Ted and Namjae have reported that truncated pages don't get timely
reclaimed after being truncated in data=journal mode. The following test
triggers the issue easily:

for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
	pwrite(fd, buf, 1024*1024, 0);
	fsync(fd);
	fsync(fd);
	ftruncate(fd, 0);
}

The reason is that journal_unmap_buffer() finds that truncated buffers
are not journalled (jh->b_transaction == NULL), they are part of
checkpoint list of a transaction (jh->b_cp_transaction != NULL) and have
been already written out (!buffer_dirty(bh)). We clean such buffers but
we leave them in the checkpoint list. Since checkpoint transaction holds
a reference to the journal head, these buffers cannot be released until
the checkpoint transaction is cleaned up. And at that point we don't
call release_buffer_page() anymore so pages detached from mapping are
lingering in the system waiting for reclaim to find them and free them.

Fix the problem by removing buffers from transaction checkpoint lists
when journal_unmap_buffer() finds out they don't have to be there
anymore.

Currently there is no limitation on number of reserved credits we can
ask for. If we ask for more reserved credits than 1/2 of maximum
transaction size, or if total number of credits exceeds the maximum
transaction size per operation (which is currently only possible with
the former) we will spin forever in start_this_handle().

Fix this by adding this limitation at the start of start_this_handle().

This patch also removes the credit limitation 1/2 of maximum transaction
size, since we really only want to limit the number of reserved credits.
There is not much point to limit the credits if there is still space in
the journal.

This accidentally also fixes the online resize, where due to the
limitation of the journal credits we're unable to grow file systems with
1k block size and size between 16M and 32M. It has been partially fixed
by 2c869b26, but not entirely.

jbd2_journal_get_write_access() and jbd2_journal_get_create_access() are
frequently called for buffers that are already part of the running
transaction - most frequently it is the case for bitmaps, inode table
blocks, and superblock. Since in such cases we have nothing to do, it is
unfortunate we still grab reference to journal head, lock the bh, lock
bh_state only to find out there's nothing to do.

Improving this is a bit subtle though since until we find out journal
head is attached to the running transaction, it can disappear from under
us because checkpointing / commit decided it's no longer needed. We deal
with this by protecting journal_head slab with RCU. We still have to be
careful about journal head being freed & reallocated within slab and
about exposing journal head in consistent state (in particular
b_modified and b_frozen_data must be in correct state before we allow
user to touch the buffer).

This basically reverts 47def826 (jbd2: Remove __GFP_NOFAIL from jbd2
layer). The deprecation of __GFP_NOFAIL was a bad choice because it led
to open coding the endless loop around the allocator rather than
removing the dependency on the non failing allocation. So the
deprecation was a clear failure and the reality tells us that
__GFP_NOFAIL is not even close to go away.

It is still true that __GFP_NOFAIL allocations are generally discouraged
and new uses should be evaluated and an alternative (pre-allocations or
reservations) should be considered but it doesn't make any sense to lie
the allocator about the requirements. Allocator can take steps to help
making a progress if it knows the requirements.

Currently when journal restart fails, we'll have the h_transaction of
the handle set to NULL to indicate that the handle has been effectively
aborted. We handle this situation quietly in the jbd2_journal_stop() and just
free the handle and exit because everything else has been done before we
attempted (and failed) to restart the journal.

Unfortunately there are a number of problems with that approach
introduced with commit

41a5b913 "jbd2: invalidate handle if jbd2_journal_restart()
fails"

First of all in ext4 jbd2_journal_stop() will be called through
__ext4_journal_stop() where we would try to get a hold of the superblock
by dereferencing h_transaction which in this case would lead to NULL
pointer dereference and crash.

In addition we're going to free the handle regardless of the refcount
which is bad as well, because others up the call chain will still
reference the handle so we might potentially reference already freed
memory.

Moreover it's expected that we'll get aborted handle as well as detached
handle in some of the journalling function as the error propagates up
the stack, so it's unnecessary to call WARN_ON every time we get
detached handle.

And finally we might leak some memory by forgetting to free reserved
handle in jbd2_journal_stop() in the case where handle was detached from
the transaction (h_transaction is NULL).

Fix the NULL pointer dereference in __ext4_journal_stop() by just
calling jbd2_journal_stop() quietly as suggested by Jan Kara. Also fix
the potential memory leak in jbd2_journal_stop() and use proper
handle refcounting before we attempt to free it to avoid use-after-free
issues.

And finally remove all WARN_ON(!transaction) from the code so that we do
not get random traces when something goes wrong because when journal
restart fails we will get to some of those functions.

The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().

So:
 Rename wait_on_bit and        wait_on_bit_lock to
        wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
 to make it explicit that they need an action function.

 Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
 which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
 a standard one.
 The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
 based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
 function.

 All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
 can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
 action functions have been discarded.
 wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
 event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
 interpolate their own error code as appropriate.

The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
"uninterruptible"

The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.

A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack.  So
the distinction will still be visible, only with different
function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
gfs2/glock.c case).

Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS.  CIFS also now
uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
schedule call as NFS.

If a handle runs out of space, we currently stop the kernel with a BUG
in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata().  This makes it hard to figure out
what might be going on.  So return an error of ENOSPC, so we can let
the file system layer figure out what is going on, to make it more
likely we can get useful debugging information).  This should make it
easier to debug problems such as the one which was reported by:

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44731

The only two callers of this function are ext4_handle_dirty_metadata()
and ocfs2_journal_dirty().  The ocfs2 function will trigger a
BUG_ON(), which means there will be no change in behavior.  The ext4
function will call ext4_error_inode() which will print the useful
debugging information and then handle the situation using ext4's error
handling mechanisms (i.e., which might mean halting the kernel or
remounting the file system read-only).

Also, since both file systems already call WARN_ON(), drop the WARN_ON
from jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() to avoid two stack traces from
being displayed.

Once we decrement transaction->t_updates, if this is the last handle
holding the transaction from closing, and once we release the
t_handle_lock spinlock, it's possible for the transaction to commit
and be released.  In practice with normal kernels, this probably won't
happen, since the commit happens in a separate kernel thread and it's
unlikely this could all happen within the space of a few CPU cycles.

On the other hand, with a real-time kernel, this could potentially
happen, so save the tid found in transaction->t_tid before we release
t_handle_lock.  It would require an insane configuration, such as one
where the jbd2 thread was set to a very high real-time priority,
perhaps because a high priority real-time thread is trying to read or
write to a file system.  But some people who use real-time kernels
have been known to do insane things, including controlling

In some cases we cannot start a transaction because of locking

handy either because we could block transaction commit for too long.
Transaction reservation is designed to solve these issues.  It
reserves a handle with given number of credits in the journal and the
handle can be later attached to the running transaction without
blocking on commit or checkpointing.  Reserved handles do not block
transaction commit in any way, they only reduce maximum size of the

Currently when we add a buffer to a transaction, we wait until the
buffer is removed from BJ_Shadow list (so that we prevent any changes
to the buffer that is just written to the journal).  This can take
unnecessarily long as a lot happens between the time the buffer is
submitted to the journal and the time when we remove the buffer from
BJ_Shadow list.  (e.g.  We wait for all data buffers in the
transaction, we issue a cache flush, etc.)  Also this creates a
dependency of do_get_write_access() on transaction commit (namely
waiting for data IO to complete) which we want to avoid when
implementing transaction reservation.

So we modify commit code to set new BH_Shadow flag when temporary
shadowing buffer is created and we clear that flag once IO on that
buffer is complete.  This allows do_get_write_access() to wait only
for BH_Shadow bit and thus removes the dependency on data IO
completion.

Handles which stay open a long time are problematic when it comes time
to close down a transaction so it can be committed.  These tracepoints
will help us determine which ones are the problematic ones, and to
validate whether changes makes things better or worse.

Track the delay between when we first request that the commit begin
and when it actually begins, so we can see how much of a gap exists.
In theory, this should just be the remaining scheduling quantuum of
the thread which requested the commit (assuming it was not a
synchronous operation which triggered the commit request) plus
scheduling overhead; however, it's possible that real time processes
might get in the way of letting the kjournald thread from executing.

We cannot wait for transaction commit in journal_unmap_buffer()
because we hold page lock which ranks below transaction start.  We
solve the issue by bailing out of journal_unmap_buffer() and
jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() with -EBUSY.  Caller is then responsible
for waiting for transaction commit to finish and try invalidation
again. Since the issue can happen only for page stradding i_size, it
is simple enough to manually call jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() for
such page from ext4_setattr(), check the return value and wait if
necessary.

The following race is possible between start_this_handle() and someone
calling jbd2_journal_flush().

Process A                              Process B
start_this_handle().
  if (journal->j_barrier_count) # false
  if (!journal->j_running_transaction) { #true
    read_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock);
                                       jbd2_journal_lock_updates()
                                       jbd2_journal_flush()
                                         write_lock(&journal->j_state_lock);
                                         if (journal->j_running_transaction) {
                                           # false
                                         ... wait for committing trans ...
                                         write_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock);
    ...
    write_lock(&journal->j_state_lock);
    if (!journal->j_running_transaction) { # true
      jbd2_get_transaction(journal, new_transaction);
    write_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock);
    goto repeat; # eventually blocks on j_barrier_count > 0
                                         ...
                                         J_ASSERT(!journal->j_running_transaction);
                                           # fails

We fix the race by rechecking j_barrier_count after reacquiring j_state_lock
in exclusive mode.
