The EXT4FS_DEBUG is a *very* developer specific #ifdef designed for
ext4 developers only. (You have to modify fs/ext4/ext4.h to enable
it.)
Rearrange how we initialize data structures to avoid calling
ext4_count_free_clusters() until the multiblock allocator has been
initialized.
This also allows us to only call ext4_count_free_clusters() once, and
simplifies the code somewhat.

Commit 007649375f ("ext4: initialize multi-block allocator before
checking block descriptors") causes the block group descriptor's count
of the number of free blocks to become inconsistent with the number of
free blocks in the allocation bitmap. This is a harmless form of fs
corruption, but it causes the kernel to potentially remount the file
system read-only, or to panic, depending on the file systems's error
behavior.
Thanks to Eric Whitney for his tireless work to reproduce and to find
the guilty commit.

Currently in ext4 there is quite a mess when it comes to naming
unwritten extents. Sometimes we call it uninitialized and sometimes we
refer to it as unwritten.
The right name for the extent which has been allocated but does not
contain any written data is _unwritten_. Other file systems are
using this name consistently, even the buffer head state refers to it as
unwritten. We need to fix this confusion in ext4.
This commit changes every reference to an uninitialized extent (meaning
allocated but unwritten) to unwritten extent. This includes comments,
function names and variable names. It even covers abbreviation of the
word uninitialized (such as uninit) and some misspellings.
This commit does not change any of the code paths at all. This has been
confirmed by comparing md5sums of the assembly code of each object file
after all the function names were stripped from it.

With EXT4FS_DEBUG ext4_count_free_clusters() will call
ext4_read_block_bitmap() without s_group_info initialized, so we need to
initialize multi-block allocator before.
And dependencies that must be solved, to allow this:
- multi-block allocator needs in group descriptors
- need to install s_op before initializing multi-block allocator,
because in ext4_mb_init_backend() new inode is created.
- initialize number of group desc blocks (s_gdb_count) otherwise
number of clusters returned by ext4_free_clusters_after_init() is not correct.

When the filesystem doesn't support extents (like in ext2/3

This fixes a problem when filesystem still having some free space when
accessed with a native ext2/3 driver suddently reports ENOSPC when

context using a workqueue. This replaces opencoded and less efficient
code in XFS and ext4 (we save a memory allocation for each direct IO)
and will be needed to properly support O_(D)SYNC for AIO.
The communication between the filesystem and the direct I/O code requires
a new buffer head flag, which is a bit ugly but not avoidable until the
direct I/O code stops abusing the buffer_head structure for communicating
with the filesystems.
Currently this creates a per-superblock unbound workqueue for these
completions, which is taken from an earlier patch by Jan Kara. I'm
not really convinced about this use and would prefer a "normal" global
workqueue with a high concurrency limit, but this needs further discussion.

It's always been a hassle that if an external journal's
device number changes, the filesystem won't mount.
And since boot-time enumeration can change, device number
changes aren't unusual.
The current mechanism to update the journal location is by
passing in a mount option w/ a new devnum, but that's a hassle;
it's a manual approach, fixing things after the fact.
Adding a mount option, "-o journal_path=/dev/$DEVICE" would
help, since then we can do i.e.
# mount -o journal_path=/dev/disk/by-label/$JOURNAL_LABEL ...
and it'll mount even if the devnum has changed, as shown here:
# losetup /dev/loop0 journalfile
# mke2fs -L mylabel-journal -O journal_dev /dev/loop0
# mkfs.ext4 -L mylabel -J device=/dev/loop0 /dev/sdb1
Change the journal device number:
# losetup -d /dev/loop0
# losetup /dev/loop1 journalfile
And today it will fail:
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
# dmesg | tail -n 1
[17343.240702] EXT4-fs (sdb1): error: couldn't read superblock of external journal
But with this new mount option, we can specify the new path:
# mount -o journal_path=/dev/loop1 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test
#
(which does update the encoded device number, incidentally):
# umount /dev/sdb1
# dumpe2fs -h /dev/sdb1 | grep "Journal device"
dumpe2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Journal device: 0x0701
But best of all we can just always mount by journal-path, and
it'll always work:
# mount -o journal_path=/dev/disk/by-label/mylabel-journal /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test
#
So the journal_path option can be specified in fstab, and as long as
the disk is available somewhere, and findable by label (or by UUID),
we can mount.

Commit 5688978 ("ext4: improve handling of conflicting mount options")
introduced incorrect messages shown while choosing wrong mount options.
First of all, both cases of incorrect mount options,
"data=journal,delalloc" and "data=journal,dioread_nolock" result in
the same error message.
Secondly, the problem above isn't solved for remount option: the
mismatched parameter is simply ignored. Moreover, ext4_msg states
that remount with options "data=journal,delalloc" succeeded, which is
not true.
To fix it up, I added a simple check after parse_options() call to

Now we maintain an proper in-order LRU list in ext4 to reclaim entries
from extent status tree when we are under heavy memory pressure. For
keeping this order, a spin lock is used to protect this list. But this
lock burns a lot of CPU time. We can use the following steps to trigger
it.
% cd /dev/shm
% dd if=/dev/zero of=ext4-img bs=1M count=2k
% mkfs.ext4 ext4-img
% mount -t ext4 -o loop ext4-img /mnt
% cd /mnt
% for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do truncate -s 64g $i; done
% for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do cp $i /dev/null &; done
% perf record -a -g
% perf report
This commit tries to fix this problem. Now a new member called
i_touch_when is added into ext4_inode_info to record the last access
time for an inode. Meanwhile we never need to keep a proper in-order
LRU list. So this can avoid to burns some CPU time. When we try to
reclaim some entries from extent status tree, we use list_sort() to get
a proper in-order list. Then we traverse this list to discard some
entries. In ext4_sb_info, we use s_es_last_sorted to record the last
time of sorting this list. When we traverse the list, we skip the inode
that is newer than this time, and move this inode to the tail of LRU
list. When the head of the list is newer than s_es_last_sorted, we will
sort the LRU list again.
In this commit, we break the loop if s_extent_cache_cnt == 0 because
that means that all extents in extent status tree have been reclaimed.
Meanwhile in this commit, ext4_es_{un}register_shrinker()'s prototype is
changed to save a local variable in these functions.

Currently in ENOSPC condition when writing into unwritten space, or
punching a hole, we might need to split the extent and grow extent tree.
However since we can not allocate any new metadata blocks we'll have to
zero out unwritten part of extent or punched out part of extent, or in
the worst case return ENOSPC even though use actually does not allocate
any space.
Also in delalloc path we do reserve metadata and data blocks for the
time we're going to write out, however metadata block reservation is
very tricky especially since we expect that logical connectivity implies
physical connectivity, however that might not be the case and hence we
might end up allocating more metadata blocks than previously reserved.
So in future, metadata reservation checks should be removed since we can
not assure that we do not under reserve.
And this is where reserved space comes into the picture. When mounting
the file system we slice off a little bit of the file system space (2%
or 4096 clusters, whichever is smaller) which can be then used for the
cases mentioned above to prevent costly zeroout, or unexpected ENOSPC.
The number of reserved clusters can be set via sysfs, however it can
never be bigger than number of free clusters in the file system.
Note that this patch fixes the failure of xfstest 274 as expected.

Currently in when getting the block group number for a particular
block in ext4_block_in_group() we're using
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() which uses do_div() to get the block
group and the remainer which is offset within the group.
We don't need all of that in ext4_block_in_group() as we only need to
figure out the group number.
This commit changes ext4_block_in_group() to calculate group number
directly. This shows as a big improvement with regards to cpu
utilization. Measuring fallocate -l 15T on fresh file system with perf
showed that 23% of cpu time was spend in the
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset(). With this change it completely
disappears from the list only bumping the occurrence of
ext4_init_block_bitmap() which is the biggest user of
ext4_block_in_group() by 4%. As the result of this change on my system
the fallocate call was approx. 10% faster.
However since there is '-g' option in mkfs which allow us setting
different groups size (mostly for developers) I've introduced new per
file system flag whether we have a standard block group size or
not. The flag is used to determine whether we can use the bit shift
optimization or not.
