      ext4: improve handling of conflicting mount options · 56889787
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      If the user explicitly specifies conflicting mount options for
      delalloc or dioread_nolock and data=journal, fail the mount, instead
      of printing a warning and continuing (since many user's won't look at
      dmesg and notice the warning).
      
      Also, print a single warning that data=journal implies that delayed
      allocation is not on by default (since it's not supported), and
      furthermore that O_DIRECT is not supported.  Improve the text in
      Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt so this is clear there as well.
      
      Similarly, if the dioread_nolock mount option is specified when the
      file system block size != PAGE_SIZE, fail the mount instead of
      printing a warning message and ignoring the mount option.

      ext4: Add new ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers routines · 4e96b2db
      Allison Henderson 提交于
      This patch adds two new routines: ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers
      and ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.
      
      The ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers routine is a wrapper
      function to ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.
      The wrapper function locks the page and passes it to
      ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.
      Calling functions that already have the page locked can call
      ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock directly.
      
      The ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock function
      zeros a specified range in a page, and unmaps the
      corresponding buffer heads.  Only block aligned regions of the
      page will have their buffer heads unmapped.  Unblock aligned regions
      will be mapped if needed so that they can be updated with the
      partial zero out.  This function is meant to
      be used to update a page and its buffer heads to be zeroed
      and unmapped when the corresponding blocks have been released
      or will be released.
      
      This routine is used in the following scenarios:
      * A hole is punched and the non page aligned regions
        of the head and tail of the hole need to be discarded
      
      * The file is truncated and the partial page beyond EOF needs
        to be discarded
      
      * The end of a hole is in the same page as EOF.  After the
        page is flushed, the partial page beyond EOF needs to be
        discarded.
      
      * A write operation begins or ends inside a hole and the partial
        page appearing before or after the write needs to be discarded
      
      * A write operation extends EOF and the partial page beyond EOF
        needs to be discarded
      
      This function takes a flag EXT4_DISCARD_PARTIAL_PG_ZERO_UNMAPPED
      which is used when a write operation begins or ends in a hole.
      When the EXT4_DISCARD_PARTIAL_PG_ZERO_UNMAPPED flag is used, only
      buffer heads that are already unmapped will have the corresponding
      regions of the page zeroed.

      ext4: remove i_mutex lock in ext4_evict_inode to fix lockdep complaining · 8c0bec21
      Jiaying Zhang 提交于
      The i_mutex lock and flush_completed_IO() added by commit 2581fdc8
      in ext4_evict_inode() causes lockdep complaining about potential
      deadlock in several places.  In most/all of these LOCKDEP complaints
      it looks like it's a false positive, since many of the potential
      circular locking cases can't take place by the time the
      ext4_evict_inode() is called; but since at the very least it may mask
      real problems, we need to address this.
      
      This change removes the flush_completed_IO() and i_mutex lock in
      ext4_evict_inode().  Instead, we take a different approach to resolve
      the software lockup that commit 2581fdc8 intends to fix.  Rather
      than having ext4-dio-unwritten thread wait for grabing the i_mutex
      lock of an inode, we use mutex_trylock() instead, and simply requeue
      the work item if we fail to grab the inode's i_mutex lock.
      
      This should speed up work queue processing in general and also
      prevents the following deadlock scenario: During page fault,
      shrink_icache_memory is called that in turn evicts another inode B.
      Inode B has some pending io_end work so it calls ext4_ioend_wait()
      that waits for inode B's i_ioend_count to become zero.  However, inode
      B's ioend work was queued behind some of inode A's ioend work on the
      same cpu's ext4-dio-unwritten workqueue.  As the ext4-dio-unwritten
      thread on that cpu is processing inode A's ioend work, it tries to
      grab inode A's i_mutex lock.  Since the i_mutex lock of inode A is
      still hold before the page fault happened, we enter a deadlock.

      fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers · 02c24a82
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
      in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
      the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
      file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
      ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
      sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each

      ext4: Speed up FITRIM by recording flags in ext4_group_info · 3d56b8d2
      Tao Ma 提交于
      In ext4, when FITRIM is called every time, we iterate all the
      groups and do trim one by one. It is a bit time wasting if the
      group has been trimmed and there is no change since the last
      trim.
      
      So this patch adds a new flag in ext4_group_info->bb_state to
      indicate that the group has been trimmed, and it will be cleared
      if some blocks is freed(in release_blocks_on_commit). Another
      trim_minlen is added in ext4_sb_info to record the last minlen
      we use to trim the volume, so that if the caller provide a small
      one, we will go on the trim regardless of the bb_state.
      
      A simple test with my intel x25m ssd:
      df -h shows:
      /dev/sdb1              40G   21G   17G  56% /mnt/ext4
      Block size:               4096
      
      run the FITRIM with the following parameter:
      range.start = 0;
      range.len = UINT64_MAX;
      range.minlen = 1048576;
      
      without the patch:

      A big improvement for the 2nd and 3rd run.

      ext4: fix i_blocks/quota accounting when extent insertion fails · 7132de74
      Maxim Patlasov 提交于
      The current implementation of ext4_free_blocks() always calls
      dquot_free_block This looks quite sensible in the most cases: blocks
      to be freed are associated with inode and were accounted in quota and
      i_blocks some time ago.
      
      However, there is a case when blocks to free were not accounted by the
      time calling ext4_free_blocks() yet:
      
      1. delalloc is on, write_begin pre-allocated some space in quota
      2. write-back happens, ext4 allocates some blocks in ext4_ext_map_blocks()
      3. then ext4_ext_map_blocks() gets an error (e.g.  ENOSPC) from
         ext4_ext_insert_extent() and calls ext4_free_blocks().
      
      In this scenario, ext4_free_blocks() calls dquot_free_block() who, in
      turn, decrements i_blocks for blocks which were not accounted yet (due
      to delalloc) After clean umount, e2fsck reports something like:
      
      > Inode 21, i_blocks is 5080, should be 5128.  Fix<y>?
      because i_blocks was erroneously decremented as explained above.
      
      The patch fixes the problem by passing the new flag
      EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_NO_QUOT_UPDATE to ext4_free_blocks(), to request
      that the dquot_free_block() call be skipped.

      ext4: do not normalize block requests from fallocate() · 556b27ab
      Vivek Haldar 提交于
      Currently, an fallocate request of size slightly larger than a power of
      2 is turned into two block requests, each a power of 2, with the extra
      blocks pre-allocated for future use. When an application calls
      fallocate, it already has an idea about how large the file may grow so
      there is usually little benefit to reserve extra blocks on the
      preallocation list. This reduces disk fragmentation.
      
      Tested: fsstress. Also verified manually that fallocat'ed files are
      contiguously laid out with this change (whereas without it they begin at
      power-of-2 boundaries, leaving blocks in between). CPU usage of
      fallocate is not appreciably higher.  In a tight fallocate loop, CPU
      usage hovers between 5%-8% with this change, and 5%-7% without it.
      
      Using a simulated file system aging program which the file system to
      70%, the percentage of free extents larger than 8MB (as measured by
      e2freefrag) increased from 38.8% without this change, to 69.4% with
      this change.

      ext4: enable "punch hole" functionality · a4bb6b64
      Allison Henderson 提交于
      This patch adds new routines: "ext4_punch_hole" "ext4_ext_punch_hole"
      and "ext4_ext_check_cache"
      
      fallocate has been modified to call ext4_punch_hole when the punch hole
      flag is passed.  At the moment, we only support punching holes in
      extents, so this routine is pretty much a wrapper for the ext4_ext_punch_hole
      routine.
      
      The ext4_ext_punch_hole routine first completes all outstanding writes
      with the associated pages, and then releases them.  The unblock
      aligned data is zeroed, and all blocks in between are punched out.
      
      The ext4_ext_check_cache routine is very similar to ext4_ext_in_cache
      except it accepts a ext4_ext_cache parameter instead of a ext4_extent
      parameter.  This routine is used by ext4_ext_punch_hole to check and
      see if a block in a hole that has been cached.  The ext4_ext_cache
      parameter is necessary because the members ext4_extent structure are
      not large enough to hold a 32 bit value.  The existing
      ext4_ext_in_cache routine has become a wrapper to this new function.
