      ext4: Fix fencepost error in chosing choosing group vs file preallocation. · cc483f10
      Tao Ma 提交于
      The ext4 multiblock allocator decides whether to use group or file
      preallocation based on the file size.  When the file size reaches
      s_mb_stream_request (default is 16 blocks), it changes to use a
      file-specific preallocation. This is cool, but it has a tiny problem.
      
      See a simple script:
      mkfs.ext4 -b 1024 /dev/sda8 1000000
      mount -t ext4 -o nodelalloc /dev/sda8 /mnt/ext4
      for((i=0;i<5;i++))
      do
      cat /mnt/4096>>/mnt/ext4/a	#4096 is a file with 4096 characters.
      cat /mnt/4096>>/mnt/ext4/b
      done
      debuge4fs -R 'stat a' /dev/sda8|grep BLOCKS -A 1
      
      And you get
      BLOCKS:
      (0-14):8705-8719, (15):2356, (16-19):8465-8468
      
      So there are 3 extents, a bit strange for the lonely 15th logical
      block.  As we write to the 16 blocks, we choose file preallocation in
      ext4_mb_group_or_file, but in ext4_mb_normalize_request, we meet with
      the 16*1024 range, so no preallocation will be carried. file b then
      reserves the space after '2356', so when when write 16, we start from
      another part.
      
      This patch just change the check in ext4_mb_group_or_file, so
      that for the lonely 15 we will still use group preallocation.
      After the patch, we will get:
      debuge4fs -R 'stat a' /dev/sda8|grep BLOCKS -A 1
      BLOCKS:
      (0-15):8705-8720, (16-19):8465-8468
      
      Looks more sane. Thanks.

      ext4: Add block validity check when truncating indirect block mapped inodes · 1f2acb60
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      Add checks to ext4_free_branches() to make sure a block number found
      in an indirect block are valid before trying to free it.  If a bad
      block number is found, stop freeing the indirect block immediately,
      since the file system is corrupt and we will need to run fsck anyway.
      This also avoids spamming the logs, and specifically avoids
      driver-level "attempt to access beyond end of device" errors obscure
      what is really going on.
      
      If you get *really*, *really*, *really* unlucky, without this patch, a
      supposed indirect block containing garbage might contain a reference
      to a primary block group descriptor, in which case
      ext4_free_branches() could end up zero'ing out a block group
      descriptor block, and if then one of the block bitmaps for a block
      group described by that bg descriptor block is not in memory, and is
      read in by ext4_read_block_bitmap().  This function calls
      ext4_valid_block_bitmap(), which assumes that bg_inode_table() was
      validated at mount time and hasn't been modified since.  Since this
      assumption is no longer valid, it's possible for the value
      (ext4_inode_table(sb, desc) - group_first_block) to go negative, which
      will cause ext4_find_next_zero_bit() to trigger a kernel GPF.

      ext4: Fix potential quota deadlock · d21cd8f1
      Dmitry Monakhov 提交于
      We have to delay vfs_dq_claim_space() until allocation context destruction.
      Currently we have following call-trace:
      ext4_mb_new_blocks()

       ->ext4_mb_release_context() /* drop ac->alloc_semp here */

      The block validity framework does a more comprehensive set of checks,

      ext4: call ext4_forget() from ext4_free_blocks() · e6362609
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      Add the facility for ext4_forget() to be called from
      ext4_free_blocks().  This simplifies the code in a large number of
      places, and centralizes most of the work of calling ext4_forget() into
      a single place.
      
      Also fix a bug in the extents migration code; it wasn't calling
      ext4_forget() when releasing the indirect blocks during the
      conversion.  As a result, if the system cashed during or shortly after

      ext4: Use tracepoints for mb_history trace file · 296c355c
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      The /proc/fs/ext4/<dev>/mb_history was maintained manually, and had a
      number of problems: it required a largish amount of memory to be
      allocated for each ext4 filesystem, and the s_mb_history_lock
      introduced a CPU contention problem.  
      
      By ripping out the mb_history code and replacing it with ftrace
      tracepoints, and we get more functionality: timestamps, event
      filtering, the ability to correlate mballoc history with other ext4
      tracepoints, etc.

      There are a number of kernel printk's which are printed when an ext4
      filesystem is mounted and unmounted.  Disable them to economize space
      in the system logs.  In addition, disabling the mballoc stats by

      ext4: limit block allocations for indirect-block files to < 2^32 · fb0a387d
      Eric Sandeen 提交于
      Today, the ext4 allocator will happily allocate blocks past
      2^32 for indirect-block files, which results in the block
      numbers getting truncated, and corruption ensues.
      
      This patch limits such allocations to < 2^32, and adds
      BUG_ONs if we do get blocks larger than that.
      
      This should address RH Bug 519471, ext4 bitmap allocator 
      must limit blocks to < 2^32
      
      * ext4_find_goal() is modified to choose a goal < UINT_MAX,
        so that our starting point is in an acceptable range.
      
      * ext4_xattr_block_set() is modified such that the goal block
        is < UINT_MAX, as above.
      
      * ext4_mb_regular_allocator() is modified so that the group
        search does not continue into groups which are too high
      
      * ext4_mb_use_preallocated() has a check that we don't use
        preallocated space which is too far out
      
      * ext4_alloc_blocks() and ext4_xattr_block_set() add some BUG_ONs
      
      No attempt has been made to limit inode locations to < 2^32,
      so we may wind up with blocks far from their inodes.  Doing
      this much already will lead to some odd ENOSPC issues when the
      "lower 32" gets full, and further restricting inodes could
      make that even weirder.
      
      For high inodes, choosing a goal of the original, % UINT_MAX,
      may be a bit odd, but then we're in an odd situation anyway,
      and I don't know of a better heuristic.

      simplify some logic in ext4_mb_normalize_request · 38877f4e
      Eric Sandeen 提交于
      While reading through some of the mballoc code it seems that a couple
      spots in the size normalization function could be streamlined.
      
      The test for non-overlapping PAs can be or'd for the start & end
      conditions, and the tests for adjacent PAs can be else-if'd - 
      it's essentially independently testing:
      
      	if (A + B <= C)
      		...
      	if (A > C)
      		...
      
      These cannot both be true so it seems like the else-if might
      be slightly more efficient and/or informative.

      ext4: open-code ext4_mb_update_group_info · 0373130d
      Eric Sandeen 提交于
      ext4_mb_update_group_info is only called in one place, and it's
      extremely simple.  There's no reason to have it in a separate function
      in a separate file as far as I can tell, it just obfuscates what's
      really going on.
      
      Perhaps it was intended to keep the grp->bb_* manipulation local to
      mballoc.c but we're already accessing other grp-> fields in balloc.c
      directly so this seems ok.

      ext4: Avoid group preallocation for closed files · 50797481
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      Currently the group preallocation code tries to find a large (512)
      free block from which to do per-cpu group allocation for small files.
      The problem with this scheme is that it leaves the filesystem horribly
      fragmented.  In the worst case, if the filesystem is unmounted and
      remounted (after a system shutdown, for example) we forget the fact
      that wee were using a particular (now-partially filled) 512 block
      extent.  So the next time we try to allocate space for a small file,
      we will find *another* completely free 512 block chunk to allocate
      small files.  Given that there are 32,768 blocks in a block group,
      after 64 iterations of "mount, write one 4k file in a directory,
      unmount", the block group will have 64 files, each separated by 511
      blocks, and the block group will no longer have any free 512
      completely free chunks of blocks for group preallocation space.
      
      So if we try to allocate blocks for a file that has been closed, such
      that we know the final size of the file, and the filesystem is not
      busy, avoid using group preallocation.

      ext4: Fix bugs in mballoc's stream allocation mode · 4ba74d00
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      The logic around sbi->s_mb_last_group and sbi->s_mb_last_start was all
      screwed up.  These fields were getting unconditionally all the time,
      set even when stream allocation had not taken place, and if they were
      being used when the file was smaller than s_mb_stream_request, which
      is when the allocation should _not_ be doing stream allocation.
      
      Fix this by determining whether or not we stream allocation should
      take place once, in ext4_mb_group_or_file(), and setting a flag which
      gets used in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() and ext4_mb_use_best_found().
      This simplifies the code and assures that we are consistently using
      (or not using) the stream allocation logic.

      ext4: mark several more functions in mballoc.c as noinline · 089ceecc
      Eric Sandeen 提交于
      Ted noticed a stack-deep callchain through
      writepages->ext4_mb_regular_allocator->ext4_mb_init_cache->submit_bh ...
      
      With all the static functions in mballoc.c, gcc helpfully
      inlines for us, and we get something like this:
      
      ext4_mb_regular_allocator	(232 bytes stack)
      	ext4_mb_init_cache	(232 bytes stack)
      		submit_bh	(starts 464 deeper)
      
      the 2 ext4 functions here get several others inlined; by telling
      gcc not to inline them, we can save stack space for when we
      head off into submit_bh land and associated block layer callchains.
      The following noinlined functions are only called once, so this
      won't impact any other callchains:
      
      ext4_mb_regular_allocator 			(104) (was 232)
      	ext4_mb_find_by_goal			 (56) (noinlined)
      	ext4_mb_init_group			 (24) (noinlined)
      		ext4_mb_init_cache		(136) (was 232)
      			ext4_mb_generate_buddy	 (88) (noinlined)
      			ext4_mb_generate_from_pa (40) (noinlined)
      			submit_bh
      	ext4_mb_simple_scan_group		 (24) (noinlined)
      	ext4_mb_scan_aligned			 (56) (noinlined)
      	ext4_mb_complex_scan_group		 (40) (noinlined)
      	ext4_mb_try_best_found			 (24) (noinlined)
      
      now when we head off into submit_bh() we're only 264 bytes deeper
      in stack than when we entered ext4_mb_regular_allocator()
      (vs. 464 bytes before).  Every 200 bytes helps.  :)

      ext4: Add a comprehensive block validity check to ext4_get_blocks() · 6fd058f7
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      To catch filesystem bugs or corruption which could lead to the
      filesystem getting severly damaged, this patch adds a facility for
      tracking all of the filesystem metadata blocks by contiguous regions
      in a red-black tree.  This allows quick searching of the tree to
      locate extents which might overlap with filesystem metadata blocks.
      
      This facility is also used by the multi-block allocator to assure that
      it is not allocating blocks out of the system zone, as well as by the
      routines used when reading indirect blocks and extents information
      from disk to make sure their contents are valid.
