In order to make it simpler to test the code which support i_blocks/indirect-mapped inodes, support the conversion of inodes which are less than 12 blocks and which are contained in no more than a single extent. The primary intended use of this code is to converting freshly created zero-length files and empty directories. Note that the version of chattr in e2fsprogs 1.42.7 and earlier has a check that prevents the clearing of the extent flag. A simple patch which allows "chattr -e <file>" to work will be checked into the e2fsprogs git repository. Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

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 02d262df 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. Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

The older code was far more complicated than it needed to be because of how we spliced in the ext4's new multiblock allocator into ext3's indirect block code. By folding ext4_alloc_blocks() into ext4_alloc_branch(), we make the code far more understable, shave off over 130 lines of code and half a kilobyte of compiled object code.

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.

Commit 84c17543 (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 84c17543, 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. Signed-off-by: NLukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

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.

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.

This commit fixes a wrong return value of the number of the allocated blocks in ext4_split_extent.

But the real length is 16. So 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.

When using quota feature we need to enable quotas before orphan cleanup so that changes happening during it are properly reflected in quota accounting. Signed-off-by: NJan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

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.

ext4_dir_llseek is only used as a callback function, and no one calls it directly. So make it as a static function in order to remove a warning message from sparse check. Signed-off-by: NZheng Liu <wenqing.lz@taobao.com> Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

We're using macro EXT4_B2C() to convert number of blocks to number of clusters for bigalloc file systems. However, we should be using EXT4_NUM_B2C(). Signed-off-by: NLukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

'orig_data' is malloced in ext4_remount() and should be freed before leaving from the error handling cases, otherwise it will cause memory leak.

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.
