This patch adds new routines: "ext4_punch_hole" "ext4_ext_punch_hole"
and "ext4_ext_check_cache"
fallocate has been modified to call ext4_punch_hole when the punch hole
flag is passed. At the moment, we only support punching holes in
extents, so this routine is pretty much a wrapper for the ext4_ext_punch_hole
routine.
The ext4_ext_punch_hole routine first completes all outstanding writes
with the associated pages, and then releases them. The unblock
aligned data is zeroed, and all blocks in between are punched out.
The ext4_ext_check_cache routine is very similar to ext4_ext_in_cache
except it accepts a ext4_ext_cache parameter instead of a ext4_extent
parameter. This routine is used by ext4_ext_punch_hole to check and
see if a block in a hole that has been cached. The ext4_ext_cache
parameter is necessary because the members ext4_extent structure are
not large enough to hold a 32 bit value. The existing
ext4_ext_in_cache routine has become a wrapper to this new function.

This patch adds a new flag to ext4_map_blocks() that specifies the
given range of blocks should be punched out. Extents are first
converted to uninitialized extents before they are punched
out. Because punching a hole may require that the extent be split, it
is possible that the splitting may need more blocks than are
available. To deal with this, use of reserved blocks are enabled to
allow the split to proceed.
The routine then returns the number of blocks successfully
punched out.

This patch modifies the truncate routines to support hole punching
Below is a brief summary of the patches changes:
- Added end param to ext_ext4_rm_leaf
This function has been modified to accept an end parameter
which enables it to punch holes in leafs instead of just
truncating them.
- Implemented the "remove head" case in the ext_remove_blocks routine
This routine is used by ext_ext4_rm_leaf to remove the tail
of an extent during a truncate. The new ext_ext4_rm_leaf
routine will now also use it to remove the head of an extent in the
case that the hole covers a region of blocks at the beginning
of an extent.
- Added "end" param to ext4_ext_remove_space routine
This function has been modified to accept a stop parameter, which
is passed through to ext4_ext_rm_leaf.

jbd2_log_start_commit() returns 1 only when we really start a
transaction. But we also need to wait for a transaction when the
commit is already running. Fix this problem by waiting for
transaction commit unconditionally (which is just a quick check if the
transaction is already committed).
Also we have to be more careful with sending of a barrier because when
transaction is being committed in parallel to ext4_sync_file()
running, we cannot be sure that the barrier the journalling code sends
happens after we wrote all the data for fsync (note that not every
data writeout needs to trigger metadata changes thus commit of some
metadata changes can be running while other data is still written
out). So use jbd2_will_send_data_barrier() helper to detect the common
cases when we can be sure barrier will be issued by the commit code
and issue the barrier ourselves in the remaining cases.

To get delayed-extent information, ext4_ext_fiemap_cb() looks up
pagecache, it thus collects information starting from a page's

If blocksize < pagesize, the beginning blocks of a page may lies
before the request range. So ext4_ext_fiemap_cb() should proceed
ignoring them, because they has been handled before. If no mapped
buffer in the range is found in the 1st page, we need to look up
the 2nd page, otherwise delayed-extents after a hole will be ignored.

In commit c8d46e41 (ext4: Add flag to files with blocks intentionally
past EOF), if the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag is set, we call ext4_truncate()
before calling vmtruncate(). This caused any allocated but unwritten
blocks created by calling fallocate() with the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE
flag to be dropped. This was done to make to make sure that
EOFBLOCKS_FL would not be cleared while still leaving blocks past
i_size allocated. This was not necessary, since ext4_truncate()
guarantees that blocks past i_size will be dropped, even in the case
where truncate() has increased i_size before calling ext4_truncate().
So fix this by removing the EOFBLOCKS_FL special case treatment in
ext4_setattr(). In addition, use truncate_setsize() followed by a
call to ext4_truncate() instead of using vmtruncate(). This is more
efficient since it skips the call to inode_newsize_ok(), which has
been checked already by inode_change_ok(). This is also in a win in
the case where EOFBLOCKS_FL is set since it avoids calling
ext4_truncate() twice.

In order to make lazyinit eat approx. 10% of io bandwidth at max, we

we are using timer which wakes up thread when it expires. It is set
via add_timer() and this may cause troubles in the case that thread
has been woken up earlier and in next iteration we call add_timer() on
still running timer hence hitting BUG_ON in add_timer(). We could fix
that by using mod_timer() instead however we can use
schedule_timeout_interruptible() for waiting and hence simplifying
things a lot.
This commit exchange the old "waiting mechanism" with simple
schedule_timeout_interruptible(), setting the time to sleep. Hence we
do not longer need li_wait_daemon waiting queue and others, so get rid

if we have only written a single block -- we might end up
setting the page's PageUptodate flag, indicating that page

This could cause subsequent reads to get bad data.

handling in ext4_end_bio(), and remove some extraneous code:
- fixes ext4_end_bio() to set AS_EIO in the

return an error if there was an I/O error.
- remove the clear_buffer_dirty() call on unmapped

- consolidate page/buffer error handling in a single

We can create 4402345721856 byte file with indirect block mapping.
However, if we grow an indirect-block file to the size with ftruncate(),
we can see an ext4 warning. The following patch fixes this problem.
How to reproduce:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/hoge bs=1 count=0 seek=4402345721856
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.000221428 s, 0.0 kB/s

ext4 has taken the stance that, in the absence of a journal,
when an fsync/fdatasync of an inode is done, the parent
directory should be sync'ed if this inode entry is new.
ext4_sync_parent(), which implements this, does indeed sync
the dirent pages for parent directories, but it does not
sync the directory *inode*. This patch fixes this.
Also now return error status from ext4_sync_parent().
I tested this using a power fail test, which panics a
machine running a file server getting requests from a
client. Without this patch, on about every other test run,
the server is missing many, many files that had been synced.
With this patch, on > 6 runs, I see zero files being lost.

During mount, when we fail to open journal inode or root inode, the
__save_error_info will mod_timer. But actually s_err_report isn't
initialized yet and the kernel oops. The detailed information can
be found https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32082.
The best way is to check whether the timer s_err_report is initialized
or not. But it seems that in include/linux/timer.h, we can't find a
good function to check the status of this timer, so this patch just
move the initializtion of s_err_report earlier so that we can avoid
the kernel panic. The corresponding del_timer is also added in the
error path.

In ext4_register_li_request, we malloc a ext4_li_request and
inserts it into ext4_li_info->li_request_list. In case of any
error later, we free it in the end. But if we have some error
in ext4_run_lazyinit_thread, the whole li_request_list will be
dropped and freed in it. So we will double free this ext4_li_request.
This patch just sets elr to NULL after it is inserted to the list
so that the latter kfree won't double free it.

It is not necessary to update [cm]time of quota file on each quota
file write and it wastes journal space and IO throughput with inode
writes. So just remove the updating from ext4_quota_write() and only
update times when quotas are being turned off. Userspace cannot get
anything reliable from quota files while they are used by the kernel
anyway.

When allocating a new inode, we need to make sure i_sync_tid and
i_datasync_tid are initialized. Otherwise, one or both of these two
values could be left initialized to zero, which could potentially
result in BUG_ON in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction.
(This could happen by having journal->commit_request getting set to
zero, which could wake up the kjournald process even though there is
no running transaction, which then causes a BUG_ON via the
J_ASSERT(j_ruinning_transaction != NULL) statement.

If no extent conversion is required, wake up any processes waiting for
the page's writeback to be complete and free the ext4_io_end structure
directly in ext4_end_bio() instead of dropping it on the linked list
(which requires taking a spinlock to queue and dequeue the io_end
structure), and waiting for the workqueue to do this work.
This removes an extra scheduling delay before process waiting for an
fsync() to complete gets woken up, and it also reduces the CPU
overhead for a random write workload.

In ext4_bio_write_page(), if the memory allocation for the struct
ext4_io_page fails, it returns with the page's PageWriteback flag set.
This will end up causing the page not to skip writeback in
WB_SYNC_NONE mode, and in WB_SYNC_ALL mode (i.e., on a sync, fsync, or
umount) the writeback daemon will get stuck forever on the
wait_on_page_writeback() function in write_cache_pages_da().
Or, if journalling is enabled and the file gets deleted, it the
journal thread can get stuck in journal_finish_inode_data_buffers()
call to filemap_fdatawait().
Another place where things can get hung up is in
truncate_inode_pages(), called out of ext4_evict_inode().
Fix this by not setting PageWriteback until after we have successfully
allocated the struct ext4_io_page.

If we have accumulated a contiguous region of memory to be written
out, and the next page can added to this region, don't bother locking
(and then unlocking the page) before writing out the memory. In the
unlikely event that the next page was being written back by some other
CPU, we can also skip waiting that page to finish writeback.

Because the ext4 page writeback codepath had been prematurely calling
clear_page_dirty_for_io(), if it turned out that a particular page
couldn't be written out during a particular pass of
write_cache_pages_da(), the page would have to get redirtied by
calling redirty_pages_for_writeback(). Not only was this wasted work,
but redirty_page_for_writeback() would increment wbc->pages_skipped to
signal to writeback_sb_inodes() that buffers were locked, and that it
should skip this inode until later.
Since this signal was incorrect in ext4's case --- which was caused by
ext4's historically incorrect use of write_cache_pages() ---
ext4_da_writepages() saved and restored wbc->skipped_pages to avoid
confusing writeback_sb_inodes().
Now that we've fixed ext4 to call clear_page_dirty_for_io() right
before initiating the page I/O, we can nuke the page_skipped
save/restore hackery, and breathe a sigh of relief.

If ext4_da_block_invalidatepages() is called because of a
failure from ext4_map_blocks() in mpage_da_map_and_submit(),
it's supposed to clean up -- including unlock -- all the
pages in the mpd structure. But these values may not match
up, even on a system in which block size == page size:
mpd->b_blocknr != mpd->first_page
mpd->b_size != (mpd->next_page - mpd->first_page)
ext4_da_block_invalidatepages() has been using b_blocknr and
b_size; this patch changes it to use first_page and
next_page.
Tested: I injected a small number (5%) of failures in
ext4_map_blocks() in the case that the flags contain
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE, and ran fsstress on this
kernel. Without this patch, I got hung tasks every time.
With this patch, I see no hangs in many runs of fsstress.

In mpage_da_map_and_submit(), if we have a delayed block
allocation failure from ext4_map_blocks(), we need to mark
the IO as complete, by setting
mpd->io_done = 1;
Otherwise, we could end up submitting the pages in an outer
loop; since they are unlocked on mapping failure in
ext4_da_block_invalidatepages(), this will cause a bug check
in mpage_da_submit_io().
I tested this by injected failures into ext4_map_blocks().
Without this patch, a simple fsstress run will bug check;
with the patch, it works fine.

This doesn't actually gain us anything, so change things so that the

There's no good reason to require the extra step of providing
a mount option for acl or user_xattr once the feature is configured
on; no other filesystem that I know of requires this.
Userspace patches have set these options in default mount options,
and this patch makes them default in the kernel. At some point
we can start to deprecate the options, perhaps.
For now I've removed default mount option checks in show_options()
to be explicit about what's set, since it's changing the default,
but I'm open to alternatives if desired.

If there are no suitable free extents to be trimmed, then FITRIM will
return success even though the device does not support discard, which
could confuse the user. So check explicitly if the device supports

ext4 has a data corruption case when doing non-block-aligned
asynchronous direct IO into a sparse file, as demonstrated
by xfstest 240.
The root cause is that while ext4 preallocates space in the
hole, mappings of that space still look "new" and
dio_zero_block() will zero out the unwritten portions. When
more than one AIO thread is going, they both find this "new"
block and race to zero out their portion; this is uncoordinated
and causes data corruption.
Dave Chinner fixed this for xfs by simply serializing all
unaligned asynchronous direct IO. I've done the same here.
The difference is that we only wait on conversions, not all IO.
This is a very big hammer, and I'm not very pleased with
stuffing this into ext4_file_write(). But since ext4 is
DIO_LOCKING, we need to serialize it at this high level.
I tried to move this into ext4_ext_direct_IO, but by then
we have the i_mutex already, and we will wait on the
work queue to do conversions - which must also take the
i_mutex. So that won't work.
This was originally exposed by qemu-kvm installing to
a raw disk image with a normal sector-63 alignment. I've
tested a backport of this patch with qemu, and it does
avoid the corruption. It is also quite a lot slower
(14 min for package installs, vs. 8 min for well-aligned)
but I'll take slow correctness over fast corruption any day.
Mingming suggested that we can track outstanding
conversions, and wait on those so that non-sparse
files won't be affected, and I've implemented that here;
unaligned AIO to nonsparse files won't take a perf hit.

In 2.6.37 I was running into oopses with repeated module
loads & unloads. I tracked this down to:
fb1813f4 ext4: use dedicated slab caches for group_info structures
(this was in addition to the features advert unload problem)
The kstrdup & subsequent kfree of the cache name was causing
a double free. In slub, at least, if I read it right it allocates
& frees the name itself, slab seems to do something different...
so in slub I think we were leaking -our- cachep->name, and double
freeing the one allocated by slub.
After getting lost in slab/slub/slob a bit, I just looked at other
sized-caches that get allocated. jbd2, biovec, sgpool all do it
more or less the way jbd2 does. Below patch follows the jbd2
method of dynamically allocating a cache at mount time from
a list of static names.
(This might also possibly fix a race creating the caches with
parallel mounts running).

This fixes a corruption problem with the multi-block
writepages submittal change for ext4, from commit
bd2d0210cf ("ext4: use bio
layer instead of buffer layer in mpage_da_submit_io").
(Note that this corruption is not present in 2.6.37 on
ext4, because the corruption was detected after the
feature was merged in 2.6.37-rc1, and so it was turned
off by adding a non-default mount option,
mblk_io_submit. With this commit, which hopefully
fixes the last of the bugs with this feature, we'll be
able to turn on this performance feature by default in
2.6.38, and remove the mblk_io_submit option.)
The ext4 code path to bundle multiple pages for
writeback in ext4_bio_write_page() had a bug: we should
be clearing buffer head dirty flags *before* we submit
the bio, not in the completion routine.
The patch below was tested on 2.6.37 under KVM with the
postgresql script which was submitted by Jon Nelson as
documented in commit 1449032be1.
Without the patch, I'd hit the corruption problem about
50-70% of the time. With the patch, I executed the
script > 100 times with no corruption seen.
I also fixed a bug to make sure ext4_end_bio() doesn't
dereference the bio after the bio_put() call.

SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created
inodes. We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating
process. This new behavior would also take into account the name of the
new object when deciding the new label. This is not the (supposed) full path,
just the last component of the path.
This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating
/etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these
operations. We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some
difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops
to get things set up correctly. This patch does not implement new
behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it
does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook. If no such name

Currently all filesystems except XFS implement fallocate asynchronously,
while XFS forced a commit. Both of these are suboptimal - in case of O_SYNC
I/O we really want our allocation on disk, especially for the !KEEP_SIZE
case where we actually grow the file with user-visible zeroes. On the
other hand always commiting the transaction is a bad idea for fast-path
uses of fallocate like for example in recent Samba versions. Given
that block allocation is a data plane operation anyway change it from
an inode operation to a file operation so that we have the file structure
available that lets us check for O_SYNC.
This also includes moving the code around for a few of the filesystems,
and remove the already unnedded S_ISDIR checks given that we only wire
up fallocate for regular files.

As Al Viro pointed out path resolution during Q_QUOTAON calls to quotactl
is prone to deadlocks. We hold s_umount semaphore for reading during the
path resolution and resolution itself may need to acquire the semaphore
for writing when e. g. autofs mountpoint is passed.
Solve the problem by performing the resolution before we get hold of the
superblock (and thus s_umount semaphore). The whole thing is complicated
by the fact that some filesystems (OCFS2) ignore the path argument. So to
distinguish between filesystem which want the path and which do not we
introduce new .quota_on_meta callback which does not get the path. OCFS2
then uses this callback instead of old .quota_on.

This function was never implemented, except for a BUG_ON which was
tripping when ext4 is run without a journal. The problem is that
although the comment asserts that "truncate (which is the only way to
free block) discards all preallocations", ext4_free_blocks() is also
called in various error recovery paths when blocks have been
allocated, but for various reasons, we were not able to use those data
blocks (for example, because we ran out of memory while trying to
manipulate the extent tree, or some other similar situation).
In addition to the fact that this function isn't implemented except
for the incorrect BUG_ON, the single caller of this function,
ext4_free_blocks(), doesn't use it all if the journal is enabled.
So remove the (stub) function entirely for now. If we decide it's
better to add it back, it's only going to be useful with a relatively
large number of code changes anyway.

Ted first found the bug when running 2.6.36 kernel with dioread_nolock
mount option that xfstests #13 complained about wrong file size during fsck.
However, the bug exists in the older kernels as well although it is
somehow harder to trigger.
The problem is that ext4_end_io_work() can happen after we have truncated an
inode to a smaller size. Then when ext4_end_io_work() calls
ext4_convert_unwritten_extents(), we may reallocate some blocks that have
been truncated, so the inode size becomes inconsistent with the allocated
blocks.
The following patch flushes the i_completed_io_list during truncate to reduce
the risk that some pending end_io requests are executed later and convert
already truncated blocks to initialized.
Note that although the fix helps reduce the problem a lot there may still
be a race window between vmtruncate() and ext4_end_io_work(). The fundamental
problem is that if vmtruncate() is called without either i_mutex or i_alloc_sem
held, it can race with an ongoing write request so that the io_end request is
processed later when the corresponding blocks have been truncated.
Ted and I have discussed the problem offline and we saw a few ways to fix
the race completely:
a) We guarantee that i_mutex lock and i_alloc_sem write lock are both hold
whenever vmtruncate() is called. The i_mutex lock prevents any new write
requests from entering writeback and the i_alloc_sem prevents the race
from ext4_page_mkwrite(). Currently we hold both locks if vmtruncate()
is called from do_truncate(), which is probably the most common case.
However, there are places where we may call vmtruncate() without holding
either i_mutex or i_alloc_sem. I would like to ask for other people's
opinions on what locks are expected to be held before calling vmtruncate().
There seems a disagreement among the callers of that function.
b) We change the ext4 write path so that we change the extent tree to contain
the newly allocated blocks and update i_size both at the same time --- when
the write of the data blocks is completed.
c) We add some additional locking to synchronize vmtruncate() and
ext4_end_io_work(). This approach may have performance implications so we
need to be careful.
All of the above proposals may require more substantial changes, so
we may consider to take the following patch as a bandaid.

This fixes a number of places where we used sector_t instead of
ext4_lblk_t for logical blocks, which for ext4 are still 32-bit data
types. No point wasting space in the ext4_inode_info structure, and
requiring 64-bit arithmetic on 32-bit systems, when it isn't
necessary.

Remove the short element i_delalloc_reserved_flag from the
ext4_inode_info structure and replace it a new bit in i_state_flags.
Since we have an ext4_inode_info for every ext4 inode cached in the
inode cache, any savings we can produce here is a very good thing from
a memory utilization perspective.

ext4_ext_find_goal() returns an ideal physical block number that the block
allocator tries to allocate first. However, if a required file offset is
smaller than the existing extent's one, ext4_ext_find_goal() returns
a wrong block number because it may overflow at
"block - le32_to_cpu(ex->ee_block)". This patch fixes the problem.
ext4_ext_find_goal() will also return a wrong block number in case
a file offset of the existing extent is too big. In this case,
the ideal physical block number is fixed in ext4_mb_initialize_context(),
so it's no problem.

ext4_issue_discard is supposed to be helper for calling discard, however
in case that underlying device does not support discard it prints out
the warning message and clears the DISCARD t_mount_opt flag. Since it
can be (and is) used by others, it should not do anything and let the
caller to handle the error case.
This commit removes warning message and flag setting from
ext4_issue_discard and use it just in place where it is really needed
(release_blocks_on_commit). FITRIM ioctl should not set any flags nor it
should print out warning messages, so get rid of the warning as well.

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
page lock to follow page->mapping.
The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

Jon Nelson has found a test case which causes postgresql to fail with
the error:
psql:t.sql:4: ERROR: invalid page header in block 38269 of relation base/16384/16581
Under memory pressure, it looks like part of a file can end up getting
replaced by zero's. Until we can figure out the cause, we'll roll
back the change and use block_write_full_page() instead of
ext4_bio_write_page(). The new, more efficient writing function can
be used via the mount option mblk_io_submit, so we can test and fix
the new page I/O code.
To reproduce the problem, install postgres 8.4 or 9.0, and pin enough
memory such that the system just at the end of triggering writeback
before running the following sql script:
begin;
create temporary table foo as select x as a, ARRAY[x] as b FROM
generate_series(1, 10000000 ) AS x;
create index foo_a_idx on foo (a);
create index foo_b_idx on foo USING GIN (b);
rollback;
If the temporary table is created on a hard drive partition which is
encrypted using dm_crypt, then under memory pressure, approximately
30-40% of the time, pgsql will issue the above failure.
This patch should fix this problem, and the problem will come back if
the file system is mounted with the mblk_io_submit mount option.

Filesystem independent ioctl was rejected as not common enough to be in
core vfs ioctl. Since we still need to access to this functionality this
commit adds ext4 specific ioctl EXT4_IOC_TRIM to dispatch
ext4_trim_fs().
It takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in
the include/linux/fs.h and its definition is as follows.
struct fstrim_range {
__u64 start;
__u64 len;
__u64 minlen;
}
start - first Byte to trim
len - number of Bytes to trim from start
minlen - minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this
number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs
block size.
After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored
in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage
space has been really released for wear-leveling.

At the start of ext4_fill_super, ret is set to -EINVAL, and any failure path
out of that function returns ret. However, the generic_check_addressable
clause sets ret = 0 (if it passes), which means that a subsequent failure (e.g.
a group checksum error) returns 0 even though the mount should fail. This
causes vfs_kern_mount in turn to think that the mount succeeded, leading to an
oops.
A simple fix is to avoid using ret for the generic_check_addressable check,
which was last changed in commit 30ca22c70e.

After recent blkdev_get() modifications, open_by_devnum() and
open_bdev_exclusive() are simple wrappers around blkdev_get().
Replace them with blkdev_get_by_dev() and blkdev_get_by_path().
blkdev_get_by_dev() is identical to open_by_devnum().
blkdev_get_by_path() is slightly different in that it doesn't
automatically add %FMODE_EXCL to @mode.
All users are converted. Most conversions are mechanical and don't
introduce any behavior difference. There are several exceptions.
* btrfs now sets FMODE_EXCL in btrfs_device->mode, so there's no
reason to OR it explicitly on blkdev_put().
* gfs2, nilfs2 and the generic mount_bdev() now set FMODE_EXCL in
sb->s_mode.
* With the above changes, sb->s_mode now always should contain
FMODE_EXCL. WARN_ON_ONCE() added to kill_block_super() to detect
errors.
The new blkdev_get_*() functions are with proper docbook comments.
While at it, add function description to blkdev_get() too.

Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev
open, close, claim and release.
* blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions.
* bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open.
* open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and
the other way around, respectively.
* bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave
symlinks.
* open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get().
The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim
makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as
in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive
open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another
exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that,
* blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management.
@holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will
gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses.
* blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and
if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when
the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are
removed automatically.
* bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer
necessary and either made static or removed.
* bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder()
is no longer necessary and removed.
* open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev()
and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only()
test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get().
* open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to
blkdev_get().
Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put()
and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as
it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and
invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases.
open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup -
rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop
special features. Well, let's leave them for another day.
Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more
involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the
same.

The following BUG can occur when an inode which is getting freed when
it still has dirty pages outstanding, and it gets deleted (in this
because it was the target of a rename). In ordered mode, we need to
make sure the data pages are written just in case we crash before the
rename (or unlink) is committed. If the inode is being freed then
when we try to igrab the inode, we end up tripping the BUG_ON at
fs/ext4/page-io.c:146.
To solve this problem, we need to keep track of the number of io
callbacks which are pending, and avoid destroying the inode until they
have all been completed. That way we don't have to bump the inode
count to keep the inode from being destroyed; an approach which
doesn't work because the count could have already been dropped down to
zero before the inode writeback has started (at which point we're not
allowed to bump the count back up to 1, since it's already started
getting freed).
Thanks to Dave Chinner for suggesting this approach, which is also
used by XFS.

Commit 84061e0 fixed an accounting bug only to introduce the
possibility of a kernel OOPS if the journal has a non-zero j_errno
field indicating that the file system had detected a fs inconsistency.
After the journal replay, if the journal superblock indicates that the
file system has an error, this indication is transfered to the file
system and then ext4_commit_super() is called to write this to the
disk.
But since the percpu counters are now initialized after the journal
replay, the call to ext4_commit_super() will cause a kernel oops since
it needs to use the percpu counters the ext4 superblock structure.
The fix is to skip setting the ext4 free block and free inode fields
if the percpu counter has not been set.

this bug.

As pointed out in a prior patch, updating the mapping's
writeback_index based on pages written isn't quite right;
what the writeback index is really supposed to reflect is
the next page which should be scanned for writeback during
periodic flush.
As in write_cache_pages(), write_cache_pages_da() does
this scanning for us as we assemble the mpd for later
writeout. If we keep track of the next page after the
current scan, we can easily update writeback_index without
worrying about pages written vs. pages skipped, etc.
Without this, an fsync will reset writeback_index to
0 (its starting index) + however many pages it wrote, which
can mess up the progress of periodic flush.

This is analogous to Jan Kara's commit,
f446daaea9
mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging
but since we forked write_cache_pages, we need to reimplement
it there (and in ext4_da_writepages, since range_cyclic handling
was moved to there)
If you start a large buffered IO to a file, and then set
fsync after it, you'll find that fsync does not complete
until the other IO stops.
If you continue re-dirtying the file (say, putting dd
with conv=notrunc in a loop), when fsync finally completes
(after all IO is done), it reports via tracing that
it has written many more pages than the file contains;
in other words it has synced and re-synced pages in
the file multiple times.
This then leads to problems with our writeback_index
update, since it advances it by pages written, and
essentially sets writeback_index off the end of the
file...
With the following patch, we only sync as much as was
dirty at the time of the sync.

Walk through allocation groups and trim all free extents. It can be

may suffer from performance loss after the whole device was filled (it

It search for free extents in allocation groups specified by Byte range
start -> start+len. When the free extent is within this range, blocks
are marked as used and then trimmed. Afterwards these blocks are marked
as free in per-group bitmap.
Since fstrim is a long operation it is good to have an ability to

+-------------+
======================================================================
The reason why this hangup happens is described as follows:
1) We write the last extent block of the file whose size is the filesystem
maximum size.
2) "BH_Delay" flag is set on the buffer_head of its block.
3) - the member, "m_lblk" of struct mpage_da_data is 4294967295 (UINT_MAX)
- the member, "m_len" of struct mpage_da_data is 1
mpage_put_bnr_to_bhs() which is called via ext4_da_writepages()
cannot clear "BH_Delay" flag of the buffer_head because the type of
m_lblk is ext4_lblk_t and then m_lblk + m_len is overflow.
Therefore an infinite loop occurs because ext4_da_writepages()
cannot write the page (which corresponds to the block) since
"BH_Delay" flag isn't cleared.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The llseek system call should return EINVAL if passed a seek offset
which results in a write error. What this maximum offset should be
depends on whether or not the huge_file file system feature is set,
and whether or not the file is extent based or not.
If the file has no "EXT4_EXTENTS_FL" flag, the maximum size which can be
written (write systemcall) is different from the maximum size which can be
sought (lseek systemcall).
For example, the following 2 cases demonstrates the differences
between the maximum size which can be written, versus the seek offset
allowed by the llseek system call:
#1: mkfs.ext3 <dev>; mount -t ext4 <dev>
#2: mkfs.ext3 <dev>; tune2fs -Oextent,huge_file <dev>; mount -t ext4 <dev>

The differences exist because ext4 has 2 maxbytes which are sb->s_maxbytes
(= extent-mapped maxbytes) and EXT4_SB(sb)->s_bitmap_maxbytes (= block-mapped
maxbytes). Although generic_file_llseek uses only extent-mapped maxbytes.
(llseek of ext4_file_operations is generic_file_llseek which uses
sb->s_maxbytes.)
Therefore we create ext4 llseek function which uses 2 maxbytes.
The new own function originates from generic_file_llseek().
If the file flag, "EXT4_EXTENTS_FL" is not set, the function alters
inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes into EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb)->s_bitmap_maxbytes.

Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
When the lazy_itable_init extended option is passed to mke2fs, it
considerably speeds up filesystem creation because inode tables are
not zeroed out. The fact that parts of the inode table are
uninitialized is not a problem so long as the block group descriptors,
which contain information regarding how much of the inode table has
been initialized, has not been corrupted However, if the block group
checksums are not valid, e2fsck must scan the entire inode table, and
the the old, uninitialized data could potentially cause e2fsck to
report false problems.
Hence, it is important for the inode tables to be initialized as soon
as possble. This commit adds this feature so that mke2fs can safely
use the lazy inode table initialization feature to speed up formatting
file systems.
This is done via a new new kernel thread called ext4lazyinit, which is
created on demand and destroyed, when it is no longer needed. There
is only one thread for all ext4 filesystems in the system. When the
first filesystem with inititable mount option is mounted, ext4lazyinit
thread is created, then the filesystem can register its request in the
request list.
This thread then walks through the list of requests picking up
scheduled requests and invoking ext4_init_inode_table(). Next schedule
time for the request is computed by multiplying the time it took to
zero out last inode table with wait multiplier, which can be set with
the (init_itable=n) mount option (default is 10). We are doing
this so we do not take the whole I/O bandwidth. When the thread is no
longer necessary (request list is empty) it frees the appropriate
structures and exits (and can be created later later by another
filesystem).
We do not disturb regular inode allocations in any way, it just do not
care whether the inode table is, or is not zeroed. But when zeroing, we
have to skip used inodes, obviously. Also we should prevent new inode
allocations from the group, while zeroing is on the way. For that we
take write alloc_sem lock in ext4_init_inode_table() and read alloc_sem
in the ext4_claim_inode, so when we are unlucky and allocator hits the
group which is currently being zeroed, it just has to wait.
This can be suppresed using the mount option no_init_itable.

(E.g., a single 1TB partition will have about 8000 block groups, using
about 2MB of slab, of which nearly 1MB is wasted.)

Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
by themselves. For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,
but that's left for later patches.

__block_write_begin and block_prepare_write are identical except for slightly
different calling conventions. Convert all callers to the __block_write_begin
calling conventions and drop block_prepare_write.

The BKL is still used in ext4_put_super(), ext4_fill_super() and
ext4_remount(). All three calles are protected against concurrent calls by
the s_umount rw semaphore of struct super_block.
Therefore the BKL is protecting nothing in this case.

This patch is a preparation necessary to remove the BKL from do_new_mount().
It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around
get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL.
I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside
do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL
any more.
do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs
and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called
from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount()
through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through
afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems
follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified
get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given
fill_super function.
Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the
low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.
[arnd: do not add the BKL to those file systems that already
don't use it elsewhere]
