When performing a same-directory rename, it's possible that adding or setting the new directory entry will cause the directory to overflow the inline data area, which causes the directory to be converted to an extent-based directory. Under this circumstance it is necessary to re-read the directory when deleting the old dirent because the "old directory" context still points to i_block in the inode table, which is now an extent tree root! The delete fails with an FS error, and the subsequent fsck complains about incorrect link counts and hardlinked directories. Test case (originally found with flat_dir_test in the metadata_csum test program): # mkfs.ext4 -O inline_data /dev/sda # mount /dev/sda /mnt # mkdir /mnt/x # touch /mnt/x/changelog.gz /mnt/x/copyright /mnt/x/README.Debian # sync # for i in /mnt/x/*; do mv $i $i.longer; done # ls -la /mnt/x/ total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 25 12:03 changelog.gz.longer -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 25 12:03 copyright -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 25 12:03 copyright.longer -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 25 12:03 README.Debian.longer (Hey!

It turns out that there are some serious problems with the on-disk format of journal checksum v2. The foremost is that the function to calculate descriptor tag size returns sizes that are too big. This causes alignment issues on some architectures and is compounded by the fact that some parts of jbd2 use the structure size (incorrectly) to determine the presence of a 64bit journal instead of checking the feature flags. Therefore, introduce journal checksum v3, which enlarges the descriptor block tag format to allow for full 32-bit checksums of journal blocks, fix the journal tag function to return the correct sizes, and fix the jbd2 recovery code to use feature flags to determine 64bitness. Add a few function helpers so we don't have to open-code quite so many pieces. Switching to a 16-byte block size was found to increase journal size overhead by a maximum of 0.1%, to convert a 32-bit journal with no checksumming to a 32-bit journal with checksum v3 enabled.

If we suffer a block allocation failure (for example due to a memory allocation failure), it's possible that we will call ext4_discard_allocated_blocks() before we've actually allocated any blocks. In that case, fe_len and fe_start in ac->ac_f_ex will still be zero, and this will result in mb_free_blocks(inode, e4b, 0, 0) triggering the BUG_ON on mb_free_blocks(): BUG_ON(last >= (sb->s_blocksize << 3)); Fix this by bailing out of ext4_discard_allocated_blocks() if fs_len is zero.

If we run into some kind of error, such as ENOMEM, while calling ext4_getblk() or ext4_dx_find_entry(), we need to make sure this error gets propagated up to ext4_find_entry() and then to its callers. This way, transient errors such as ENOMEM can get propagated to the VFS. This is important so that the system calls return the appropriate error, and also so that in the case of ext4_lookup(), we return an error instead of a NULL inode, since that will result in a negative dentry cache entry that will stick around long past the OOM condition which caused a transient ENOMEM error.

If there is a failure while allocating the preallocation structure, a number of blocks can end up getting marked in the in-memory buddy bitmap, and then not getting released. This can result in the following corruption getting reported by the kernel: EXT4-fs error (device sda3): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:758: group 1126, 12793 clusters in bitmap, 12729 in gd In that case, we need to release the blocks using mb_free_blocks().

Currently punch hole code on files with direct/indirect mapping has some problems which may lead to a data loss. For example (from Jan Kara): fallocate -n -p 10240000 4096 will punch the range 10240000 - 12632064 instead of the range 1024000 - 10244096. Also the code is a bit weird and it's not using infrastructure provided by indirect.c, but rather creating it's own way. This patch fixes the issues as well as making the operation to run 4 times faster from my testing (punching out 60GB file). It uses similar approach used in ext4_ind_truncate() which takes advantage of ext4_free_branches() function. Also rename the ext4_free_hole_blocks() to something more sensible, like the equivalent we have for extent mapped files. Call it ext4_ind_remove_space(). This has been tested mostly with fsx and some xfstests which are testing punch hole but does not require unwritten extents which are not supported with direct/indirect mapping.

Commit 00764937 ("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.

Error recovery in ext4_alloc_branch() calls ext4_forget() even for buffer corresponding to indirect block it did not allocate. This leads to brelse() being called twice for that buffer (once from ext4_forget() and once from cleanup in ext4_ind_map_blocks()) leading to buffer use count misaccounting. Eventually (but often much later because there are other users of the buffer) we will see messages like: VFS: brelse: Trying to free free buffer Another manifestation of this problem is an error: JBD2 unexpected failure: jbd2_journal_revoke: !buffer_revoked(bh); inconsistent data on disk The fix is easy - don't forget buffer we did not allocate. Also add an explanatory comment because the indexing at ext4_alloc_branch() is somewhat subtle.

aops->write_begin may allocate a new page and make it visible only to have mark_page_accessed called almost immediately after. Once the page is visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be noticable with fast storage. The objective of the patch is to initialse the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is visible. The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial allocation of a page cache page. This patch adds an init_page_accessed() helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically. The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used by most filesystems. find_get_page find_lock_page find_or_create_page grab_cache_page_nowait grab_cache_page_write_begin All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not. Then old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core function. Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already done the job. There is a slight snag in that the timing of the mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might have been repromoted. This is expected to be rare but it's worth the filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the timing change. It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems have consistent behaviour in this regard. The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations. The size of the file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing. In the async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact of mark_page_accessed for async IO. The sync results are expected to be more stable. The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO" to not hit the disk. The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA artifacts. Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the variability is unsuitable for comparison. As async results were variable do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures. The sync results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting. The performance results are reported based on a run with no profiling. Profile data is based on a separate run with oprofile running. async dd 3.15.0-rc3 3.15.0-rc3 vanilla accessed-v2 ext3 Max elapsed 13.9900 ( 0.00%) 11.5900 ( 17.16%) tmpfs Max elapsed 0.5100 ( 0.00%) 0.4900 ( 3.92%) btrfs Max elapsed 12.8100 ( 0.00%) 12.7800 ( 0.23%) ext4 Max elapsed 18.6000 ( 0.00%) 13.3400 ( 28.28%) xfs Max elapsed 12.5600 ( 0.00%) 2.0900 ( 83.36%) The XFS figure is a bit strange as it managed to avoid a worst case by sheer luck but the average figures looked reasonable. samples percentage ext3 86107 0.9783 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc4-vanilla mark_page_accessed ext3 23833 0.2710 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc4-accessed-v3r25 mark_page_accessed ext3 5036 0.0573 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc4-accessed-v3r25 init_page_accessed ext4 64566 0.8961 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc4-vanilla mark_page_accessed ext4 5322 0.0713 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc4-accessed-v3r25 mark_page_accessed ext4 2869 0.0384 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc4-accessed-v3r25 init_page_accessed xfs 62126 1.7675 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc4-vanilla mark_page_accessed xfs 1904 0.0554 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc4-accessed-v3r25 init_page_accessed xfs 103 0.0030 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc4-accessed-v3r25 mark_page_accessed btrfs 10655 0.1338 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc4-vanilla mark_page_accessed btrfs 2020 0.0273 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc4-accessed-v3r25 init_page_accessed btrfs 587 0.0079 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc4-accessed-v3r25 mark_page_accessed tmpfs 59562 3.2628 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc4-vanilla mark_page_accessed tmpfs 1210 0.0696 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc4-accessed-v3r25 init_page_accessed tmpfs 94 0.0054 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc4-accessed-v3r25 mark_page_accessed [akpm@linux-foundation.org: don't run init_page_accessed() against an uninitialised pointer] Signed-off-by: NMel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com> Cc: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: "Paul E.

The last in-tree caller of block_write_full_page_endio() was removed in January 2013. It's time to remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL, which leaves block_write_full_page() as the only caller of block_write_full_page_endio(), so inline block_write_full_page_endio() into block_write_full_page().

This commit tries to fix a bug that we can't read symlink properly with inline data feature when the length of symlink is greater than 60 bytes but less than extra space. The key issue is in ext4_inode_is_fast_symlink() that it doesn't check whether or not an inode has inline data. When the user creates a new symlink, an inode will be allocated with MAY_INLINE_DATA flag. Then symlink will be stored in ->i_block and extended attribute space. In the mean time, this inode is with inline data flag. After remounting it, ext4_inode_is_fast_symlink() function thinks that this inode is a fast symlink so that the data in ->i_block is copied to the user, and the data in extra space is trimmed. In fact this inode should be as a normal symlink. The following script can hit this bug. #!/bin/bash cd ${MNT} filename=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789 rm -rf test mkdir test cd test echo "hello" >$filename ln -s $filename symlinkfile cd sudo umount /mnt/sda1 sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 readlink /mnt/sda1/test/symlinkfile After applying this patch, it will break the assumption in e2fsck because the original implementation doesn't want to support symlink with inline data.

The variable "size" is expressed as number of blocks and not as number of clusters, this could trigger a kernel panic when using ext4 with the size of a cluster different from the size of a block.

Tail of a page straddling inode size must be zeroed when being written out due to POSIX requirement that modifications of mmaped page beyond inode size must not be written to the file. ext4_bio_write_page() did this only for blocks fully beyond inode size but didn't properly zero blocks partially beyond inode size. Fix this. The problem has been uncovered by mmap_11-4 test in openposix test suite (part of LTP).
