Christoph Hellwig 2fe17c1075 fallocate should be a file operation
Currently all filesystems except XFS implement fallocate asynchronously,
while XFS forced a commit.  Both of these are suboptimal - in case of O_SYNC
I/O we really want our allocation on disk, especially for the !KEEP_SIZE
case where we actually grow the file with user-visible zeroes.  On the
other hand always commiting the transaction is a bad idea for fast-path
uses of fallocate like for example in recent Samba versions.   Given
that block allocation is a data plane operation anyway change it from
an inode operation to a file operation so that we have the file structure
available that lets us check for O_SYNC.

This also includes moving the code around for a few of the filesystems,
and remove the already unnedded S_ISDIR checks given that we only wire
up fallocate for regular files.

Jiaying Zhang 3889fd57ea ext4: flush the i_completed_io_list during ext4_truncate
Ted first found the bug when running 2.6.36 kernel with dioread_nolock
mount option that xfstests #13 complained about wrong file size during fsck.
However, the bug exists in the older kernels as well although it is
somehow harder to trigger.

The problem is that ext4_end_io_work() can happen after we have truncated an
inode to a smaller size. Then when ext4_end_io_work() calls 
ext4_convert_unwritten_extents(), we may reallocate some blocks that have 
been truncated, so the inode size becomes inconsistent with the allocated
blocks. 

The following patch flushes the i_completed_io_list during truncate to reduce 
the risk that some pending end_io requests are executed later and convert 
already truncated blocks to initialized. 

Note that although the fix helps reduce the problem a lot there may still 
be a race window between vmtruncate() and ext4_end_io_work(). The fundamental
problem is that if vmtruncate() is called without either i_mutex or i_alloc_sem
held, it can race with an ongoing write request so that the io_end request is
processed later when the corresponding blocks have been truncated.

Ted and I have discussed the problem offline and we saw a few ways to fix
the race completely:

a) We guarantee that i_mutex lock and i_alloc_sem write lock are both hold 
whenever vmtruncate() is called. The i_mutex lock prevents any new write
requests from entering writeback and the i_alloc_sem prevents the race
from ext4_page_mkwrite(). Currently we hold both locks if vmtruncate()
is called from do_truncate(), which is probably the most common case.
However, there are places where we may call vmtruncate() without holding
either i_mutex or i_alloc_sem. I would like to ask for other people's
opinions on what locks are expected to be held before calling vmtruncate().
There seems a disagreement among the callers of that function.

b) We change the ext4 write path so that we change the extent tree to contain 
the newly allocated blocks and update i_size both at the same time --- when 
the write of the data blocks is completed.

c) We add some additional locking to synchronize vmtruncate() and 
ext4_end_io_work(). This approach may have performance implications so we
need to be careful.

All of the above proposals may require more substantial changes, so
we may consider to take the following patch as a bandaid.

Theodore Ts'o 8aefcd557d ext4: dynamically allocate the jbd2_inode in ext4_inode_info as necessary
Replace the jbd2_inode structure (which is 48 bytes) with a pointer
and only allocate the jbd2_inode when it is needed --- that is, when
the file system has a journal present and the inode has been opened

Theodore Ts'o 353eb83c14 ext4: drop i_state_flags on architectures with 64-bit longs
We can store the dynamic inode state flags in the high bits of
EXT4_I(inode)->i_flags, and eliminate i_state_flags.  This saves 8
bytes from the size of ext4_inode_info structure, which when
multiplied by the number of the number of in the inode cache, can save

Theodore Ts'o 1449032be1 ext4: Turn off multiple page-io submission by default
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.

Theodore Ts'o f7ad6d2e92 ext4: handle writeback of inodes which are being freed
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.

Lukas Czerner 7360d1731e ext4: Add batched discard support for ext4
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.

Toshiyuki Okajima e0d10bfa91 ext4: improve llseek error handling for overly large seek offsets
The llseek system call should return EINVAL if passed a seek offset
which results in a write error.  What this maximum offset should be
depends on whether or not the huge_file file system feature is set,
and whether or not the file is extent based or not.


If the file has no "EXT4_EXTENTS_FL" flag, the maximum size which can be 
written (write systemcall) is different from the maximum size which can be 
sought (lseek systemcall).

For example, the following 2 cases demonstrates the differences
between the maximum size which can be written, versus the seek offset
allowed by the llseek system call:

#1: mkfs.ext3 <dev>; mount -t ext4 <dev>
#2: mkfs.ext3 <dev>; tune2fs -Oextent,huge_file <dev>; mount -t ext4 <dev>

Table. the max file size which we can write or seek
       at each filesystem feature tuning and file flag setting

|      \     |     !EXT4_EXTENTS_FL          |        EXT4_EXTETNS_FL        |
|case       \|                               |                               |

+------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+

The differences exist because ext4 has 2 maxbytes which are sb->s_maxbytes
(= extent-mapped maxbytes) and EXT4_SB(sb)->s_bitmap_maxbytes (= block-mapped 
maxbytes).  Although generic_file_llseek uses only extent-mapped maxbytes.
(llseek of ext4_file_operations is generic_file_llseek which uses
sb->s_maxbytes.)

Therefore we create ext4 llseek function which uses 2 maxbytes.

The new own function originates from generic_file_llseek().
If the file flag, "EXT4_EXTENTS_FL" is not set, the function alters 
inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes into EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb)->s_bitmap_maxbytes.

Lukas Czerner bfff68738f ext4: add support for lazy inode table initialization
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.

Curt Wohlgemuth fb1813f4a8 ext4: use dedicated slab caches for group_info structures
ext4_group_info structures are currently allocated with kmalloc().
With a typical 4K block size, these are 136 bytes each -- meaning
they'll each consume a 256-byte slab object.  On a system with many
ext4 large partitions, that's a lot of wasted kernel slab space.
(E.g., a single 1TB partition will have about 8000 block groups, using
about 2MB of slab, of which nearly 1MB is wasted.)

This patch creates an array of slab pointers created as needed --
depending on the superblock block size -- and uses these slabs to
allocate the group info objects.

Eric Sandeen 0cfc9255a1 ext4: re-inline ext4_rec_len_(to|from)_disk functions
commit 3d0518f4, "ext4: New rec_len encoding for very
large blocksizes" made several changes to this path, but from
a perf perspective, un-inlining ext4_rec_len_from_disk() seems
most significant.  This function is called from ext4_check_dir_entry(),
which on a file-creation workload is called extremely often.

I tested this with bonnie:

# bonnie++ -u root -s 0 -f -x 200 -d /mnt/test -n 32

(this does 200 iterations) and got this for the file creations:

ext4 stock:   Average =  21206.8 files/s
ext4 inlined: Average =  22346.7 files/s  (+5%)

jiayingz@google.com (Jiaying Zhang) 5b3ff237be ext4: move aio completion after unwritten extent conversion
This patch is to be applied upon Christoph's "direct-io: move aio_complete
into ->end_io" patch. It adds iocb and result fields to struct ext4_io_end_t,
so that we can call aio_complete from  ext4_end_io_nolock() after the extent
conversion has finished.

I have verified with Christoph's aio-dio test that used to fail after a few
runs on an original kernel but now succeeds on the patched kernel.

See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/19659 for details.

Theodore Ts'o a0375156ca ext4: Clean up s_dirt handling
We don't need to set s_dirt in most of the ext4 code when journaling
is enabled.  In ext3/4 some of the summary statistics for # of free
inodes, blocks, and directories are calculated from the per-block
group statistics when the file system is mounted or unmounted.  As a
result the superblock doesn't have to be updated, either via the
journal or by setting s_dirt.  There are a few exceptions, most
notably when resizing the file system, where the superblock needs to
be modified --- and in that case it should be done as a journalled
operation if possible, and s_dirt set only in no-journal mode.

This patch will optimize out some unneeded disk writes when using ext4
with a journal.

Frank Mayhar 14ece1028b ext4: Make fsync sync new parent directories in no-journal mode
Add a new ext4 state to tell us when a file has been newly created; use
that state in ext4_sync_file in no-journal mode to tell us when we need
to sync the parent directory as well as the inode and data itself.  This
fixes a problem in which a panic or power failure may lose the entire
file even when using fsync, since the parent directory entry is lost.
