      ext4: Turn off multiple page-io submission by default · 1449032b
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      Jon Nelson has found a test case which causes postgresql to fail with
      the error:
      
      psql:t.sql:4: ERROR: invalid page header in block 38269 of relation base/16384/16581
      
      Under memory pressure, it looks like part of a file can end up getting
      replaced by zero's.  Until we can figure out the cause, we'll roll
      back the change and use block_write_full_page() instead of
      ext4_bio_write_page().  The new, more efficient writing function can
      be used via the mount option mblk_io_submit, so we can test and fix
      the new page I/O code.
      
      To reproduce the problem, install postgres 8.4 or 9.0, and pin enough
      memory such that the system just at the end of triggering writeback
      before running the following sql script:
      
      begin;
      create temporary table foo as select x as a, ARRAY[x] as b FROM
      generate_series(1, 10000000 ) AS x;
      create index foo_a_idx on foo (a);
      create index foo_b_idx on foo USING GIN (b);
      rollback;
      
      If the temporary table is created on a hard drive partition which is
      encrypted using dm_crypt, then under memory pressure, approximately
      30-40% of the time, pgsql will issue the above failure.
      
      This patch should fix this problem, and the problem will come back if
      the file system is mounted with the mblk_io_submit mount option.

      ext4: ext4_fill_super shouldn't return 0 on corruption · 5a9ae68a
      Darrick J. Wong 提交于
      At the start of ext4_fill_super, ret is set to -EINVAL, and any failure path
      out of that function returns ret.  However, the generic_check_addressable
      clause sets ret = 0 (if it passes), which means that a subsequent failure (e.g.
      a group checksum error) returns 0 even though the mount should fail.  This
      causes vfs_kern_mount in turn to think that the mount succeeded, leading to an
      oops.
      
      A simple fix is to avoid using ret for the generic_check_addressable check,
      which was last changed in commit 30ca22c7.

      ext4: handle writeback of inodes which are being freed · f7ad6d2e
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      The following BUG can occur when an inode which is getting freed when
      it still has dirty pages outstanding, and it gets deleted (in this
      because it was the target of a rename).  In ordered mode, we need to
      make sure the data pages are written just in case we crash before the
      rename (or unlink) is committed.  If the inode is being freed then
      when we try to igrab the inode, we end up tripping the BUG_ON at
      fs/ext4/page-io.c:146.
      
      To solve this problem, we need to keep track of the number of io
      callbacks which are pending, and avoid destroying the inode until they
      have all been completed.  That way we don't have to bump the inode
      count to keep the inode from being destroyed; an approach which
      doesn't work because the count could have already been dropped down to
      zero before the inode writeback has started (at which point we're not
      allowed to bump the count back up to 1, since it's already started
      getting freed).
      
      Thanks to Dave Chinner for suggesting this approach, which is also
      used by XFS.

      ext4: fix kernel oops if the journal superblock has a non-zero j_errno · 7f93cff9
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      Commit 84061e07 fixed an accounting bug only to introduce the
      possibility of a kernel OOPS if the journal has a non-zero j_errno
      field indicating that the file system had detected a fs inconsistency.
      After the journal replay, if the journal superblock indicates that the
      file system has an error, this indication is transfered to the file
      system and then ext4_commit_super() is called to write this to the
      disk.
      
      But since the percpu counters are now initialized after the journal
      replay, the call to ext4_commit_super() will cause a kernel oops since
      it needs to use the percpu counters the ext4 superblock structure.
      
      The fix is to skip setting the ext4 free block and free inode fields
      if the percpu counter has not been set.
      
      Thanks to Ken Sumrall for reporting and analyzing the root causes of
      this bug.

      ext4: Add batched discard support for ext4 · 7360d173
      Lukas Czerner 提交于
      Walk through allocation groups and trim all free extents. It can be
      invoked through FITRIM ioctl on the file system. The main idea is to
      provide a way to trim the whole file system if needed, since some SSD's
      may suffer from performance loss after the whole device was filled (it
      does not mean that fs is full!).
      
      It search for free extents in allocation groups specified by Byte range
      start -> start+len. When the free extent is within this range, blocks
      are marked as used and then trimmed. Afterwards these blocks are marked
      as free in per-group bitmap.
      
      Since fstrim is a long operation it is good to have an ability to
      interrupt it by a signal. This was added by Dmitry Monakhov.

      ext4: add support for lazy inode table initialization · bfff6873
      Lukas Czerner 提交于
      When the lazy_itable_init extended option is passed to mke2fs, it
      considerably speeds up filesystem creation because inode tables are
      not zeroed out.  The fact that parts of the inode table are
      uninitialized is not a problem so long as the block group descriptors,
      which contain information regarding how much of the inode table has
      been initialized, has not been corrupted However, if the block group
      checksums are not valid, e2fsck must scan the entire inode table, and
      the the old, uninitialized data could potentially cause e2fsck to
      report false problems.
      
      Hence, it is important for the inode tables to be initialized as soon
      as possble.  This commit adds this feature so that mke2fs can safely
      use the lazy inode table initialization feature to speed up formatting
      file systems.
      
      This is done via a new new kernel thread called ext4lazyinit, which is
      created on demand and destroyed, when it is no longer needed.  There
      is only one thread for all ext4 filesystems in the system. When the
      first filesystem with inititable mount option is mounted, ext4lazyinit
      thread is created, then the filesystem can register its request in the
      request list.
      
      This thread then walks through the list of requests picking up
      scheduled requests and invoking ext4_init_inode_table(). Next schedule
      time for the request is computed by multiplying the time it took to
      zero out last inode table with wait multiplier, which can be set with
      the (init_itable=n) mount option (default is 10).  We are doing
      this so we do not take the whole I/O bandwidth. When the thread is no
      longer necessary (request list is empty) it frees the appropriate
      structures and exits (and can be created later later by another
      filesystem).
      
      We do not disturb regular inode allocations in any way, it just do not
      care whether the inode table is, or is not zeroed. But when zeroing, we
      have to skip used inodes, obviously. Also we should prevent new inode
      allocations from the group, while zeroing is on the way. For that we
      take write alloc_sem lock in ext4_init_inode_table() and read alloc_sem
      in the ext4_claim_inode, so when we are unlucky and allocator hits the
      group which is currently being zeroed, it just has to wait.
      
      This can be suppresed using the mount option no_init_itable.

      BKL: Explicitly add BKL around get_sb/fill_super · db719222
      Jan Blunck 提交于
      This patch is a preparation necessary to remove the BKL from do_new_mount().
      It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around
      get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL.
      
      I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside
      do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL
      any more.
      
      do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs
      and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called
      from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount()
      through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through
      afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems
      follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified
      get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given
      fill_super function.
      
      Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the
      low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.
      
      [arnd: do not add the BKL to those file systems that already
             don't use it elsewhere]
