      ext4: delayed allocation i_blocks fix for stat · 3e3398a0
      由 Mingming Cao 提交于 
      Right now i_blocks is not getting updated until the blocks are actually
allocaed on disk.  This means with delayed allocation, right after files
are copied, "ls -sF" shoes the file as taking 0 blocks on disk.  "du"
also shows the files taking zero space, which is highly confusing to the
user.

Since delayed allocation already keeps track of per-inode total
number of blocks that are subject to delayed allocation, this patch fix
this by using that to adjust the value returned by stat(2). When real
block allocation is done, the i_blocks will get updated. Since the
reserved blocks for delayed allocation will be decreased, this will be
keep value returned by stat(2) consistent.

      ext4: fix delalloc i_disksize early update issue · 632eaeab
      由 Mingming Cao 提交于 
      Ext4_da_write_end() used walk_page_buffers() with a callback function of
ext4_bh_unmapped_or_delay() to check if it extended the file size
without allocating any blocks (since in this case i_disksize needs to be
updated).  However, this is didn't work proprely because the buffer head
has not been marked dirty yet --- this is done later in
block_commit_write() --- which caused ext4_bh_unmapped_or_delay() to
always return false.

In addition, walk_page_buffers() checks all of the buffer heads covering
the page, and the only buffer_head that should be checked is the one
covering the end of the write.  Otherwise, given a 1k blocksize
filesystem and a 4k page size, the buffer head covering the first 1k
stripe of the file could be unmapped (because it was a sparse file), and
the second or third buffer_head covering that page could be mapped, and
using walk_page_buffers() would fail in this case since it would stop at
the first unmapped buffer_head and return true.

The core problem is that walk_page_buffers() was intended to do work in
a callback function, and a non-zero return value indicated a failure,
which termined the walk of the buffer heads covering the page.  It was
not intended to be used with a boolean function, such as
ext4_bh_unmapped_or_delay().

Add addtional fix from Aneesh to protect i_disksize update rave with truncate.

      ext4: Handle page without buffers in ext4_*_writepage() · f0e6c985
      由 Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于 
      It can happen that buffers are removed from the page before it gets
marked dirty and then is passed to writepage().  In writepage() we just
initialize the buffers and check whether they are mapped and non
delay. If they are mapped and non delay we write the page. Otherwise we
mark them dirty.  With this change we don't do block allocation at all
in ext4_*_write_page.

writepage() can get called under many condition and with a locking order
of journal_start -> lock_page, we should not try to allocate blocks in
writepage() which get called after taking page lock.  writepage() can
get called via shrink_page_list even with a journal handle which was
created for doing inode update.  For example when doing
ext4_da_write_begin we create a journal handle with credit 1 expecting a
i_disksize update for the inode. But ext4_da_write_begin can cause
shrink_page_list via _grab_page_cache. So having a valid handle via
ext4_journal_current_handle is not a guarantee that we can use the
handle for block allocation in writepage, since we shouldn't be using
credits that had been reserved for other updates.  That it could result
in we running out of credits when we update inodes.

      ext4: Add ordered mode support for delalloc · cd1aac32
      由 Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于 
      This provides a new ordered mode implementation which gets rid of using
buffer heads to enforce the ordering between metadata change with the
related data chage.  Instead, in the new ordering mode, it keeps track
of all of the inodes touched by each transaction on a list, and when
that transaction is committed, it flushes all of the dirty pages for
those inodes.  In addition, the new ordered mode reverses the lock
ordering of the page lock and transaction lock, which provides easier
support for delayed allocation.

      ext4: Invert lock ordering of page_lock and transaction start in delalloc · 61628a3f
      由 Mingming Cao 提交于 
      With the reverse locking, we need to start a transation before taking
the page lock, so in ext4_da_writepages() we need to break the write-out
into chunks, and restart the journal for each chunck to ensure the
write-out fits in a single transaction.

Updated patch from Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
which fixes delalloc sync hang with journal lock inversion, and address
the performance regression issue.

      mm: Add range_cont mode for writeback · 06d6cf69
      由 Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于 
      Filesystems like ext4 needs to start a new transaction in
the writepages for block allocation. This happens with delayed
allocation and there is limit to how many credits we can request
from the journal layer. So we call write_cache_pages multiple
times with wbc->nr_to_write set to the maximum possible value
limitted by the max journal credits available.

Add a new mode to writeback that enables us to handle this
behaviour. In the new mode we update the wbc->range_start
to point to the new offset to be written. Next call to
call to write_cache_pages will start writeout from specified
range_start offset. In the new mode we also limit writing
to the specified wbc->range_end.

      ext4: delayed allocation ENOSPC handling · d2a17637
      由 Mingming Cao 提交于 
      This patch does block reservation for delayed
allocation, to avoid ENOSPC later at page flush time.

Blocks(data and metadata) are reserved at da_write_begin()
time, the freeblocks counter is updated by then, and the number of
reserved blocks is store in per inode counter.
        
At the writepage time, the unused reserved meta blocks are returned
back. At unlink/truncate time, reserved blocks are properly released.

Updated fix from  Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
to fix the oldallocator block reservation accounting with delalloc, added
lock to guard the counters and also fix the reservation for meta blocks.

      jbd2: fix race between jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() and jbd2 commit transaction · 530576bb
      由 Mingming Cao 提交于 
      journal_try_to_free_buffers() could race with jbd commit transaction
when the later is holding the buffer reference while waiting for the
data buffer to flush to disk. If the caller of
journal_try_to_free_buffers() request tries hard to release the buffers,
it will treat the failure as error and return back to the caller. We
have seen the directo IO failed due to this race.  Some of the caller of
releasepage() also expecting the buffer to be dropped when passed with
GFP_KERNEL mask to the releasepage()->journal_try_to_free_buffers().

With this patch, if the caller is passing the GFP_KERNEL to indicating
this call could wait, in case of try_to_free_buffers() failed, let's
waiting for journal_commit_transaction() to finish commit the current
committing transaction , then try to free those buffers again with
journal locked.

      ext4: New inode allocation for FLEX_BG meta-data groups. · 772cb7c8
      由 Jose R. Santos 提交于 
      This patch mostly controls the way inode are allocated in order to
make ialloc aware of flex_bg block group grouping.  It achieves this
by bypassing the Orlov allocator when block group meta-data are packed
toghether through mke2fs.  Since the impact on the block allocator is
minimal, this patch should have little or no effect on other block
allocation algorithms. By controlling the inode allocation, it can
basically control where the initial search for new block begins and
thus indirectly manipulate the block allocator.

This allocator favors data and meta-data locality so the disk will
gradually be filled from block group zero upward.  This helps improve
performance by reducing seek time.  Since the group of inode tables
within one flex_bg are treated as one giant inode table, uninitialized
block groups would not need to partially initialize as many inode
table as with Orlov which would help fsck time as the filesystem usage
goes up.
