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

Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return VM_FAULT_xxx flags. There should be no functional change. This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to the VM (and also can provide more information eg. virtual_address to the driver, which might be important in some special cases). This is required for a subsequent fix. And will also make it easier to merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

Add a mount option which allows the user to disable automatic allocation of blocks whose allocation by delayed allocation when the file was originally truncated or when the file is renamed over an existing file. This feature is intended to save users from the effects of naive application writers, but it reduces the effectiveness of the delayed allocation code. This mount option disables this safety feature, which may be desirable for prodcutions systems where the risk of unclean shutdowns or unexpected system crashes is low.

The find_group_flex() inode allocator is now only used if the filesystem is mounted using the "oldalloc" mount option. It is replaced with the original Orlov allocator that has been updated for flex_bg filesystems (it should behave the same way if flex_bg is disabled). The inode allocator now functions by taking into account each flex_bg group, instead of each block group, when deciding whether or not it's time to allocate a new directory into a fresh flex_bg. The block allocator has also been changed so that the first block group in each flex_bg is preferred for use for storing directory blocks. This keeps directory blocks close together, which is good for speeding up e2fsck since large directories are more likely to look like this: debugfs: stat /home/tytso/Maildir/cur Inode: 1844562 Type: directory Mode: 0700 Flags: 0x81000 Generation: 1132745781 Version: 0x00000000:0000ad71 User: 15806 Group: 15806 Size: 1060864 File ACL: 0 Directory ACL: 0 Links: 2 Blockcount: 2072 Fragment: Address: 0 Number: 0 Size: 0 ctime: 0x499c0ff4:164961f4 -- Wed Feb 18 08:41:08 2009 atime: 0x499c0ff4:00000000 -- Wed Feb 18 08:41:08 2009 mtime: 0x49957f51:00000000 -- Fri Feb 13 09:10:25 2009 crtime: 0x499c0f57:00d51440 -- Wed Feb 18 08:38:31 2009 Size of extra inode fields: 28 BLOCKS: (0):7348651, (1-258):7348654-7348911 TOTAL: 259 Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

Tighten that to disallow TOPDIR being set on non-directories and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set on non-regular file, non-directories.

The rec_len field in the directory entry is 16 bits, so to encode blocksizes larger than 64k becomes problematic. This patch allows us to supprot block sizes up to 256k, by using the low 2 bits to extend the range of rec_len to 2**18-1 (since valid rec_len sizes must be a multiple of 4). We use the convention that a rec_len of 0 or 65535 means the filesystem block size, for compatibility with older kernels. It's unlikely we'll see VM pages of up to 256k, but at some point we might find that the Linux VM has been enhanced to support filesystem block sizes > than the VM page size, at which point it might be useful for some applications to allow very large filesystem block sizes.

The rec_len field in the directory entry is 16 bits, so there was a problem representing rec_len for filesystems with a 64k block size in the case where the directory entry takes the entire 64k block. Unfortunately, there were two schemes that were proposed; one where all zeros meant 65536 and one where all ones (65535) meant 65536. E2fsprogs used 0, whereas the kernel used 65535. Oops. Fortunately this case happens extremely rarely, with the most common case being the lost+found directory, created by mke2fs. So we will be liberal in what we accept, and accept both encodings, but we will continue to encode 65536 as 65535. This will require a change in e2fsprogs, but with fortunately ext4 filesystems normally have the dir_index feature enabled, which precludes having a completely empty directory block.

Directories are not allowed to be bigger than 2GB, so don't use i_size_high for anything other than regular files. E2fsck should complain about these inodes, but the simplest thing to do for the kernel is to only use i_size_high for regular files. This prevents an intentially corrupted filesystem from causing the kernel to burn a huge amount of CPU and issuing error messages such as: EXT4-fs warning (device loop0): ext4_block_to_path: block 135090028 > max Thanks to David Maciejak from Fortinet's FortiGuard Global Security Research Team for reporting this issue. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12375Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@kernel.org

For NR_CPUS >= 16 values, FBC_BATCH is 2*NR_CPUS Considering more and more distros are using high NR_CPUS values, it makes sense to use a more sensible value for FBC_BATCH, and get rid of NR_CPUS. A sensible value is 2*num_online_cpus(), with a minimum value of 32 (This minimum value helps branch prediction in __percpu_counter_add()) We already have a hotcpu notifier, so we can adjust FBC_BATCH dynamically.

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.

If the journal doesn't abort when it gets an IO error in file data blocks, the file data corruption will spread silently. Because most of applications and commands do buffered writes without fsync(), they don't notice the IO error. It's scary for mission critical systems. On the other hand, if the journal aborts whenever it gets an IO error in file data blocks, the system will easily become inoperable. So this patch introduces a filesystem option to determine whether it aborts the journal or just call printk() when it gets an IO error in file data. If you mount an ext4 fs with data_err=abort option, it aborts on file data write error. If you mount it with data_err=ignore, it doesn't abort, just call printk(). data_err=ignore is the default.
