      ext4: check for ext[23] file system features when mounting as ext[23] · 2035e776
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      Provide better emulation for ext[23] mode by enforcing that the file
      system does not have any unsupported file system features as defined
      by ext[23] when emulating the ext[23] file system driver when
      CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23 is defined.
      
      This causes the file system type information in /proc/mounts to be
      correct for the automatically mounted root file system.  This also
      means that "mount -t ext2 /dev/sda /mnt" will fail if /dev/sda
      contains an ext3 or ext4 file system, just as one would expect if the
      original ext2 file system driver were in use.

      ext4: serialize unaligned asynchronous DIO · e9e3bcec
      Eric Sandeen 提交于
      ext4 has a data corruption case when doing non-block-aligned
      asynchronous direct IO into a sparse file, as demonstrated
      by xfstest 240.
      
      The root cause is that while ext4 preallocates space in the
      hole, mappings of that space still look "new" and 
      dio_zero_block() will zero out the unwritten portions.  When
      more than one AIO thread is going, they both find this "new"
      block and race to zero out their portion; this is uncoordinated
      and causes data corruption.
      
      Dave Chinner fixed this for xfs by simply serializing all
      unaligned asynchronous direct IO.  I've done the same here.
      The difference is that we only wait on conversions, not all IO.
      This is a very big hammer, and I'm not very pleased with
      stuffing this into ext4_file_write().  But since ext4 is
      DIO_LOCKING, we need to serialize it at this high level.
      
      I tried to move this into ext4_ext_direct_IO, but by then
      we have the i_mutex already, and we will wait on the
      work queue to do conversions - which must also take the
      i_mutex.  So that won't work.
      
      This was originally exposed by qemu-kvm installing to
      a raw disk image with a normal sector-63 alignment.  I've
      tested a backport of this patch with qemu, and it does
      avoid the corruption.  It is also quite a lot slower
      (14 min for package installs, vs. 8 min for well-aligned)
      but I'll take slow correctness over fast corruption any day.
      
      Mingming suggested that we can track outstanding
      conversions, and wait on those so that non-sparse
      files won't be affected, and I've implemented that here;
      unaligned AIO to nonsparse files won't take a perf hit.

      quota: Fix deadlock during path resolution · f00c9e44
      Jan Kara 提交于
      As Al Viro pointed out path resolution during Q_QUOTAON calls to quotactl
      is prone to deadlocks. We hold s_umount semaphore for reading during the
      path resolution and resolution itself may need to acquire the semaphore
      for writing when e. g. autofs mountpoint is passed.
      
      Solve the problem by performing the resolution before we get hold of the
      superblock (and thus s_umount semaphore). The whole thing is complicated
      by the fact that some filesystems (OCFS2) ignore the path argument. So to
      distinguish between filesystem which want the path and which do not we
      introduce new .quota_on_meta callback which does not get the path. OCFS2
      then uses this callback instead of old .quota_on.

      fs: icache RCU free inodes · fa0d7e3d
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
      
      - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
        permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
      - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
        to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
        the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
      - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
      - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
        page lock to follow page->mapping.
      
      The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
      creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
      reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
      kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
      
      In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
      during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
      not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
      
      The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
      however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
      so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
      real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
      doubt it will be a problem.

      ext4: Turn off multiple page-io submission by default · 1449032b
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      Jon Nelson has found a test case which causes postgresql to fail with
      the error:
      
      psql:t.sql:4: ERROR: invalid page header in block 38269 of relation base/16384/16581
      
      Under memory pressure, it looks like part of a file can end up getting
      replaced by zero's.  Until we can figure out the cause, we'll roll
      back the change and use block_write_full_page() instead of
      ext4_bio_write_page().  The new, more efficient writing function can
      be used via the mount option mblk_io_submit, so we can test and fix
      the new page I/O code.
      
      To reproduce the problem, install postgres 8.4 or 9.0, and pin enough
      memory such that the system just at the end of triggering writeback
      before running the following sql script:
      
      begin;
      create temporary table foo as select x as a, ARRAY[x] as b FROM
      generate_series(1, 10000000 ) AS x;
      create index foo_a_idx on foo (a);
      create index foo_b_idx on foo USING GIN (b);
      rollback;
      
      If the temporary table is created on a hard drive partition which is
      encrypted using dm_crypt, then under memory pressure, approximately
      30-40% of the time, pgsql will issue the above failure.
      
      This patch should fix this problem, and the problem will come back if
      the file system is mounted with the mblk_io_submit mount option.
