This is a workaround for find_group_flex() which badly needs to be
replaced.  One of its problems (besides ignoring the Orlov algorithm)
is that it is a bit hyperactive about returning failure under
suspicious circumstances.  This can lead to spurious ENOSPC failures
even when there are inodes still available.

Work around this for now by retrying the search using
find_group_other() if find_group_flex() returns -1.  If
find_group_other() succeeds when find_group_flex() has failed, log a
warning message.

A better block/inode allocator that will fix this problem for real has
been queued up for the next merge window.

This mount option is largely superfluous, and in fact the way it was
implemented was buggy; if a filesystem which did not have the extents
feature flag was mounted -o extents, the filesystem would attempt to
create and use extents-based file even though the extents feature flag
was not eabled.  The simplest thing to do is to nuke the mount option
entirely.  It's not all that useful to force the non-creation of new
extent-based files if the filesystem can support it.

For uninit block group, the on-disk bitmap is not initialized. That
implies we cannot depend on the uptodate flag on the bitmap
buffer_head to find bitmap validity.  Use a new buffer_head flag which
would be set after we properly initialize the bitmap.  This also
prevents (re-)initializing the uninit group bitmap every time we call 
ext4_read_block_bitmap().

We need to make sure we update the inode bitmap and clear
EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT flag with sb_bgl_lock held, since
ext4_read_inode_bitmap() looks at EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT to decide
whether to initialize the inode bitmap each time it is called.
(introduced by commit c806e68f.)

ext4_read_inode_bitmap does:

spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(EXT4_SB(sb), block_group));
if (desc->bg_flags & cpu_to_le16(EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT)) {
	ext4_init_inode_bitmap(sb, bh, block_group, desc);

and ext4_new_inode does
if (!ext4_set_bit_atomic(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, group),
                   ino, inode_bitmap_bh->b_data))
		   ......
		   ...
spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, group));

gdp->bg_flags &= cpu_to_le16(~EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT);
i.e., on allocation we update the bitmap then we take the sb_bgl_lock
and clear the EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT flag. What can happen is a
parallel ext4_read_inode_bitmap can zero out the bitmap in between
the above ext4_set_bit_atomic and spin_lock(sb_bg_lock..)

The race results in below user visible errors

A few weeks ago I posted a patch for discussion that allowed ext4 to run
without a journal.  Since that time I've integrated the excellent
comments from Andreas and fixed several serious bugs.  We're currently
running with this patch and generating some performance numbers against
both ext2 (with backported reservations code) and ext4 with and without
a journal.  It just so happens that running without a journal is
slightly faster for most everything.

We did
	iozone -T -t 4 s 2g -r 256k -T -I -i0 -i1 -i2

which creates 4 threads, each of which create and do reads and writes on
a 2G file, with a buffer size of 256K, using O_DIRECT for all file opens
to bypass the page cache.  Results:

                     ext2        ext4, default   ext4, no journal
  initial writes   13.0 MB/s        15.4 MB/s          15.7 MB/s
  rewrites         13.1 MB/s        15.6 MB/s          15.9 MB/s
  reads            15.2 MB/s        16.9 MB/s          17.2 MB/s
  re-reads         15.3 MB/s        16.9 MB/s          17.2 MB/s
  random readers    5.6 MB/s         5.6 MB/s           5.7 MB/s
  random writers    5.1 MB/s         5.3 MB/s           5.4 MB/s

This fixes a bug which caused on-line resizing of filesystems with a
1k blocksize to fail.  The root cause of this bug was the fact that if
an uninitalized bitmap block gets read in by userspace (which
e2fsprogs does try to avoid, but can happen when the blocksize is less
than the pagesize and an adjacent blocks is read into memory)
ext4_read_block_bitmap() was erroneously depending on the buffer
uptodate flag to decide whether it needed to initialize the bitmap
block in memory --- i.e., to set the standard set of blocks in use by
a block group (superblock, bitmaps, inode table, etc.).  Essentially,
ext4_read_block_bitmap() assumed it was the only routine that might
try to read a block containing a block bitmap, which is simply not
true.  

To fix this, ext4_read_block_bitmap() and ext4_read_inode_bitmap()
must always initialize uninitialized bitmap blocks.  Once a block or
inode is allocated out of that bitmap, it will be marked as
initialized in the block group descriptor, so in general this won't
result any extra unnecessary work.

The find_group_flex() function starts with best_flex as the
parent_fbg_group, which happens to have 0 inodes free.  Some of the
flex groups searched have free blocks and free inodes, but the
flex_freeb_ratio is < 10, so they're skipped.  Then when a group is
compared to the current "best" flex group, it does not have more free
blocks than "best", so it is skipped as well.

This continues until no flex group with free inodes is found which has
a proper ratio or which has more free blocks than the "best" group,
and we're left with a "best" group that has 0 inodes free, and we
return -ENOSPC.

We fix this by changing the logic so that if the current "best" flex
group has no inodes free, and the current one does have room, it is
promoted to the next "best."

This patch mostly controls the way inode are allocated in order to
make ialloc aware of flex_bg block group grouping.  It achieves this
by bypassing the Orlov allocator when block group meta-data are packed
toghether through mke2fs.  Since the impact on the block allocator is
minimal, this patch should have little or no effect on other block
allocation algorithms. By controlling the inode allocation, it can
basically control where the initial search for new block begins and
thus indirectly manipulate the block allocator.

This allocator favors data and meta-data locality so the disk will
gradually be filled from block group zero upward.  This helps improve
performance by reducing seek time.  Since the group of inode tables
within one flex_bg are treated as one giant inode table, uninitialized
block groups would not need to partially initialize as many inode
table as with Orlov which would help fsck time as the filesystem usage
goes up.

In pass1 of e2fsck, every inode table in the fileystem is scanned and checked,
regardless of whether it is in use.  This is this the most time consuming part
of the filesystem check.  The unintialized block group feature can greatly
reduce e2fsck time by eliminating checking of uninitialized inodes.

With this feature, there is a a high water mark of used inodes for each block
group.  Block and inode bitmaps can be uninitialized on disk via a flag in the
group descriptor to avoid reading or scanning them at e2fsck time.  A checksum
of each group descriptor is used to ensure that corruption in the group
descriptor's bit flags does not cause incorrect operation.

The feature is enabled through a mkfs option

	mke2fs /dev/ -O uninit_groups

A patch adding support for uninitialized block groups to e2fsprogs tools has
been posted to the linux-ext4 mailing list.

The patches have been stress tested with fsstress and fsx.  In performance
tests testing e2fsck time, we have seen that e2fsck time on ext3 grows
linearly with the total number of inodes in the filesytem.  In ext4 with the
uninitialized block groups feature, the e2fsck time is constant, based
solely on the number of used inodes rather than the total inode count.
Since typical ext4 filesystems only use 1-10% of their inodes, this feature can
greatly reduce e2fsck time for users.  With performance improvement of 2-20
times, depending on how full the filesystem is.

The attached graph shows the major improvements in e2fsck times in filesystems
with a large total inode count, but few inodes in use.

In each group descriptor if we have

EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT set in bg_flags:
        Inode table is not initialized/used in this group. So we can skip
        the consistency check during fsck.
EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT set in bg_flags:
        No block in the group is used. So we can skip the block bitmap
        verification for this group.

We also add two new fields to group descriptor as a part of
uninitialized group patch.

        __le16  bg_itable_unused;       /* Unused inodes count */
        __le16  bg_checksum;            /* crc16(sb_uuid+group+desc) */

bg_itable_unused:

If we have EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT not set in bg_flags
then bg_itable_unused will give the offset within
the inode table till the inodes are used. This can be
used by fsck to skip list of inodes that are marked unused.

bg_checksum:
Now that we depend on bg_flags and bg_itable_unused to determine
the block and inode usage, we need to make sure group descriptor
is not corrupt. We add checksum to group descriptor to
detect corruption. If the descriptor is found to be corrupt, we
mark all the blocks and inodes in the group used.
