Commit 18888cf0883c: "ext4: speed up truncate/unlink by not using
bforget() unless needed" removed the use of EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET in
the most important codepath for file systems using extents, but a
similar optimization also can be done for file systems using indirect
blocks, and for the two special cases in the ext4 extents code.

For a file systems with a very large number of block groups, if all of
the block group bitmaps are in memory and the file system is
relatively badly fragmented, it's possible ext4_mb_regular_allocator()
to take a long time trying to find a good match. This is especially
true if the tuning parameter mb_max_to_scan has been sent to a very
large number. So add a cond_resched() to avoid soft lockup warnings
and to provide better system responsiveness.
For ext4_free_blocks(), if we are deleting a large range of blocks,
and data=journal is enabled so that EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET is passed,
the loop to call sb_find_get_block() and to call ext4_forget() can
take over 10-15 milliseocnds or more. So it's better to add a
cond_resched() here a well.

Rename ext4_da_writepages() to ext4_writepages() and use it for all
modes. We still need to iterate over all the pages in the case of
data=journalling, but in the case of nodelalloc/data=ordered (which is
what file systems mounted using ext3 backwards compatibility will use)
this will allow us to use a much more efficient I/O submission path.

The test_root() function could potentially loop forever due to
overflow issues. So rewrite test_root() to avoid this issue; as a
bonus, it is 38% faster when benchmarked via a test loop:
int main(int argc, char **argv)

int i;
for (i = 0; i < 1 << 24; i++) {
if (test_root(i, 7))

Currently PageWriteback bit gets cleared from put_io_page() called
from ext4_end_bio(). This is somewhat inconvenient as extent tree is
not fully updated at that time (unwritten extents are not marked as
written) so we cannot read the data back yet. This design was
dictated by lock ordering as we cannot start a transaction while
PageWriteback bit is set (we could easily deadlock with
ext4_da_writepages()). But now that we use transaction reservation
for extent conversion, locking issues are solved and we can move
PageWriteback bit clearing after extent conversion is done. As a
result we can remove wait for unwritten extent conversion from
ext4_sync_file() because it already implicitely happens through
wait_on_page_writeback().
We implement deferring of PageWriteback clearing by queueing completed
bios to appropriate io_end and processing all the pages when io_end is
going to be freed instead of at the moment ext4_io_end() is called.

There are two issues with current writeback path in ext4. For one we
don't necessarily map complete pages when blocksize < pagesize and
thus needn't do any writeback in one iteration. We always map some
blocks though so we will eventually finish mapping the page. Just if
writeback races with other operations on the file, forward progress is
not really guaranteed. The second problem is that current code
structure makes it hard to associate all the bios to some range of
pages with one io_end structure so that unwritten extents can be
converted after all the bios are finished. This will be especially
difficult later when io_end will be associated with reserved
transaction handle.
We restructure the writeback path to a relatively simple loop which
first prepares extent of pages, then maps one or more extents so that
no page is partially mapped, and once page is fully mapped it is
submitted for IO. We keep all the mapping and IO submission
information in mpage_da_data structure to somewhat reduce stack usage.
Resulting code is somewhat shorter than the old one and hopefully also
easier to read.

Currently punch hole is disabled in file systems with bigalloc
feature enabled. However the recent changes in punch hole patch should
make it easier to support punching holes on bigalloc enabled file
systems.
This commit changes partial_cluster handling in ext4_remove_blocks(),
ext4_ext_rm_leaf() and ext4_ext_remove_space(). Currently
partial_cluster is unsigned long long type and it makes sure that we
will free the partial cluster if all extents has been released from that
cluster. However it has been specifically designed only for truncate.
With punch hole we can be freeing just some extents in the cluster
leaving the rest untouched. So we have to make sure that we will notice
cluster which still has some extents. To do this I've changed
partial_cluster to be signed long long type. The only scenario where
this could be a problem is when cluster_size == block size, however in
that case there would not be any partial clusters so we're safe. For
bigger clusters the signed type is enough. Now we use the negative value
in partial_cluster to mark such cluster used, hence we know that we must
not free it even if all other extents has been freed from such cluster.
This scenario can be described in simple diagram:
|FFF...FF..FF.UUU|
^----------^
punch hole
. - free space
| - cluster boundary
F - freed extent
U - used extent
Also update respective tracepoints to use signed long long type for
partial_cluster.

region of the punched out range and then use ext4_block_truncate_page()

In the case where we are allocating for a non-extent file,
we must limit the groups we allocate from to those below
2^32 blocks, and ext4_mb_regular_allocator() attempts to
do this initially by putting a cap on ngroups for the
subsequent search loop.
However, the initial target group comes in from the
allocation context (ac), and it may already be beyond
the artificially limited ngroups. In this case,
the limit
if (group == ngroups)
group = 0;
at the top of the loop is never true, and the loop will
run away.
Catch this case inside the loop and reset the search to

The cause is that ext4_es_find_delayed_extent() doesn't have an
upper bound, it keeps searching until a delayed extent is found.
When there are a lots of non-delayed entries in the extent state
tree, ext4_es_find_delayed_extent() may uses a lot of CPU time.

Due to a missing cast, the high 32-bits of a 64-bit block number used

Zach reported a problem that if inline data is enabled, we don't
tell the difference between the offset of '.' and '..'. And a
getdents will fail if the user only want to get '.'. And what's
worse, we may meet with duplicate dir entries as the offset
for inline dir and non-inline one is quite different.
This patch just try to resolve this problem if dir_index
is disabled. In this case, f_pos is the real offset with
the dir block, so for inline dir, we just pretend as if
we are a dir block and returns the offset like a norml
dir block does.

Zach reported a problem that if inline data is enabled, we don't
tell the difference between the offset of '.' and '..'. And a
getdents will fail if the user only want to get '.' and what's worse,
if there is a conversion happens when the user calls getdents
many times, he/she may get the same entry twice.
In theory, a dir block would also fail if it is converted to a
hashed-index based dir since f_pos will become a hash value, not the
real one, but it doesn't happen. And a deep investigation shows that
we uses a hash based solution even for a normal dir if the dir_index
feature is enabled.
So this patch just adds a new htree_inlinedir_to_tree for inline dir,
and if we find that the hash index is supported, we will do like what
we do for a dir block.

Inode allocation transaction is pretty heavy (246 credits with quotas
and extents before previous patch, still around 200 after it). This is
mostly due to credits required for allocation of quota structures
(credits there are heavily overestimated but it's difficult to make
better estimates if we don't want to wire non-trivial assumptions about
quota format into filesystem).
So move quota initialization out of allocation transaction. That way
transaction for quota structure allocation will be started only if we
need to look up quota structure on disk (rare) and furthermore it will
be started for each quota type separately, not for all of them at once.
This reduces maximum transaction size to 34 is most cases and to 73 in
the worst case.

So far ext4_bio_write_page() attached all the pages to ext4_io_end
structure. This makes that structure pretty heavy (1 KB for pointers
+ 16 bytes per page attached to the bio). Also later we would like to
share ext4_io_end structure among several bios in case IO to a single
extent needs to be split among several bios and pointing to pages from
ext4_io_end makes this complex.
We remove page pointers from ext4_io_end and use pointers from bio
itself instead. This isn't as easy when blocksize < pagesize because
then we can have several bios in flight for a single page and we have
to be careful when to call end_page_writeback(). However this is a
known problem already solved by block_write_full_page() /
end_buffer_async_write() so we mimic its behavior here. We mark
buffers going to disk with BH_Async_Write flag and in
ext4_bio_end_io() we check whether there are any buffers with
BH_Async_Write flag left. If there are not, we can call
end_page_writeback().

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 when inserting extent in ext4_ext_insert_extent() we would
only try to to see if we can append new extent to the found extent. If

We can avoid this situation by trying to append and prepend new extent

sides of the existing extent, we have to pick the right extent to try to
append/prepend to.

Currently when converting extent to initialized we attempt to transfer
initialized block to the left neighbour if possible when certain
criteria are met. However we do not attempt to do the same for the
right neighbor.
This commit adds the possibility to transfer initialized block to the
right neighbour if:
1. We're not converting the whole extent
2. Both extents are stored in the same extent tree node
3. Right neighbor is initialized
4. Right neighbor is logically abutting the current one
5. Right neighbor is physically abutting the current one
6. Right neighbor would not overflow the length limit
This is basically the same logic as with transferring to the left. This
will gain us some performance benefits since it is faster than inserting
extent and then merging it.
It would also prevent some situation in delalloc patch when we might run
out of metadata reservation. This is due to the fact that we would
attempt to split the extent first (possibly allocating new metadata
block) even though we did not counted for that because it can (and will)
be merged again. This commit fix that scenario, because we no longer
need to split the extent in such case.

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.

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.

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.

I had assumed that the only use of module aliases for filesystems
prior to "fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules."
was in request_module. It turns out I was wrong. At least mkinitcpio
in Arch linux uses these aliases.
So readd the preexising aliases, to keep from breaking userspace.
Userspace eventually will have to follow and use the same aliases the
kernel does. So at some point we may be delete these aliases without
problems. However that day is not today.

Currently when converting extent to initialized, we have to decide
whether to zeroout part/all of the uninitialized extent in order to
avoid extent tree growing rapidly.
The decision is made by comparing the size of the extent with the
configurable value s_extent_max_zeroout_kb which is in kibibytes units.
However when converting it to number of blocks we currently use it as it
was in bytes. This is obviously bug and it will result in ext4 _never_
zeroout extents, but rather always split and convert parts to
initialized while leaving the rest uninitialized in default setting.
Fix this by using s_extent_max_zeroout_kb as kibibytes.

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.

Currently in ext4_ext_map_blocks() in delayed allocation writeback
we would update the reservation and after that check whether we claimed
cluster outside of the range of the allocation and if so, we'll give the
block back to the reservation pool.
However this also means that if the number of reserved data block
dropped to zero before the correction, we would release all the metadata
reservation as well, however we might still need it because the we're
not done with the delayed allocation and there might be more blocks to
come. This will result in error messages such as:
EXT4-fs warning (device sdb): ext4_da_update_reserve_space:361: ino 12,
allocated 1 with only 0 reserved metadata blocks (releasing 1 blocks
with reserved 1 data blocks)
This will only happen on bigalloc file system and it can be easily
reproduced using fiemap-tester from xfstests like this:
./src/fiemap-tester -m DHDHDHDHD -S -p0 /mnt/test/file
Or using xfstests such as 225.
Fix this by doing the correction first and updating the reservation
after that so that we do not accidentally decrease
i_reserved_data_blocks to zero.

ext4_releasepage() warns when it is passed a page with PageChecked set.
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()
check - we are guaranteed page has buffers in this function.

This commit fixes a wrong return value of the number of the allocated
blocks in ext4_split_extent. When the length of blocks we want to
allocate is greater than the length of the current extent, we return a
wrong number. Let's see what happens in the following case when we
call ext4_split_extent().
map: [48, 72]
ex: [32, 64, u]
'ex' will be split into two parts:
ex1: [32, 47, u]
ex2: [48, 64, w]
'map->m_len' is returned from this function, and the value is 24. But
the real length is 16. So it should be fixed.
Meanwhile in this commit we use right length of the allocated blocks
when get_reserved_cluster_alloc in ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents
is called.

When we try to split an extent, this extent could be zeroed out and mark
as initialized. But we don't know this in ext4_map_blocks because it
only returns a length of allocated extent. Meanwhile we will mark this
extent as uninitialized because we only check m_flags.

extent. We don't need to worry about the status of this extent because
we always mark it as initialized.

The ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents() function was assuming the
return value of ext4_ext_map_blocks() is equal to map->m_len. This
incorrect assumption was harmless until we started use status tree as
a extent cache because we need to update status tree according to
'm_len' value.
Meanwhile this commit marks EXT4_MAP_MAPPED flag after unwritten extent
conversion. It shouldn't cause a bug because we update status tree
according to checking EXT4_MAP_UNWRITTEN flag. But it should be fixed.

Derived from Jan's patch:http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/36470
Merging of uninitialized extents creates all sorts of interesting race
possibilities when writeback / DIO races with fallocate. Thus
ext4_convert_unwritten_extents_endio() has to deal with a case where
extent to be converted needs to be split out first. That isn't nice
for two reasons:
1) It may need allocation of extent tree block so ENOSPC is possible.
2) It complicates end_io handling code
So we disable merging of uninitialized extents which allows us to simplify
the code. Extents will get merged after they are converted to initialized
ones.

When ext4_split_extent_at() ends up doing zeroout & conversion to
initialized instead of split & conversion, ext4_split_extent() gets
confused and can wrongly mark the extent back as uninitialized
resulting in end IO code getting confused from large unwritten extents
and may result in data loss.
The example of problematic behavior is:
lblk len lblk len
ext4_split_extent() (ex=[1000,30,uninit], map=[1010,10])
ext4_split_extent_at() (split [1000,30,uninit] at 1020)
ext4_ext_insert_extent() -> ENOSPC
ext4_ext_zeroout()
-> extent [1000,30] is now initialized
ext4_split_extent_at() (split [1000,30,init] at 1010,
MARK_UNINIT1 | MARK_UNINIT2)
-> extent is split and parts marked as uninitialized
Fix the problem by rechecking extent type after the first
ext4_split_extent_at() returns. None of split_flags can not be applied
to initialized extent so this patch also add BUG_ON to prevent similar
issues in future.

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.
A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.
Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.
Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.
This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.
This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.
After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

So far we silently ignored when quota mount options were set while quota
feature was enabled. But this can create confusion in userspace when
mount options are set but silently ignored and also creates opportunities
for bugs when we don't properly test all quota types. Actually
ext4_mark_dquot_dirty() forgets to test for quota feature so it was
dependent on journaled quota options being set. OTOH ext4_orphan_cleanup()
tries to enable journaled quota when quota options are specified which is
wrong when quota feature is enabled.

Use a percpu counter rather than atomic types for shrinker accounting.
There's no need for ultimate accuracy in the shrinker, so this
should come a little more cheaply. The percpu struct is somewhat
large, but there was a big gap before the cache-aligned
s_es_lru_lock anyway, and it fits nicely in there.

When the system is under memory pressure, ext4_es_srhink() will get
called very often. So optimize returning the number of items in the
file system's extent status cache by keeping a per-filesystem count,
instead of calculating it each time by scanning all of the inodes in
the extent status cache.
Also rename the slab used for the extent status cache to be
"ext4_extent_status" so it's obviousl the slab in question is created
by ext4.

ext4: fix extent status tree regression for file systems > 512GB
This fixes a regression introduced by commit f7fec032aa. The
problem was that the extents status flags caused us to mask out block
numbers smaller than 2**28 blocks. Since we didn't test with file
systems smaller than 512GB, we didn't notice this during the
development cycle.
A typical failure looks like this:
EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): htree_dirblock_to_tree:919: inode #172235804: block
152052301: comm ls: bad entry in directory: rec_len is smaller than minimal -
offset=0(0), inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0
... where 'debugfs -R "stat <172235804>" /dev/sdb1' reports that the
inode has block number 688923213. When viewed in hex, block number
152052301 (from the syslog) is 0x910224D, while block number 688923213
is 0x2910224D. Note the missing "0x20000000" in the block number.

ext4_has_free_clusters() should tell us whether there is enough free
clusters to allocate, however number of free clusters in the file system
is converted to blocks using EXT4_C2B() which is not only wrong use of
the macro (we should have used EXT4_NUM_B2C) but it's also completely
wrong concept since everything else is in cluster units.
Moreover when calculating number of root clusters we should be using
macro EXT4_NUM_B2C() instead of EXT4_B2C() otherwise the result might be
off by one. However r_blocks_count should always be a multiple of the
cluster ratio so doing a plain bit shift should be enough here. We
avoid using EXT4_B2C() because it's confusing.
As a result of the first problem number of free clusters is much bigger
than it should have been and ext4_has_free_clusters() would return 1 even
if there is really not enough free clusters available.
Fix this by removing the EXT4_C2B() conversion of free clusters and
using bit shift when calculating number of root clusters. This bug
affects number of xfstests tests covering file system ENOSPC situation
handling. With this patch most of the ENOSPC problems with bigalloc file
system disappear, especially the errors caused by delayed allocation not
having enough space when the actual allocation is finally requested.

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 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.

Currently when new xattr block is created or released we we would call
dquot_free_block() or dquot_alloc_block() respectively, among the else
decrementing or incrementing the number of blocks assigned to the
inode by one block.
This however does not work for bigalloc file system because we always
allocate/free the whole cluster so we have to count with that in
dquot_free_block() and dquot_alloc_block() as well.
Use the clusters-to-blocks conversion EXT4_C2B() when passing number of
blocks to the dquot_alloc/free functions to fix the problem.

Although extent status is loaded on-demand, we also need to reclaim
extent from the tree when we are under a heavy memory pressure because
in some cases fragmented extent tree causes status tree costs too much
memory.
Here we maintain a lru list in super_block. When the extent status of
an inode is accessed and changed, this inode will be move to the tail
of the list. The inode will be dropped from this list when it is
cleared. In the inode, a counter is added to count the number of
cached objects in extent status tree. Here only written/unwritten/hole
extent is counted because delayed extent doesn't be reclaimed due to
fiemap, bigalloc and seek_data/hole need it. The counter will be
increased as a new extent is allocated, and it will be decreased as a
extent is freed.
In this commit we use normal shrinker framework to reclaim memory from
the status tree. ext4_es_reclaim_extents_count() traverses the lru list
to count the number of reclaimable extents. ext4_es_shrink() tries to
reclaim written/unwritten/hole extents from extent status tree. The
inode that has been shrunk is moved to the tail of lru list.

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.
