This patch adds an allocation request flag to the ext4_has_free_blocks function which enables the use of reserved blocks. This will allow a punch hole to proceed even if the disk is full. Punching a hole may require additional blocks to first split the extents. Because ext4_has_free_blocks is a low level function, the flag needs to be passed down through several functions listed below: ext4_ext_insert_extent ext4_ext_create_new_leaf ext4_ext_grow_indepth ext4_ext_split ext4_ext_new_meta_block ext4_mb_new_blocks ext4_claim_free_blocks ext4_has_free_blocks [ext4 punch hole patch series 1/5 v7] Signed-off-by: NAllison Henderson <achender@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Reviewed-by: NMingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com>

The implementation is based on the design given at https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Design_For_1st_Class_Quota_in_Ext4.

Prevent an ext4 filesystem from being mounted multiple times. A sequence number is stored on disk and is periodically updated (every 5 seconds by default) by a mounted filesystem. At mount time, we now wait for s_mmp_update_interval seconds to make sure that the MMP sequence does not change. In case of failure, the nodename, bdevname and the time at which the MMP block was last updated is displayed.

In order to make lazyinit eat approx. 10% of io bandwidth at max, we are sleeping between zeroing each single inode table. For that purpose we are using timer which wakes up thread when it expires. It is set via add_timer() and this may cause troubles in the case that thread has been woken up earlier and in next iteration we call add_timer() on still running timer hence hitting BUG_ON in add_timer(). We could fix that by using mod_timer() instead however we can use schedule_timeout_interruptible() for waiting and hence simplifying things a lot. This commit exchange the old "waiting mechanism" with simple schedule_timeout_interruptible(), setting the time to sleep. Hence we do not longer need li_wait_daemon waiting queue and others, so get rid of it.

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.

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.

Currently all filesystems except XFS implement fallocate asynchronously, while XFS forced a commit. Both of these are suboptimal - in case of O_SYNC I/O we really want our allocation on disk, especially for the !KEEP_SIZE case where we actually grow the file with user-visible zeroes. On the other hand always commiting the transaction is a bad idea for fast-path uses of fallocate like for example in recent Samba versions. Given that block allocation is a data plane operation anyway change it from an inode operation to a file operation so that we have the file structure available that lets us check for O_SYNC. This also includes moving the code around for a few of the filesystems, and remove the already unnedded S_ISDIR checks given that we only wire up fallocate for regular files.

Ted first found the bug when running 2.6.36 kernel with dioread_nolock mount option that xfstests #13 complained about wrong file size during fsck. However, the bug exists in the older kernels as well although it is somehow harder to trigger. The problem is that ext4_end_io_work() can happen after we have truncated an inode to a smaller size. Then when ext4_end_io_work() calls ext4_convert_unwritten_extents(), we may reallocate some blocks that have been truncated, so the inode size becomes inconsistent with the allocated blocks. The following patch flushes the i_completed_io_list during truncate to reduce the risk that some pending end_io requests are executed later and convert already truncated blocks to initialized. Note that although the fix helps reduce the problem a lot there may still be a race window between vmtruncate() and ext4_end_io_work(). The fundamental problem is that if vmtruncate() is called without either i_mutex or i_alloc_sem held, it can race with an ongoing write request so that the io_end request is processed later when the corresponding blocks have been truncated. Ted and I have discussed the problem offline and we saw a few ways to fix the race completely: a) We guarantee that i_mutex lock and i_alloc_sem write lock are both hold whenever vmtruncate() is called. The i_mutex lock prevents any new write requests from entering writeback and the i_alloc_sem prevents the race from ext4_page_mkwrite(). Currently we hold both locks if vmtruncate() is called from do_truncate(), which is probably the most common case. However, there are places where we may call vmtruncate() without holding either i_mutex or i_alloc_sem. I would like to ask for other people's opinions on what locks are expected to be held before calling vmtruncate(). There seems a disagreement among the callers of that function. b) We change the ext4 write path so that we change the extent tree to contain the newly allocated blocks and update i_size both at the same time --- when the write of the data blocks is completed. c) We add some additional locking to synchronize vmtruncate() and ext4_end_io_work(). This approach may have performance implications so we need to be careful. All of the above proposals may require more substantial changes, so we may consider to take the following patch as a bandaid.

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.

The following BUG can occur when an inode which is getting freed when it still has dirty pages outstanding, and it gets deleted (in this because it was the target of a rename). In ordered mode, we need to make sure the data pages are written just in case we crash before the rename (or unlink) is committed. If the inode is being freed then when we try to igrab the inode, we end up tripping the BUG_ON at fs/ext4/page-io.c:146. To solve this problem, we need to keep track of the number of io callbacks which are pending, and avoid destroying the inode until they have all been completed. That way we don't have to bump the inode count to keep the inode from being destroyed; an approach which doesn't work because the count could have already been dropped down to zero before the inode writeback has started (at which point we're not allowed to bump the count back up to 1, since it's already started getting freed). Thanks to Dave Chinner for suggesting this approach, which is also used by XFS. kernel BUG at /scratch_space/linux-2.6/fs/ext4/page-io.c:146!

Walk through allocation groups and trim all free extents. It can be invoked through FITRIM ioctl on the file system. The main idea is to provide a way to trim the whole file system if needed, since some SSD's may suffer from performance loss after the whole device was filled (it does not mean that fs is full!). It search for free extents in allocation groups specified by Byte range start -> start+len. When the free extent is within this range, blocks are marked as used and then trimmed. Afterwards these blocks are marked as free in per-group bitmap. Since fstrim is a long operation it is good to have an ability to interrupt it by a signal. This was added by Dmitry Monakhov.

The llseek system call should return EINVAL if passed a seek offset which results in a write error. What this maximum offset should be depends on whether or not the huge_file file system feature is set, and whether or not the file is extent based or not. If the file has no "EXT4_EXTENTS_FL" flag, the maximum size which can be written (write systemcall) is different from the maximum size which can be sought (lseek systemcall). For example, the following 2 cases demonstrates the differences between the maximum size which can be written, versus the seek offset allowed by the llseek system call: #1: mkfs.ext3 <dev>; mount -t ext4 <dev> #2: mkfs.ext3 <dev>; tune2fs -Oextent,huge_file <dev>; mount -t ext4 <dev> Table. the max file size which we can write or seek at each filesystem feature tuning and file flag setting +============+===============================+===============================+ | \ File flag| | | | \ | !EXT4_EXTENTS_FL | EXT4_EXTETNS_FL | |case \| | | +------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+ | #1 | write: 2194719883264 | write: -------------- | | | seek: 2199023251456 | seek: -------------- | +------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+ | #2 | write: 4402345721856 | write: 17592186044415 | | | seek: 17592186044415 | seek: 17592186044415 | +------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+ The differences exist because ext4 has 2 maxbytes which are sb->s_maxbytes (= extent-mapped maxbytes) and EXT4_SB(sb)->s_bitmap_maxbytes (= block-mapped maxbytes). Although generic_file_llseek uses only extent-mapped maxbytes. (llseek of ext4_file_operations is generic_file_llseek which uses sb->s_maxbytes.) Therefore we create ext4 llseek function which uses 2 maxbytes. The new own function originates from generic_file_llseek().

When the lazy_itable_init extended option is passed to mke2fs, it considerably speeds up filesystem creation because inode tables are not zeroed out. The fact that parts of the inode table are uninitialized is not a problem so long as the block group descriptors, which contain information regarding how much of the inode table has been initialized, has not been corrupted However, if the block group checksums are not valid, e2fsck must scan the entire inode table, and the the old, uninitialized data could potentially cause e2fsck to report false problems. Hence, it is important for the inode tables to be initialized as soon as possble. This commit adds this feature so that mke2fs can safely use the lazy inode table initialization feature to speed up formatting file systems. This is done via a new new kernel thread called ext4lazyinit, which is created on demand and destroyed, when it is no longer needed. There is only one thread for all ext4 filesystems in the system. When the first filesystem with inititable mount option is mounted, ext4lazyinit thread is created, then the filesystem can register its request in the request list. This thread then walks through the list of requests picking up scheduled requests and invoking ext4_init_inode_table(). Next schedule time for the request is computed by multiplying the time it took to zero out last inode table with wait multiplier, which can be set with the (init_itable=n) mount option (default is 10). We are doing this so we do not take the whole I/O bandwidth. When the thread is no longer necessary (request list is empty) it frees the appropriate structures and exits (and can be created later later by another filesystem). We do not disturb regular inode allocations in any way, it just do not care whether the inode table is, or is not zeroed. But when zeroing, we have to skip used inodes, obviously. Also we should prevent new inode allocations from the group, while zeroing is on the way. For that we take write alloc_sem lock in ext4_init_inode_table() and read alloc_sem in the ext4_claim_inode, so when we are unlucky and allocator hits the group which is currently being zeroed, it just has to wait. This can be suppresed using the mount option no_init_itable. Signed-off-by: NLukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

ext4_group_info structures are currently allocated with kmalloc(). With a typical 4K block size, these are 136 bytes each -- meaning they'll each consume a 256-byte slab object. On a system with many ext4 large partitions, that's a lot of wasted kernel slab space. (E.g., a single 1TB partition will have about 8000 block groups, using about 2MB of slab, of which nearly 1MB is wasted.) This patch creates an array of slab pointers created as needed -- depending on the superblock block size -- and uses these slabs to allocate the group info objects.
