* ext4: prevent parallel resizers by atomic bit opsYongqiang Yang2011-07-264-40/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this patch, parallel resizers are allowed and protected by a mutex lock, actually, there is no need to support parallel resizer, so this patch prevents parallel resizers by atmoic bit ops, like lock_page() and unlock_page() do. To do this, the patch removed the mutex lock s_resize_lock from struct ext4_sb_info and added a unsigned long field named s_resize_flags which inidicates if there is a resizer.

* ext4: fix data corruption in inodes with journalled dataJan Kara2011-07-261-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When journalling data for an inode (either because it is a symlink or because the filesystem is mounted in data=journal mode), ext4_evict_inode() can discard unwritten data by calling truncate_inode_pages(). This is because we don't mark the buffer / page dirty when journalling data but only add the buffer to the running transaction and thus mm does not know there are still unwritten data. Fix the problem by carefully tracking transaction containing inode's data, committing this transaction, and writing uncheckpointed buffers when inode should be reaped.

* ext4: avoid eh_entries overflow before insert extent_idxRobin Dong2011-07-171-8/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If eh_entries is equal to (or greater than) eh_max, the operation of inserting new extent_idx will make number of entries overflow. So check eh_entries before inserting the new extent_idx. Although there is no bug case according the code (function ext4_ext_insert_index is called by ext4_ext_split and ext4_ext_split is called only if the index block has free space), the right logic should be "lookup the capacity before insertion".

* ext4: avoid wasted extent cache lookup if !PUNCH_OUT_EXTRobin Dong2011-07-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch avoids an extraneous lookup of the extent cache in ext4_ext_map_blocks() when the flag EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_PUNCH_OUT_EXT is absent. The existing logic was performing the lookup but not making use of the result. The patch simply reverses the order of evaluation in the condition. Since ext4_ext_in_cache() does not initialize newex on misses, bypassing its invocation does not introduce any new issue in this regard.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The comment from Al Viro about possible race in the ext4_orphan_add() is not justified. There is no race possible as we always have either i_mutex locked, or the inode can not be referenced from outside hence the J_ASSERS should not be hit from the reason described in comment. This commit replaces it with notion that we are holding i_mutex so it should not be possible for i_nlink to be changed while waiting for s_orphan_lock.

* ext4: Speed up FITRIM by recording flags in ext4_group_infoTao Ma2011-07-112-1/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m5.505s user 0m0.000s sys 0m1.224s [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m5.359s user 0m0.000s sys 0m1.178s [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m5.228s user 0m0.000s sys 0m1.151s with the patch: [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m5.625s user 0m0.000s sys 0m1.269s [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m0.002s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m0.002s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s A big improvement for the 2nd and 3rd run.

* ext4: speed up group trim with the right free block countTao Ma2011-07-111-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we trim some free blocks in a group of ext4, we need to calculate the free blocks properly and check whether there are enough freed blocks left for us to trim. Current solution will only calculate free spaces if they are large for a trim which isn't appropriate. Let us see a small example: a group has 1.5M free which are 300k, 300k, 300k, 300k, 300k. And minblocks is 1M. With current solution, we have to iterate the whole group since these 300k will never be subtracted from 1.5M. But actually we should exit after we find the first 2 free spaces since the left 3 chunks only sum up to 900K if we subtract the first 600K although they can't be trimed.

* ext4: fix trim length underflow with small trim lengthTao Ma2011-07-101-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 0f0a25b, we adjust 'len' with s_first_data_block - start, but it could underflow in case blocksize=1K, fstrim_range.len=512 and fstrim_range.start = 0. In this case, when we run the code: len -= first_data_blk - start; len will be underflow to -1ULL. In the end, although we are safe that last_group check later will limit the trim to the whole volume, but that isn't what the user really want. So this patch fix it. It also adds the check for 'start' like ext3 so that we can break immediately if the start is invalid.

* ext4: fix i_blocks/quota accounting when extent insertion failsMaxim Patlasov2011-07-103-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

This is caused for example by the following race: TASK1 TASK2 jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() ... processing t_forget list __jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(jh); if (!jh->b_transaction) { jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh); jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() jbd2_journal_grab_journal_head(bh) jbd_lock_bh_state(bh) __journal_try_to_free_buffer() jbd2_journal_put_journal_head(jh) jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head(bh); jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() in TASK2 sees that b_jcount == 0 and buffer is not part of any transaction and thus frees journal_head before TASK1 gets to doing so. Note that even buffer_head can be released by try_to_free_buffers() after jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() which adds even larger opportunity for oops (but I didn't see this happen in reality). Fix the problem by making transactions hold their own journal_head reference (in b_jcount). That way we don't have to remove journal_head explicitely via jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() and instead just remove journal_head when b_jcount drops to zero. The result of this is that [__]jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(), [__]jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer(), and __jdb2_journal_remove_checkpoint() can free journal_head which needs modification of a few callers. Also we have to be careful because once journal_head is removed, buffer_head might be freed as well. So we have to get our own buffer_head reference where it matters.

| * ext4: fixed tracepoints cleanupLukas Czerner2011-06-063-107/+80
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While creating fixed tracepoints for ext3, basically by porting them from ext4, I found a lot of useless retyping, wrong type usage, useless variable passing and other inconsistencies in the ext4 fixed tracepoint code. This patch cleans the fixed tracepoint code for ext4 and also simplify some of them. Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
| * ext4: use FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST flag for last extent in fiemap Lukas Czerner2011-06-062-6/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we are not marking the extent as the last one (FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST) if there is a hole at the end of the file. This is because we just do not check for it right now and continue searching for next extent. But at the point we hit the hole at the end of the file, it is too late. This commit adds check for the allocated block in subsequent extent and if there is no more extents (block = EXT_MAX_BLOCKS) just flag the current one as the last one. This behaviour has been spotted unintentionally by 252 xfstest, when the test hangs out, because of wrong loop condition. However on other filesystems (like xfs) it will exit anyway, because we notice the last extent flag and exit. With this patch xfstest 252 does not hang anymore, ext4 fiemap implementation still reports bad extent type in some cases, however this seems to be different issue.

| * ext4: Fix max file size and logical block counting of extent format fileLukas Czerner2011-06-064-27/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kazuya Mio reported that he was able to hit BUG_ON(next == lblock) in ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache() while creating a sparse file in extent format and fill the tail of file up to its end. We will hit the BUG_ON when we write the last block (2^32-1) into the sparse file. The root cause of the problem lies in the fact that we specifically set s_maxbytes so that block at s_maxbytes fit into on-disk extent format, which is 32 bit long. However, we are not storing start and end block number, but rather start block number and length in blocks. It means that in order to cover extent from 0 to EXT_MAX_BLOCK we need EXT_MAX_BLOCK+1 to fit into len (because we counting block 0 as well) - and it does not. The only way to fix it without changing the meaning of the struct ext4_extent members is, as Kazuya Mio suggested, to lower s_maxbytes by one fs block so we can cover the whole extent we can get by the on-disk extent format. Also in many places EXT_MAX_BLOCK is used as length instead of maximum logical block number as the name suggests, it is all a bit messy. So this commit renames it to EXT_MAX_BLOCKS and change its usage in some places to actually be maximum number of blocks in the extent. The bug which this commit fixes can be reproduced as follows: dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=<blocksize> count=1 seek=$((2**32-2)) sync dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=<blocksize> count=1 seek=$((2**32-1)) Reported-by: Kazuya Mio <k-mio@sx.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
