This is for Red Hat bug 490026: EXT4 panic, list corruption in ext4_mb_new_inode_pa ext4_lock_group(sb, group) is supposed to protect this list for each group, and a common code flow to remove an album is like this: ext4_get_group_no_and_offset(sb, pa->pa_pstart, &grp, NULL); ext4_lock_group(sb, grp); list_del(&pa->pa_group_list); ext4_unlock_group(sb, grp); so it's critical that we get the right group number back for this prealloc context, to lock the right group (the one associated with this pa) and prevent concurrent list manipulation. however, ext4_mb_put_pa() passes in (pa->pa_pstart - 1) with a comment, "-1 is to protect from crossing allocation group". This makes sense for the group_pa, where pa_pstart is advanced by the length which has been used (in ext4_mb_release_context()), and when the entire length has been used, pa_pstart has been advanced to the first block of the next group. However, for inode_pa, pa_pstart is never advanced; it's just set once to the first block in the group and not moved after that. So in this case, if we subtract one in ext4_mb_put_pa(), we are actually locking the *previous* group, and opening the race with the other threads which do not subtract off the extra block.

The ext4_ext_search_right() function is confusing; it uses a "depth" variable which is 0 at the root and maximum at the leaves, but the on-disk metadata uses a "depth" (actually eh_depth) which is opposite: maximum at the root, and 0 at the leaves. The ext4_ext_check_header() function is given a depth and checks the header agaisnt that depth; it expects the on-disk semantics, but we are giving it the opposite in the while loop in this function. We should be giving it the on-disk notion of "depth" which we can get from (p_depth - depth) - and if you look, the last (more commonly hit) call to ext4_ext_check_header() does just this. Sending in the wrong depth results in (incorrect) messages about corruption: EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_ext_search_right: bad header in inode #2621457: unexpected eh_depth - magic f30a, entries 340, max 340(0), depth 1(2) http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12821Reported-by: NDavid Dindorp <ddi@dubex.dk> Signed-off-by: NEric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

I was seeing fsck errors on inode bitmaps after a 4 thread dbench run on a 4 cpu machine: Inode bitmap differences: -50736 -(50752--50753) etc... I believe that this is because ext4_free_inode() uses atomic bitops, and although ext4_new_inode() *used* to also use atomic bitops for synchronization, commit 39341867 changed this to use the sb_bgl_lock, so that we could also synchronize against read_inode_bitmap and initialization of uninit inode tables. However, that change left ext4_free_inode using atomic bitops, which I think leaves no synchronization between setting & unsetting bits in the inode table. The below patch fixes it for me, although I wonder if we're getting at all heavy-handed with this spinlock...

Thus it can happen that page reclaim is triggered in that function and it recurses back into the filesystem (or some other filesystem).

This is a workaround for find_group_flex() which badly needs to be replaced. One of its problems (besides ignoring the Orlov algorithm) is that it is a bit hyperactive about returning failure under suspicious circumstances. This can lead to spurious ENOSPC failures even when there are inodes still available. Work around this for now by retrying the search using find_group_other() if find_group_flex() returns -1. If find_group_other() succeeds when find_group_flex() has failed, log a warning message. A better block/inode allocator that will fix this problem for real has been queued up for the next merge window. Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

With delayed allocation we lock the page in write_cache_pages() and try to build an in memory extent of contiguous blocks. This is needed so that we can get large contiguous blocks request. If range_cyclic mode is enabled, write_cache_pages() will loop back to the 0 index if no I/O has been done yet, and try to start writing from the beginning of the range. That causes an attempt to take the page lock of lower index page while holding the page lock of higher index page, which can cause a dead lock with another writeback thread. The solution is to implement the range_cyclic behavior in ext4_da_writepages() instead. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12579Signed-off-by: NAneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

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.

If we race with commit code setting i_transaction to NULL, we could possibly dereference it. Proper locking requires the journal pointer (to access journal->j_list_lock), which we don't have.

This undoes commit 14ce0cb4.

The code to support journal-less ext4 operation added a BUG to ext4_bmap() which fired if there was no journal and the EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit was set in the i_state field. This caused running the filefrag program (which uses the FIMBAP ioctl) to trigger a BUG(). The EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit is only used for ext4_bmap(), and it's harmless for the bit to be set. We could add a check in __ext4_journalled_writepage() and ext4_journalled_write_end() to only set the EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit if the journal is present, but that adds an extra test and jump instruction. It's easier to simply remove the BUG check. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12568Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@kernel.org

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.

Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and replication) while it is mounted. In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature and it would be used to get the consistent backup. If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it without a commercial filesystem. So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature. I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps. 1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl. 2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot with the storage device's feature. 3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl. 4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume or the snapshot. This patch: VFS: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they can return an error. Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion. ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed, and unlockfs always returns 0. reiserfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

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.

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).

Pages in the page cache belonging to ext4 data files are released via the ext4_releasepage() function specified in the ext4 inode's address_space_ops. However, metadata blocks (such as indirect blocks, directory blocks, etc) are managed via the block device address_space_ops, and they can not be released by try_to_free_buffers() if they have a journal head attached to them. To address this, we supply a release_metadata function which calls jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() function to free the metadata, and which is called by the block device's blkdev_releasepage() function.
