      ext4: Add new "development flag" to the ext4 filesystem · 469108ff
      Theodore Tso 提交于
      This flag is simply a generic "this is a crash/burn test filesystem"
      marker.  If it is set, then filesystem code which is "in development"
      will be allowed to mount the filesystem.  Filesystem code which is not
      considered ready for prime-time will check for this flag, and if it is
      not set, it will refuse to touch the filesystem.
      
      As we start rolling ext4 out to distro's like Fedora, et. al, this makes
      it less likely that a user might accidentally start using ext4 on a
      production filesystem; a bad thing, since that will essentially make it
      be unfsckable until e2fsprogs catches up.

      ext4: FLEX_BG Kernel support v2. · ce421581
      Jose R. Santos 提交于
      This feature relaxes check restrictions on where each block groups meta
      data is located within the storage media.  This allows for the allocation
      of bitmaps or inode tables outside the block group boundaries in cases
      where bad blocks forces us to look for new blocks which the owning block
      group can not satisfy.  This will also allow for new meta-data allocation
      schemes to improve performance and scalability.

      Ext4: Uninitialized Block Groups · 717d50e4
      Andreas Dilger 提交于
      In pass1 of e2fsck, every inode table in the fileystem is scanned and checked,
      regardless of whether it is in use.  This is this the most time consuming part
      of the filesystem check.  The unintialized block group feature can greatly
      reduce e2fsck time by eliminating checking of uninitialized inodes.
      
      With this feature, there is a a high water mark of used inodes for each block
      group.  Block and inode bitmaps can be uninitialized on disk via a flag in the
      group descriptor to avoid reading or scanning them at e2fsck time.  A checksum
      of each group descriptor is used to ensure that corruption in the group
      descriptor's bit flags does not cause incorrect operation.
      
      The feature is enabled through a mkfs option
      
      	mke2fs /dev/ -O uninit_groups
      
      A patch adding support for uninitialized block groups to e2fsprogs tools has
      been posted to the linux-ext4 mailing list.
      
      The patches have been stress tested with fsstress and fsx.  In performance
      tests testing e2fsck time, we have seen that e2fsck time on ext3 grows
      linearly with the total number of inodes in the filesytem.  In ext4 with the
      uninitialized block groups feature, the e2fsck time is constant, based
      solely on the number of used inodes rather than the total inode count.
      Since typical ext4 filesystems only use 1-10% of their inodes, this feature can
      greatly reduce e2fsck time for users.  With performance improvement of 2-20
      times, depending on how full the filesystem is.
      
      The attached graph shows the major improvements in e2fsck times in filesystems
      with a large total inode count, but few inodes in use.
      
      In each group descriptor if we have
      
      EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT set in bg_flags:
              Inode table is not initialized/used in this group. So we can skip
              the consistency check during fsck.
      EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT set in bg_flags:
              No block in the group is used. So we can skip the block bitmap
              verification for this group.
      
      We also add two new fields to group descriptor as a part of
      uninitialized group patch.
      
              __le16  bg_itable_unused;       /* Unused inodes count */
              __le16  bg_checksum;            /* crc16(sb_uuid+group+desc) */
      
      bg_itable_unused:
      
      If we have EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT not set in bg_flags
      then bg_itable_unused will give the offset within
      the inode table till the inodes are used. This can be
      used by fsck to skip list of inodes that are marked unused.
      
      bg_checksum:
      Now that we depend on bg_flags and bg_itable_unused to determine
      the block and inode usage, we need to make sure group descriptor
      is not corrupt. We add checksum to group descriptor to
      detect corruption. If the descriptor is found to be corrupt, we
      mark all the blocks and inodes in the group used.
