Due to a missing cast, the high 32-bits of a 64-bit block number used
when calculating the readahead block for inode tables can get lost.
This means we can end up fetching the wrong blocks for readahead for
file systems > 16TB.
Linus found this when experimenting with an enhacement to the sparse

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.

Values stored in s_freeclusters_counter and s_dirtyclusters_counter
are both in cluster units. Remove the cluster to block conversion
applied to s_freeclusters_counter causing an inflated estimate of
free space because s_dirtyclusters_counter is not similarly
converted. Rename free_blocks and dirty_blocks to better reflect
the units these variables contain to avoid future confusion. This

Add a new ioctl, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT which swaps i_blocks and
associated attributes (like i_blocks, i_size, i_flags, ...) from the
specified inode with inode EXT4_BOOT_LOADER_INO (#5). This is
typically used to store a boot loader in a secure part of the
filesystem, where it can't be changed by a normal user by accident.
The data blocks of the previous boot loader will be associated with
the given inode.
This usercode program is a simple example of the usage:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int fd;
int err;
if ( argc != 2 ) {
printf("usage: ext4-swap-boot-inode FILE-TO-SWAP\n");
exit(1);
}
fd = open(argv[1], O_WRONLY);
if ( fd < 0 ) {
perror("open");
exit(1);
}
err = ioctl(fd, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT);
if ( err < 0 ) {
perror("ioctl");
exit(1);
}
close(fd);
exit(0);
}

In the case where an inode has a very stale transaction id (tid) in
i_datasync_tid or i_sync_tid, it's possible that after a very large
(2**31) number of transactions, that the tid number space might wrap,
causing tid_geq()'s calculations to fail.
Commit deeeaf13 "jbd2: fix fsync() tid wraparound bug", later modified
by commit e7b04ac0 "jbd2: don't wake kjournald unnecessarily",
attempted to fix this problem, but it only avoided kjournald spinning
forever by fixing the logic in jbd2_log_start_commit().
Unfortunately, in the codepaths in fs/ext4/fsync.c and fs/ext4/inode.c
that might call jbd2_log_start_commit() with a stale tid, those
functions will subsequently call jbd2_log_wait_commit() with the same
stale tid, and then wait for a very long time. To fix this, we
replace the calls to jbd2_log_start_commit() and
jbd2_log_wait_commit() with a call to a new function,
jbd2_complete_transaction(), which will correctly handle stale tid's.
As a bonus, jbd2_complete_transaction() will avoid locking
j_state_lock for writing unless a commit needs to be started. This
should have a small (but probably not measurable) improvement for
ext4's scalability.

Move common code in ext4_ind_punch_hole() and ext4_ext_punch_hole()
into ext4_punch_hole(). This saves over 150 lines of code.
This also fixes a potential bug when the punch_hole() code is racing
against indirect-to-extents or extents-to-indirect migation. We are
currently using i_mutex to protect against changes to the inode flag;
specifically, the append-only, immutable, and extents inode flags. So
we need to take i_mutex before deciding whether to use the
extents-specific or indirect-specific punch_hole code.
Also, there was a missing call to ext4_inode_block_unlocked_dio() in
the indirect punch codepath. This was added in commit 02d262dffc
to block DIO readers racing against the punch operation in the
codepath for extent-mapped inodes, but it was missing for
indirect-block mapped inodes. One of the advantages of refactoring
the code is that it makes such oversights much less likely.

In data=journal mode, if we unmount the file system before a
transaction has a chance to complete, when the journal inode is being
evicted, we can end up calling into jbd2_log_wait_commit() for the
last transaction, after the journalling machinery has been shut down.
Arguably we should adjust ext4_should_journal_data() to return FALSE
for the journal inode, but the only place it matters is
ext4_evict_inode(), and so to save a bit of CPU time, and to make the
patch much more obviously correct by inspection(tm), we'll fix it by
explicitly not trying to waiting for a journal commit when we are
evicting the journal inode, since it's guaranteed to never succeed in
this case.
This can be easily replicated via:
mount -t ext4 -o data=journal /dev/vdb /vdb ; umount /vdb

Commit 84c17543ab (ext4: move work from io_end to inode) triggered a
regression when running xfstest #270 when the file system is mounted
with dioread_nolock.
The problem is that after ext4_evict_inode() calls ext4_ioend_wait(),
this guarantees that last io_end structure has been freed, but it does
not guarantee that the workqueue structure, which was moved into the
inode by commit 84c17543ab, is actually finished. Once
ext4_flush_completed_IO() calls ext4_free_io_end() on CPU #1, this
will allow ext4_ioend_wait() to return on CPU #2, at which point the
evict_inode() codepath can race against the workqueue code on CPU #1
accessing EXT4_I(inode)->i_unwritten_work to find the next item of
work to do.
Fix this by calling cancel_work_sync() in ext4_ioend_wait(), which
will be renamed ext4_ioend_shutdown(), since it is only used by
ext4_evict_inode(). Also, move the call to ext4_ioend_shutdown()
until after truncate_inode_pages() and filemap_write_and_wait() are
called, to make sure all dirty pages have been written back and
flushed from the page cache first.

Currently we only reserve space (data+metadata) in delayed allocation if
we're allocating from new cluster (which is always in non-bigalloc file
system) which is ok for data blocks, because we reserve the whole cluster.
However we have to reserve metadata for every delayed block we're going
to write because every block could potentially require metedata block
when we need to grow the extent tree.

However this can correctly happen when invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
invalidates pages - and we should fail the release in that case. Since
the page was dirty anyway, it won't be discarded and no harm has
happened but it's good to be safe. Also remove bogus page_has_buffers()

Create a helper function to check if a backing device requires stable
page writes and, if so, performs the necessary wait. Then, make it so
that all points in the memory manager that handle making pages writable
use the helper function. This should provide stable page write support
to most filesystems, while eliminating unnecessary waiting for devices
that don't require the feature.
Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether
or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional
checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own
thing, so they'd wait too.
After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will
wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots
pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will
never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they
provide their own stable page guarantees or they don't block at all.
The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't
have a disk requiring stable page writes.
Here's the result of using dbench to test latency on ext2:
3.8.0-rc3:
Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat
----------------------------------------
WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817
ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391
Flush 15514 29.828 287.283
Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273
ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112
Flush 14982 30.540 298.634
Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms
As you can see, the maximum write latency drops considerably with this
patch enabled. The other filesystems (ext3/ext4/xfs/btrfs) behave
similarly, but see the cover letter for those results.

After tracking all extent status, we already have a extent cache in
memory. Every time we want to lookup a block mapping, we can first
try to lookup it in extent status tree to avoid a potential disk I/O.
A new function called ext4_es_lookup_extent is defined to finish this
work. When we try to lookup a block mapping, we always call
ext4_map_blocks and/or ext4_da_map_blocks. So in these functions we
first try to lookup a block mapping in extent status tree.
A new flag EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_NO_PUT_HOLE is used in ext4_da_map_blocks
in order not to put a hole into extent status tree because this hole
will be converted to delayed extent in the tree immediately.

By recording the phycisal block and status, extent status tree is able
to track the status of every extents. When we call _map_blocks
functions to lookup an extent or create a new written/unwritten/delayed
extent, this extent will be inserted into extent status tree.
We don't load all extents from disk in alloc_inode() because it costs
too much memory, and if a file is opened and closed frequently it will
takes too much time to load all extent information. So currently when
we create/lookup an extent, this extent will be inserted into extent
status tree. Hence, the extent status tree may not comprehensively
contain all of the extents found in the file.
Here a condition we need to take care is that an extent might contains
unwritten and delayed status simultaneously because an extent is delayed
allocated and could be allocated by fallocate. At this time we need to
keep delayed status because later we need to update delayed reservation
space using it.

This commit adds two members in extent_status structure to let it record
physical block and extent status. Here es_pblk is used to record both
of them because physical block only has 48 bits. So extent status could
be stashed into it so that we can save some memory. Now written,
unwritten, delayed and hole are defined as status.
Due to new member is added into extent status tree, all interfaces need
to be adjusted.

The grab_cache_page_write_begin() function can potentially sleep for a
long time, since it may need to do memory allocation which can block
if the system is under significant memory pressure, and because it may
be blocked on page writeback. If it does take a long time to grab the
page, it's better that we not hold an active jbd2 handle.
So grab a handle on the page first, and _then_ start the transaction
handle.
This commit fixes the following long transaction handle hold time:
postmark-2917 [000] .... 196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32
tid 570 type 2 line_no 2541 interval 311 sync 0 requested_blocks 1

So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for
long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass
context information for logging purposes.
The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is:
T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats
echo "interval > 5" > $EVENT/filter
echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
./run-my-fs-benchmark
cat $T/trace > /tmp/problem-handles
This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms. Having
longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong
time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an
fsync() or an O_SYNC operation. Here is an example line from the
trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over
1.2 seconds:
postmark-2917 [000] .... 196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32

Running AIO is pinning inode in memory using file reference. Once AIO
is completed using aio_complete(), file reference is put and inode can
be freed from memory. So we have to be sure that calling aio_complete()
is the last thing we do with the inode.

So far ext4_writepage() skipped writing pages that had any delayed or
unwritten buffers attached. When blocksize < pagesize this breaks
data=ordered mode guarantees as we can have a page with one freshly
allocated buffer whose allocation is part of the committing
transaction and another buffer in the page which is delayed or
unwritten. So fix this problem by calling ext4_bio_writepage()
anyway. It will submit mapped buffers and leave others alone.

The argument b_size of mpage_add_bh_to_extent() was bogus since it was
always == blocksize (which we can easily derive from inode->i_blkbits).
Also second branch of condition:
if (nrblocks >= EXT4_MAX_TRANS_DATA) {
} else if ((nrblocks + (b_size >> mpd->inode->i_blkbits)) >
EXT4_MAX_TRANS_DATA) {
}
was never taken because (b_size >> mpd->inode->i_blkbits) == 1.

We don't support delayed allocation in data=journal mode. So checking for it in
mpage_da_submit_io() doesn't make really sence. If we ever decide to extend
delayed allocation support to data=journal mode, adding
__ext4_journalled_writepage() call will be the least of problems we have to
solve. Most likely we'd have to implement separate writepages call anyways
because we don't have transaction credits for writing more than a single page
so mapping of page buffers would have to be done differently.

This patch add supports for indirect file support punching hole. It
is almost the same as ext4_ext_punch_hole. First, we invalidate all
pages between this hole, and then we try to deallocate all blocks of
this hole.
A recursive function is used to handle deallocation of blocks. In
this function, it iterates over the entries in inode's i_blocks or
indirect blocks, and try to free the block for each one of them.
After applying this patch, xfstest #255 will not pass w/o extent because
indirect-based file doesn't support unwritten extents.

writeback_inodes_sb(_nr)_if_idle() is re-implemented by replacing down_read()
with down_read_trylock() because
- If ->s_umount is write locked, then the sb is not idle. That is
writeback_inodes_sb(_nr)_if_idle() needn't wait for the lock.
- writeback_inodes_sb(_nr)_if_idle() grabs s_umount lock when it want to start
writeback, it may bring us deadlock problem when doing umount. In order to
fix the problem, ext4 and btrfs implemented their own writeback functions
instead of writeback_inodes_sb(_nr)_if_idle(), but it introduced the redundant
code, it is better to implement a new writeback_inodes_sb(_nr)_if_idle().
The name of these two functions is cumbersome, so rename them to
try_to_writeback_inodes_sb(_nr).
This idea came from Christoph Hellwig.
Some code is from the patch of Kamal Mostafa.
