      ext4: Move the ext4_i.h header file into ext4.h · d444c3c3
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      There is no longer a reason for a separate ext4_i.h header file, so
      move it into ext4.h just to make life easier for developers to find
      the relevant data structures and typedefs.  Should also speed up
      compiles slightly, too.

      ext4: Don't avoid using BLOCK_UNINIT block groups in mballoc · 75507efb
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      By avoiding the use of not-yet-used block groups (i.e., block groups
      with the BLOCK_UNINIT flag), mballoc had a tendency to create large
      files with large non-contiguous gaps.  In addition avoiding the use of
      new block groups had a tendency to push regular file data into the
      first block group in a flex_bg group, which slows down the speed of
      e2fsck pass 2, since it has a tendency to seek much more.  For
      example:

      This was on a sample 80 gig root filesystem which was approximately
      50% full.  Note the improved e2fsck pass 2 performance, by over a
      factor of 3, due to a decreased number of seeks.  (The total amount of
      I/O in pass 2 was unchanged; the layout of the directory blocks was
      simply much better from e2fsck's's perspective.)
      
      Other changes as a result of this patch on this sample filesystem:

      Out of 640 block groups, of which 333 were in use, this patch caused
      an extra 14 block groups to be utilized.  The number of non-contiguous
      files did go up slightly, but when measured against the 99.9% of the
      files (603,154) which were contiguously allocated, this is pretty
      insignificant.

      ext4: ext4_mark_recovery_complete() doesn't need to use lock_super · a63c9eb2
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      The function ext4_mark_recovery_complete() is called from two call
      paths: either (a) while mounting the filesystem, in which case there's
      no danger of any other CPU calling write_super() until the mount is
      completed, and (b) while remounting the filesystem read-write, in
      which case the fs core has already locked the superblock.  This also
      allows us to take out a very vile unlock_super()/lock_super() pair in
      ext4_remount().

      ext4: Avoid races caused by on-line resizing and SMP memory reordering · 8df9675f
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      Ext4's on-line resizing adds a new block group and then, only at the
      last step adjusts s_groups_count.  However, it's possible on SMP
      systems that another CPU could see the updated the s_group_count and
      not see the newly initialized data structures for the just-added block
      group.  For this reason, it's important to insert a SMP read barrier
      after reading s_groups_count and before reading any (for example) the
      new block group descriptors allowed by the increased value of
      s_groups_count.
      
      Unfortunately, we rather blatently violate this locking protocol
      documented in fs/ext4/resize.c.  Fortunately, (1) on-line resizes
      happen relatively rarely, and (2) it seems rare that the filesystem
      code will immediately try to use just-added block group before any
      memory ordering issues resolve themselves.  So apparently problems
      here are relatively hard to hit, since ext3 has been vulnerable to the
      same issue for years with no one apparently complaining.

      ext4: Fix and simplify s_dirt handling · 7234ab2a
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      The s_dirt flag wasn't completely handled correctly, but it didn't
      really matter when journalling was enabled.  It turns out that when
      ext4 runs without a journal, we don't clear s_dirt in places where we
      should have, with the result that the high-level write_super()
      function was writing the superblock when it wasn't necessary.
      
      So we fix this by making ext4_commit_super() clear the s_dirt flag,
      and removing many of the other places where s_dirt is manipulated.
      When journalling is enabled, the s_dirt flag might be left set more
      often, but s_dirt really doesn't matter when journalling is enabled.

      ext4: Fallback to vmalloc if kmalloc can't allocate s_flex_groups array · c5ca7c76
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      For very large filesystems, the s_flex_groups array can get quite big.
      For example, a filesystem that can be resized up to 16TB will have
      8192 flex groups (assuming the default flex_bg size of 16), so the
      array is 96k, which is *very* marginal for kmalloc().  On the other
      hand, a 160GB filesystem without the resize_inode feature will only
      require 960 bytes.  So we try to allocate the array first using
      kmalloc(), and if that fails, we'll try to use vmalloc() instead.

      ext4: Mark the unwritten buffer_head as mapped during write_begin · 29fa89d0
      Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于
      Setting BH_Unwritten buffer_heads as BH_Mapped avoids multiple
      (unnecessary) calls to get_block() during the call to the write(2)
      system call.  Setting BH_Unwritten buffer heads as BH_Mapped requires
      that the writepages() functions can handle BH_Unwritten buffer_heads.
      
      After this commit, things work as follows:
      
      ext4_ext_get_block() returns unmapped, unwritten, buffer head when
      called with create = 0 for prealloc space. This makes sure we handle
      the read path and non-delayed allocation case correctly.  Even though
      the buffer head is marked unmapped we have valid b_blocknr and b_bdev
      values in the buffer_head.
      
      ext4_da_get_block_prep() called for block resrevation will now return
      mapped, unwritten, new buffer_head for prealloc space. This avoids
      multiple calls to get_block() for write to same offset. By making such
      buffers as BH_New, we also assure that sub-block zeroing of buffered
      writes happens correctly.

      vfs: Add BUG_ON for delayed and unwritten flags in submit_bh() · 8fb0e342
      Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于
      The BH_Delay and BH_Unwritten flags should never leak out to
      submit_bh().  So add some BUG_ON() checks to submit_bh so we can get a
      stack trace and determine how and why this might have happened.
      
      (Note that only XFS and ext4 use these buffer head flags, and XFS does
      not use submit_bh().  So this patch should only modify behavior for
      ext4.)
