CVE-2026-74358: ext4: fix fast commit wait/wake bit mapping on 64-bit

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ext4: fix fast commit wait/wake bit mapping on 64-bit

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.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-74358 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
