs/ocfs2/xattr.c). If the failure
was caused by the journal being aborted -- e.g. an underlying I/O
error during a sub-operation such as __ocfs2_remove_xattr_range() --
the handle's h_transaction has been cleared by the abort path, and
the unconditional deref in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() becomes a
NULL deref.
Reproduced by syzbot with a crafted ocfs2 image where I/O against the
loop device backing the mount is sabotaged via LOOP_SET_STATUS64
between two setxattr() calls, causing the second setxattr (which
truncates an external xattr value) to abort the journal mid-flight:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical
address 0xdffffc0000000000
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]

Fix by adding the standard is_handle_aborted() guard at the top of

Our binding handling for P2P-Device can run into the following
scenario, as observed by our testing:
- a station interface is connected on some channel
- the P2P-Device does a remain-on-channel (ROC) on that channel
- the ROC ends, and the P2P-Device is removed from the binding,
but the phy_ctxt pointer is left around as a PHY cache so we
don't need to recalibrate to the channel again and again in
case it's not shared
- a binding update by the station interface, even a removal,
will re-add the P2P-Device to the binding
- the P2P-Device is removed, which removes the PHY context, but
it's still in the binding so the firmware crashes
Since the P2P device is removed from the binding and only re-
added by unrelated code, but we want to keep the phy_ctxt around
as a cache for future ROC usage, fix it by adding a boolean that
indicates whether or not the P2P-Device should be added to the
binding, and handle that in the binding iterator. That way, the
station interface cannot re-add the P2P-Device to the binding
when that isn't active.

Currently, the dump code attempts to dump any number of
memories and register banks, as defined by the firmware.
Especially when the device is failing, this can lead to
excessive time spent attempting to acquire NIC access
over and over again.
Improve the code to only attempt to acquire NIC access
once or twice, but using the new memory dump functions
that may drop the spinlock etc. Mark all dump regions
that require NIC access, and skip them if we couldn't
obtain that.
In order to avoid CPU latency due to the increased time
holding the spinlock (and possibly disabling softirqs),
drop locks and call cond_resched() after each section
(if holding NIC access) but don't release HW NIC access.

With the intended removal of PREEMPT_NONE this_cpu operations based on
atomic instructions, guarded with preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pairs
become more expensive: the preempt_disable() / preempt_enable() pairs are
not optimized away anymore during compile time.
In particular the conditional call to preempt_schedule_notrace() after
preempt_enable() adds additional code and register pressure.
E.g. this simple C code sequence
DEFINE_PER_CPU(long, foo);
long bar(long a) { return this_cpu_add_return(foo, a); }
generates this code:
11a976: eb af f0 68 00 24 stmg %r10,%r15,104(%r15)

11a9c0: eb af f0 a0 00 04 lmg %r10,%r15,160(%r15)
11a9c6 07 fe br %r14
Even though the above example is more or less the worst case, since the
branch to preempt_schedule_notrace() requires a stackframe, which
otherwise wouldn't be necessary, there is also the conditional jnhe branch
instruction.
Get rid of the conditional branch with the following code sequence:
11a8e6: c0 30 00 d0 c5 0d larl %r3,1b33300
11a8ec: b9 04 00 43 lgr %r4,%r3

11a908: b9 08 00 25 agr %r2,%r5
11a90c 07 fe br %r14
The general idea is that this_cpu operations based on atomic instructions
are guarded with mviy instructions:
- The first mviy instruction writes the register number, which contains
the percpu address variable to lowcore. This also indicates that a
percpu code section is executed.
- The first instruction following the mviy instruction must be the ag
instruction which adds the percpu offset to the percpu address register.
- Afterwards the atomic percpu operation follows.
- Then a second mviy instruction writes a zero to lowcore, which indicates
the end of the percpu code section.
- In case of an interrupt/exception/nmi the register number which was
written to lowcore is copied to the exception frame (pt_regs), and a zero
is written to lowcore.
- On return to the previous context it is checked if a percpu code section
was executed (saved register number not zero), and if the process was
migrated to a different cpu. If the percpu offset was already added to
the percpu address register (instruction address does _not_ point to the
ag instruction) the content of the percpu address register is adjusted so
it points to percpu variable of the new cpu.

This buffer can be allocated with kmalloc() as there's nothing special
about it to go directly to the page allocator.
kmalloc() provides a better API that does not require ugly casts and
kfree() does not need to know the size of the freed object.
Performance difference between kmalloc() and __get_free_pages() is not
measurable as both allocators take an object/page from a per-CPU list for
fast path allocations.
For the slow path the performance is anyway determined by the amount of
reclaim involved rather than by what allocator is used.
Replace use of get_zeroed_page() with kzalloc() and free_page() with
kfree().
