ext4: validate donor file superblock early in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT (2026-06-10 10:53:50 -0400)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Various ext4 updates for 7.2-rc1:
* A major rework of the fast commit mechanism to avoid lock
contention and deadlocks. We also export snapshot statistics
in /proc/fs/ext4/*/fc_info.
* Performance optimization for directory hash computation by
processing input in 4-byte chunks and removing function pointers,
along with new KUnit tests for directory hash.
* Cleanups in JBD2 to remove special slabs and use kmalloc() instead.
* Various bug fixes, including:
- Early validation of donor superblock in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT to avoid
cross-fs deadlock
- Fix for a kernel BUG in ext4_write_inline_data_end under
data=journal
- Fix for a NULL dereference in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata when
handle is aborted
- Fix for an underflow in JBD2 fast commit block initialization check
- Fix for LOGFLUSH shutdown ordering to ensure ordered data writeback
- Miscellaneous fixes for error path return values and KUnit assertions.
