      ext4: Use bitops to read/modify EXT4_I(inode)->i_state · 19f5fb7a
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      At several places we modify EXT4_I(inode)->i_state without holding
      i_mutex (ext4_release_file, ext4_bmap, ext4_journalled_writepage,
      ext4_do_update_inode, ...). These modifications are racy and we can
      lose updates to i_state. So convert handling of i_state to use bitops
      which are atomic.

      ext4: teach the inode allocator to use a goal inode number · 11013911
      Andreas Dilger 提交于
      Enhance the inode allocator to take a goal inode number as a
      paremeter; if it is specified, it takes precedence over Orlov or
      parent directory inode allocation algorithms.
      
      The extents migration function uses the goal inode number so that the
      extent trees allocated the migration function use the correct flex_bg.
      In the future, the goal inode functionality will also be used to
      allocate an adjacent inode for the extended attributes.
      
      Also, for testing purposes the goal inode number can be specified via
      /sys/fs/{dev}/inode_goal.  This can be useful for testing inode
      allocation beyond 2^32 blocks on very large filesystems.

      ext4: Avoid races caused by on-line resizing and SMP memory reordering · 8df9675f
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      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.

      ext4: New inode/block allocation algorithms for flex_bg filesystems · a4912123
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      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:

      ext4: Add fallback for find_group_flex · 05bf9e83
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      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.

      ext4: Remove "extents" mount option · 83982b6f
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      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.

      Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于
      We need to make sure we update the inode bitmap and clear
      EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT flag with sb_bgl_lock held, since
      ext4_read_inode_bitmap() looks at EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT to decide
      whether to initialize the inode bitmap each time it is called.
      (introduced by commit c806e68f.)
      
      ext4_read_inode_bitmap does:
      
      spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(EXT4_SB(sb), block_group));
      if (desc->bg_flags & cpu_to_le16(EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT)) {
      	ext4_init_inode_bitmap(sb, bh, block_group, desc);
      
      and ext4_new_inode does
      if (!ext4_set_bit_atomic(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, group),
                         ino, inode_bitmap_bh->b_data))
      		   ......
      		   ...
      spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, group));
      
      gdp->bg_flags &= cpu_to_le16(~EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT);
      i.e., on allocation we update the bitmap then we take the sb_bgl_lock
      and clear the EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT flag. What can happen is a
      parallel ext4_read_inode_bitmap can zero out the bitmap in between
      the above ext4_set_bit_atomic and spin_lock(sb_bg_lock..)

      ext4: Allow ext4 to run without a journal · 0390131b
      Frank Mayhar 提交于
      A few weeks ago I posted a patch for discussion that allowed ext4 to run
      without a journal.  Since that time I've integrated the excellent
      comments from Andreas and fixed several serious bugs.  We're currently
      running with this patch and generating some performance numbers against
      both ext2 (with backported reservations code) and ext4 with and without
      a journal.  It just so happens that running without a journal is
      slightly faster for most everything.
      
      We did
      	iozone -T -t 4 s 2g -r 256k -T -I -i0 -i1 -i2
      
      which creates 4 threads, each of which create and do reads and writes on
      a 2G file, with a buffer size of 256K, using O_DIRECT for all file opens
      to bypass the page cache.  Results:
      
                           ext2        ext4, default   ext4, no journal
        initial writes   13.0 MB/s        15.4 MB/s          15.7 MB/s
        rewrites         13.1 MB/s        15.6 MB/s          15.9 MB/s
        reads            15.2 MB/s        16.9 MB/s          17.2 MB/s
        re-reads         15.3 MB/s        16.9 MB/s          17.2 MB/s
        random readers    5.6 MB/s         5.6 MB/s           5.7 MB/s

      ext4: fix initialization of UNINIT bitmap blocks · c806e68f
      Frederic Bohe 提交于
      This fixes a bug which caused on-line resizing of filesystems with a
      1k blocksize to fail.  The root cause of this bug was the fact that if
      an uninitalized bitmap block gets read in by userspace (which
      e2fsprogs does try to avoid, but can happen when the blocksize is less
      than the pagesize and an adjacent blocks is read into memory)
      ext4_read_block_bitmap() was erroneously depending on the buffer
      uptodate flag to decide whether it needed to initialize the bitmap
      block in memory --- i.e., to set the standard set of blocks in use by
      a block group (superblock, bitmaps, inode table, etc.).  Essentially,
      ext4_read_block_bitmap() assumed it was the only routine that might
      try to read a block containing a block bitmap, which is simply not
      true.  
      
      To fix this, ext4_read_block_bitmap() and ext4_read_inode_bitmap()
      must always initialize uninitialized bitmap blocks.  Once a block or
      inode is allocated out of that bitmap, it will be marked as
      initialized in the block group descriptor, so in general this won't
      result any extra unnecessary work.

      ext4: Fix bug where we return ENOSPC even though we have plenty of inodes · c001077f
      Eric Sandeen 提交于
      The find_group_flex() function starts with best_flex as the
      parent_fbg_group, which happens to have 0 inodes free.  Some of the
      flex groups searched have free blocks and free inodes, but the
      flex_freeb_ratio is < 10, so they're skipped.  Then when a group is
      compared to the current "best" flex group, it does not have more free
      blocks than "best", so it is skipped as well.
      
      This continues until no flex group with free inodes is found which has
      a proper ratio or which has more free blocks than the "best" group,
      and we're left with a "best" group that has 0 inodes free, and we
      return -ENOSPC.
      
      We fix this by changing the logic so that if the current "best" flex
      group has no inodes free, and the current one does have room, it is
      promoted to the next "best."
