[ Upstream commit 0be4c0c2f17bd10ae16c852f02d51a6a7b318aca ]
The use of path and ppath is now very confusing, so to make the code more
readable, pass path between functions uniformly, and get rid of ppath.
Getting rid of ppath in ext4_find_extent() requires its caller to update
ppath. These ppaths will also be dropped later. No functional changes.

To get rid of the ppath in ext4_ext_insert_extent(), the following is done
here:
* Free the extents path when an error is encountered.
* Its caller needs to update ppath if it uses ppath.
* Free path when npath is used, free npath when it is not used.
* The got_allocated_blocks label in ext4_ext_map_blocks() does not
update err now, so err is updated to 0 if the err returned by
ext4_ext_search_right() is greater than 0 and is about to enter
got_allocated_blocks.

[ Upstream commit 1de82b1b60d4613753254bf3cbf622a4c02c945c ]
The use of path and ppath is now very confusing, so to make the code more
readable, pass path between functions uniformly, and get rid of ppath.
To get rid of the ppath in ext4_split_extent_at(), the following is done
here:
* Free the extents path when an error is encountered.
* Its caller needs to update ppath if it uses ppath.
* Teach ext4_ext_show_leaf() to skip error pointer.
No functional changes.

[ Upstream commit 22784ca541c0f01c5ebad14e8228298dc0a390ed ]
When splitting an extent, if the EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CONVERT flag is set and
it is necessary to split the target extent in the middle,
ext4_split_extent() first handles splitting the latter half of the
extent and passes the EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID1 flag. This flag implies that
all blocks before the split point contain valid data; however, this
assumption is incorrect.
Therefore, subdivid EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID1 into
EXT4_EXT_DATA_ENTIRE_VALID1 and EXT4_EXT_DATA_PARTIAL_VALID1, which
indicate that the first half of the extent is either entirely valid or
only partially valid, respectively. These two flags cannot be set
simultaneously.
This patch does not use EXT4_EXT_DATA_PARTIAL_VALID1, it only replaces
EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID1 with EXT4_EXT_DATA_ENTIRE_VALID1 at the location
where it is set, no logical changes.

[ Upstream commit 1bf6974822d1dba86cf11b5f05498581cf3488a2 ]
When allocating initialized blocks from a large unwritten extent, or
when splitting an unwritten extent during end I/O and converting it to
initialized, there is currently a potential issue of stale data if the
extent needs to be split in the middle.
0 A B N
[UUUUUUUUUUUU] U: unwritten extent
[--DDDDDDDD--] D: valid data
|<- ->| ----> this range needs to be initialized
ext4_split_extent() first try to split this extent at B with
EXT4_EXT_DATA_ENTIRE_VALID1 and EXT4_EXT_MAY_ZEROOUT flag set, but
ext4_split_extent_at() failed to split this extent due to temporary lack
of space. It zeroout B to N and mark the entire extent from 0 to N
as written.
0 A B N
[WWWWWWWWWWWW] W: written extent
[SSDDDDDDDDZZ] Z: zeroed, S: stale data
ext4_split_extent() then try to split this extent at A with
EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID2 flag set. This time, it split successfully and left
a stale written extent from 0 to A.
0 A B N
[WW|WWWWWWWWWW]
[SS|DDDDDDDDZZ]
Fix this by pass EXT4_EXT_DATA_PARTIAL_VALID1 to ext4_split_extent_at()
when splitting at B, don't convert the entire extent to written and left
it as unwritten after zeroing out B to N. The remaining work is just
like the standard two-part split. ext4_split_extent() will pass the
EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID2 flag when it calls ext4_split_extent_at() for the
second time, allowing it to properly handle the split. If the split is
successful, it will keep extent from 0 to A as unwritten.
