Add an ioctl which forces all of the delay allocated blocks to be allocated. This also provides a function ext4_alloc_da_blocks() which will be used by the following commits to force files to be fully allocated to preserve application-expected ext3 behaviour.

Struct mpage_da_data and mpage_add_bh_to_extent() use a fake struct buffer_head which is 104 bytes on an x86_64 system, but only use 24 bytes of the structure. On systems that use a spinlock for atomic_t, the stack savings will be even greater. It turns out that using a fake struct buffer_head doesn't even save that much code, and it makes the code more confusing since it's not used as a "real" buffer head. So just store pass b_size and b_state in mpage_add_bh_to_extent(), and store b_size, b_state, and b_block_nr in the mpage_da_data structure. Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

ext4_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to report errors to NFS properly. However, in ext4_lookup(), this -ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to a misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the part of the admin. The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls -l said link. This patch thus changes ext4_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE from ext4_iget(), as ext4 does for other filesystem metadata corruption; and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is detected.

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: debugfs: stat /home/tytso/Maildir/cur Inode: 1844562 Type: directory Mode: 0700 Flags: 0x81000 Generation: 1132745781 Version: 0x00000000:0000ad71 User: 15806 Group: 15806 Size: 1060864 File ACL: 0 Directory ACL: 0 Links: 2 Blockcount: 2072 Fragment: Address: 0 Number: 0 Size: 0 ctime: 0x499c0ff4:164961f4 -- Wed Feb 18 08:41:08 2009 atime: 0x499c0ff4:00000000 -- Wed Feb 18 08:41:08 2009 mtime: 0x49957f51:00000000 -- Fri Feb 13 09:10:25 2009 crtime: 0x499c0f57:00d51440 -- Wed Feb 18 08:38:31 2009 Size of extra inode fields: 28 BLOCKS: (0):7348651, (1-258):7348654-7348911 TOTAL: 259 Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

Tighten that to disallow TOPDIR being set on non-directories and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set on non-regular file, non-directories.

As spotted by kmemtrace, struct ext4_sb_info is 17664 bytes on 64-bit which makes it a very bad fit for SLAB allocators. The culprit of the wasted memory is ->s_blockgroup_lock which can be as big as 16 KB when NR_CPUS >= 32. To fix that, allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock, which fits nicely in a order 2 page in the worst case, separately. This shinks down struct ext4_sb_info enough to fit a 2 KB slab cache so now we allocate 16 KB + 2 KB instead of 32 KB saving 14 KB of memory.

The rec_len field in the directory entry is 16 bits, so to encode blocksizes larger than 64k becomes problematic. This patch allows us to supprot block sizes up to 256k, by using the low 2 bits to extend the range of rec_len to 2**18-1 (since valid rec_len sizes must be a multiple of 4). We use the convention that a rec_len of 0 or 65535 means the filesystem block size, for compatibility with older kernels. It's unlikely we'll see VM pages of up to 256k, but at some point we might find that the Linux VM has been enhanced to support filesystem block sizes > than the VM page size, at which point it might be useful for some applications to allow very large filesystem block sizes.

The static function ext4_group_used_meta_blocks() only has one caller, who already has access to the block group's group descriptor. So it's better to have ext4_init_block_bitmap() pass the group descriptor to ext4_group_used_meta_blocks(), so it doesn't need to call ext4_group_desc(). Previously this function did not check if ext4_group_desc() returned NULL due to an error, potentially causing a kernel OOPS report. This avoids the issue entirely.

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...

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.

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.

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.
