Mingming Cao 08fb306fe6 [PATCH] ext3 filesystem bogus ENOSPC with reservation fix
To handle the earlier bogus ENOSPC error caused by filesystem full of block
reservation, current code falls back to non block reservation, starts to
allocate block(s) from the goal allocation block group as if there is no
block reservation.

Current code needs to re-load the corresponding block group descriptor for
the initial goal block group in this case.  The patch fixes this.

Mingming Cao 43d23f9039 [PATCH] ext3_fsblk_t: the rest of in-kernel filesystem blocks conversion
Convert the ext3 in-kernel filesystem blocks to ext3_fsblk_t.  Convert the
rest of all unsigned long type in-kernel filesystem blocks to ext3_fsblk_t,
and replace the printk format string respondingly.

Mingming Cao 1c2bf374a4 [PATCH] ext3_fsblk_t: filesystem, group blocks and bug fixes
Some of the in-kernel ext3 block variable type are treated as signed 4 bytes
int type, thus limited ext3 filesystem to 8TB (4kblock size based).  While
trying to fix them, it seems quite confusing in the ext3 code where some
blocks are filesystem-wide blocks, some are group relative offsets that need
to be signed value (as -1 has special meaning).  So it seem saner to define
two types of physical blocks: one is filesystem wide blocks, another is
group-relative blocks.  The following patches clarify these two types of
blocks in the ext3 code, and fix the type bugs which limit current 32 bit ext3
filesystem limit to 8TB.

With this series of patches and the percpu counter data type changes in the mm
tree, we are able to extend exts filesystem limit to 16TB.

This work is also a pre-request for the recent >32 bit ext3 work, and makes
the kernel to able to address 48 bit ext3 block a lot easier: Simply redefine
ext3_fsblk_t from unsigned long to sector_t and redefine the format string for
ext3 filesystem block corresponding.

Two RFC with a series patches have been posted to ext2-devel list and have
been reviewed and discussed:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114722190816690&w=2

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114784919525942&w=2

Patches are tested on both 32 bit machine and 64 bit machine, <8TB ext3 and
>8TB ext3 filesystem(with the latest to be released e2fsprogs-1.39).  Tests
includes overnight fsx, tiobench, dbench and fsstress.

This patch:

Defines ext3_fsblk_t and ext3_grpblk_t, and the printk format string for
filesystem wide blocks.

This patch classifies all block group relative blocks, and ext3_fsblk_t blocks
occurs in the same function where used to be confusing before.  Also include
kernel bug fixes for filesystem wide in-kernel block variables.  There are
some fileystem wide blocks are treated as int/unsigned int type in the kernel
currently, especially in ext3 block allocation and reservation code.  This
patch fixed those bugs by converting those variables to ext3_fsblk_t(unsigned
long) type.

Mingming Cao d48589bfad [PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: Adjust reservation window size for mblocks
Optimize the block reservation and the multiple block allocation: with the
knowledge of the total number of blocks ahead, set or adjust the reservation
window size properly (based on the number of blocks needed) before block
allocation happens: if there isn't any reservation yet, make sure the
reservation window equals to or greater than the number of blocks needed,
before create an reservation window; if a reservation window is already
exists, try to extends the window size to match the number of blocks to
allocate.  This could increase the possibility of completing multiple blocks
allocation in a single request, as blocks are only allocated in the range of
the inode's reservation window.

Change ext3_try_to_allocate() (called via ext3_new_blocks()) to try to
allocate the requested number of blocks on a best effort basis: After
allocated the first block, it will always attempt to allocate the next few(up
to the requested size and not beyond the reservation window) adjacent blocks
at the same time.

Glauber de Oliveira Costa b5a7c4f583 [PATCH] ext3: Properly report backup block present in a group
In filesystems with the meta block group flag on, ext3_bg_num_gdb() fails
to report the correct number of blocks used to store the group descriptor
backups in a given group.  It happens because meta_bg follows a different
logic from the original ext3 backup placement in groups multiples of 3, 5
and 7.

Glauber de Oliveira Costa 5b11687924 [PATCH] Locking problems while EXT3FS_DEBUG on
I noticed some problems while running ext3 with the debug flag set on.
More precisely, I was unable to umount the filesystem.  Some investigation
took me to the patch that follows.

At a first glance , the lock/unlock I've taken out seems really not
necessary, as the main code (outside debug) does not lock the super.  The
only additional danger operations that debug code introduces seems to be
related to bitmap, but bitmap operations tends to be all atomic anyway.

I also took the opportunity to fix 2 spelling errors.

Mingming Cao 21fe3471c3 [PATCH] ext3: reduce allocate-with-reservation lock latencies
Currently in ext3 block reservation code, the global filesystem reservation
tree lock (rsv_block) is hold during the process of searching for a space
to make a new reservation window, including while scaning the block bitmap
to verify if the avalible window has a free block.  Holding the lock during
bitmap scan is unnecessary and could possibly cause scalability issue and
latency issues.

This patch tries to address this by dropping the lock before scan the
bitmap.  Before that we need to reserve the open window in case someone
else is targetting at the same window.  Question was should we reserve the
whole free reservable space or just the window size we need.  Reserve the
whole free reservable space will possibly force other threads which
intended to do block allocation nearby move to another block group(cause
bad layout).  In this patch, we just reserve the desired size before drop
the lock and scan the block bitmap.  This patch fixed a ext3 reservation
latency issue seen on a cvs check out test.  Patch is tested with many fsx,
tiobench, dbench and untar a kernel test.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
