Eric Sandeen 0cfc9255a1 ext4: re-inline ext4_rec_len_(to|from)_disk functions
commit 3d0518f4, "ext4: New rec_len encoding for very
large blocksizes" made several changes to this path, but from
a perf perspective, un-inlining ext4_rec_len_from_disk() seems
most significant.  This function is called from ext4_check_dir_entry(),
which on a file-creation workload is called extremely often.

I tested this with bonnie:

# bonnie++ -u root -s 0 -f -x 200 -d /mnt/test -n 32

(this does 200 iterations) and got this for the file creations:

ext4 stock:   Average =  21206.8 files/s
ext4 inlined: Average =  22346.7 files/s  (+5%)

jiayingz@google.com (Jiaying Zhang) 5b3ff237be ext4: move aio completion after unwritten extent conversion
This patch is to be applied upon Christoph's "direct-io: move aio_complete
into ->end_io" patch. It adds iocb and result fields to struct ext4_io_end_t,
so that we can call aio_complete from  ext4_end_io_nolock() after the extent
conversion has finished.

I have verified with Christoph's aio-dio test that used to fail after a few
runs on an original kernel but now succeeds on the patched kernel.

See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/19659 for details.

Theodore Ts'o a0375156ca ext4: Clean up s_dirt handling
We don't need to set s_dirt in most of the ext4 code when journaling
is enabled.  In ext3/4 some of the summary statistics for # of free
inodes, blocks, and directories are calculated from the per-block
group statistics when the file system is mounted or unmounted.  As a
result the superblock doesn't have to be updated, either via the
journal or by setting s_dirt.  There are a few exceptions, most
notably when resizing the file system, where the superblock needs to
be modified --- and in that case it should be done as a journalled
operation if possible, and s_dirt set only in no-journal mode.

This patch will optimize out some unneeded disk writes when using ext4
with a journal.

Curt Wohlgemuth 8a57d9d61a ext4: check for a good block group before loading buddy pages
This adds a new field in ext4_group_info to cache the largest available
block range in a block group; and don't load the buddy pages until *after*
we've done a sanity check on the block group.

With large allocation requests (e.g., fallocate(), 8MiB) and relatively full
partitions, it's easy to have no block groups with a block extent large
enough to satisfy the input request length.  This currently causes the loop
during cr == 0 in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() to load the buddy bitmap pages
for EVERY block group.  That can be a lot of pages.  The patch below allows
us to call ext4_mb_good_group() BEFORE we load the buddy pages (although we
have check again after we lock the block group).

Allocate uninitialized extent before ext4 buffer write and
convert the extent to initialized after io completes.
The purpose is to make sure an extent can only be marked
initialized after it has been written with new data so
we can safely drop the i_mutex lock in ext4 DIO read without
exposing stale data. This helps to improve multi-thread DIO
read performance on high-speed disks.

Theodore Ts'o 9d0be50230 ext4: Calculate metadata requirements more accurately
In the past, ext4_calc_metadata_amount(), and its sub-functions
ext4_ext_calc_metadata_amount() and ext4_indirect_calc_metadata_amount()
badly over-estimated the number of metadata blocks that might be
required for delayed allocation blocks.  This didn't matter as much
when functions which managed the reserved metadata blocks were more
aggressive about dropping reserved metadata blocks as delayed
allocation blocks were written, but unfortunately they were too
aggressive.  This was fixed in commit 0637c6f, but as a result the
over-estimation by ext4_calc_metadata_amount() would lead to reserving
2-3 times the number of pending delayed allocation blocks as
potentially required metadata blocks.  So if there are 1 megabytes of
blocks which have been not yet been allocation, up to 3 megabytes of
space would get reserved out of the user's quota and from the file
system free space pool until all of the inode's data blocks have been
allocated.

This commit addresses this problem by much more accurately estimating
the number of metadata blocks that will be required.  It will still
somewhat over-estimate the number of blocks needed, since it must make
a worst case estimate not knowing which physical blocks will be
needed, but it is much more accurate than before.

Theodore Ts'o 1f2acb6017 ext4: Add block validity check when truncating indirect block mapped inodes
Add checks to ext4_free_branches() to make sure a block number found
in an indirect block are valid before trying to free it.  If a bad
block number is found, stop freeing the indirect block immediately,
since the file system is corrupt and we will need to run fsck anyway.
This also avoids spamming the logs, and specifically avoids
driver-level "attempt to access beyond end of device" errors obscure
what is really going on.

If you get *really*, *really*, *really* unlucky, without this patch, a
supposed indirect block containing garbage might contain a reference
to a primary block group descriptor, in which case
ext4_free_branches() could end up zero'ing out a block group
descriptor block, and if then one of the block bitmaps for a block
group described by that bg descriptor block is not in memory, and is
read in by ext4_read_block_bitmap().  This function calls
ext4_valid_block_bitmap(), which assumes that bg_inode_table() was
validated at mount time and hasn't been modified since.  Since this
assumption is no longer valid, it's possible for the value
(ext4_inode_table(sb, desc) - group_first_block) to go negative, which
will cause ext4_find_next_zero_bit() to trigger a kernel GPF.

Theodore Ts'o e6362609b6 ext4: call ext4_forget() from ext4_free_blocks()
Add the facility for ext4_forget() to be called from
ext4_free_blocks().  This simplifies the code in a large number of
places, and centralizes most of the work of calling ext4_forget() into
a single place.

Also fix a bug in the extents migration code; it wasn't calling
ext4_forget() when releasing the indirect blocks during the
conversion.  As a result, if the system cashed during or shortly after
the extents migration, and the released indirect blocks get reused as
data blocks, the journal replay would corrupt the data blocks.  With
this new patch, fixing this bug was as simple as adding the
EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET flags to the call to ext4_free_blocks().

Theodore Ts'o 4433871130 ext4: fold ext4_free_blocks() and ext4_mb_free_blocks()
ext4_mb_free_blocks() is only called by ext4_free_blocks(), and the
latter function doesn't really do much.  So merge the two functions
together, such that ext4_free_blocks() is now found in
fs/ext4/mballoc.c.  This saves about 200 bytes of compiled text space.

Theodore Ts'o d6797d14b1 ext4: move ext4_forget() to ext4_jbd2.c
The ext4_forget() function better belongs in ext4_jbd2.c.  This will
allow us to do some cleanup of the ext4_journal_revoke() and
ext4_journal_forget() functions, as well as giving us better error
reporting since we can report the caller of ext4_forget() when things
go wrong.

Eric Sandeen 5328e63531 ext4: make trim/discard optional (and off by default)
It is anticipated that when sb_issue_discard starts doing
real work on trim-capable devices, we may see issues.  Make
this mount-time optional, and default it to off until we know
that things are working out OK.

Mingming 5f5249507e ext4: skip conversion of uninit extents after direct IO if there isn't any
At the end of direct I/O operation, ext4_ext_direct_IO() always called
ext4_convert_unwritten_extents(), regardless of whether there were any
unwritten extents involved in the I/O or not.

This commit adds a state flag so that ext4_ext_direct_IO() only calls
ext4_convert_unwritten_extents() when necessary.

Linus Torvalds d4da6c9ccf Revert "ext4: Remove journal_checksum mount option and enable it by default"
This reverts commit d0646f7b63, as
requested by Eric Sandeen.

It can basically cause an ext4 filesystem to miss recovery (and thus get
mounted with errors) if the journal checksum does not match.

Quoth Eric:

   "My hand-wavy hunch about what is happening is that we're finding a
    bad checksum on the last partially-written transaction, which is
    not surprising, but if we have a wrapped log and we're doing the
    initial scan for head/tail, and we abort scanning on that bad
    checksum, then we are essentially running an unrecovered filesystem.

    But that's hand-wavy and I need to go look at the code.

    We lived without journal checksums on by default until now, and at
    this point they're doing more harm than good, so we should revert
    the default-changing commit until we can fix it and do some good
    power-fail testing with the fixes in place."
