[PATCH 4.19 107/170] ext4: add ext4_sb_bread() to disambiguate ENOMEM cases

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jan 07 2019 - 08:19:24 EST


4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

commit fb265c9cb49e2074ddcdd4de99728aefdd3b3592 upstream.

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.

Fixes: ac27a0ec112a ("ext4: initial copy of files from ext3")
