Christoph Hellwig ebc1ac1645 ->write_super lock_super pushdown
Push down lock_super into ->write_super instances and remove it from the
caller.

Following filesystem don't need ->s_lock in ->write_super and are skipped:

 * bfs, nilfs2 - no other uses of s_lock and have internal locks in
	->write_super
 * ext2 - uses BKL in ext2_write_super and has internal calls without s_lock
 * reiserfs - no other uses of s_lock as has reiserfs_write_lock (BKL) in
 	->write_super
 * xfs - no other uses of s_lock and uses internal lock (buffer lock on
	superblock buffer) to serialize ->write_super.  Also xfs_fs_write_super
	is superflous and will go away in the next merge window

Al Viro bbd6851a32 Push lock_super() into the ->remount_fs() of filesystems that care about it
Note that since we can't run into contention between remount_fs and write_super
(due to exclusion on s_umount), we have to care only about filesystems that
touch lock_super() on their own.  Out of those ext3, ext4, hpfs, sysv and ufs
do need it; fat doesn't since its ->remount_fs() only accesses assign-once
data (basically, it's "we have no atime on directories and only have atime on
files for vfat; force nodiratime and possibly noatime into *flags").

Christoph Hellwig 6cfd014842 push BKL down into ->put_super
Move BKL into ->put_super from the only caller.  A couple of
filesystems had trivial enough ->put_super (only kfree and NULLing of
s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs,
hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment.  Most
of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually.
Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.

[AV: original used to move lock_super() down as well; these changes are
removed since we don't do lock_super() at all in generic_shutdown_super()
now]
[AV: fuse, btrfs and xfs are known to need no damn BKL, exempt]

Al Viro a9e220f832 No need to do lock_super() for exclusion in generic_shutdown_super()
We can't run into contention on it.  All other callers of lock_super()
either hold s_umount (and we have it exclusive) or hold an active
reference to superblock in question, which prevents the call of
generic_shutdown_super() while the reference is held.  So we can
replace lock_super(s) with get_fs_excl() in generic_shutdown_super()
(and corresponding change for unlock_super(), of course).

Since ext4 expects s_lock held for its put_super, take lock_super()
into it.  The rest of filesystems do not care at all.

Christoph Hellwig 8c85e12512 remove ->write_super call in generic_shutdown_super
We just did a full fs writeout using sync_filesystem before, and if
that's not enough for the filesystem it can perform it's own writeout
in ->put_super, which many filesystems already do.

Move a call to foofs_write_super into every foofs_put_super for now to
guarantee identical behaviour until it's cleaned up by the individual
filesystem maintainers.

Exceptions:

 - affs already has identical copy & pasted code at the beginning of
   affs_put_super so no need to do it twice.
 - xfs does the right thing without it and I have changes pending for
   the xfs tree touching this are so I don't really need conflicts
   here..

Toshiyuki Okajima 9aee228607 ext4: fix dx_map_entry to support 256k directory blocks
The dx_map_entry structure doesn't support over 64KB block size by
current usage of its member("offs"). Because "offs" treats an offset
of copies of the ext4_dir_entry_2 structure as is. This member size is
16 bits. But real offset for over 64KB(256KB) block size needs 18
bits. However, real offset keeps 4 byte boundary, so lower 2 bits is
not used.

Therefore, we do the following to fix this limitation:
For "store": 
	we divide the real offset by 4 and then store this result to "offs" 
	member.
For "use":
	we multiply "offs" member by 4 and then use this result 
	as real offset.

Get rid of EXTEND_DISKSIZE flag of ext4_get_blocks_handle(). This
seems to be a relict from some old days and setting disksize in this

ext4_getblk().  Since the parameter has some effect only if create ==

callers which end up calling ext4_getblk() with create == 1
(ext4_append, ext4_quota_write, ext4_mkdir) do the right thing and set

Martin K. Petersen e1defc4ff0 block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_size
Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case.  The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes.  Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.

This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

Theodore Ts'o 6fd058f779 ext4: Add a comprehensive block validity check to ext4_get_blocks()
To catch filesystem bugs or corruption which could lead to the
filesystem getting severly damaged, this patch adds a facility for
tracking all of the filesystem metadata blocks by contiguous regions
in a red-black tree.  This allows quick searching of the tree to
locate extents which might overlap with filesystem metadata blocks.

This facility is also used by the multi-block allocator to assure that
it is not allocating blocks out of the system zone, as well as by the
routines used when reading indirect blocks and extents information
from disk to make sure their contents are valid.

Theodore Ts'o 2ec0ae3ace ext4: Fix race in ext4_inode_info.i_cached_extent
If two CPU's simultaneously call ext4_ext_get_blocks() at the same
time, there is nothing protecting the i_cached_extent structure from
being used and updated at the same time.  This could potentially cause
the wrong location on disk to be read or written to, including
potentially causing the corruption of the block group descriptors
and/or inode table.

This bug has been in the ext4 code since almost the very beginning of
ext4's development.  Fortunately once the data is stored in the page
cache cache, ext4_get_blocks() doesn't need to be called, so trying to
replicate this problem to the point where we could identify its root
cause was *extremely* difficult.  Many thanks to Kevin Shanahan for
working over several months to be able to reproduce this easily so we
could finally nail down the cause of the corruption.

Aneesh Kumar K.V 2a8964d63d ext4: Clear the unwritten buffer_head flag after the extent is initialized
The BH_Unwritten flag indicates that the buffer is allocated on disk
but has not been written; that is, the disk was part of a persistent
preallocation area.  That flag should only be set when a get_blocks()
function is looking up a inode's logical to physical block mapping.

When ext4_get_blocks_wrap() is called with create=1, the uninitialized
extent is converted into an initialized one, so the BH_Unwritten flag
is no longer appropriate.  Hence, we need to make sure the
BH_Unwritten is not left set, since the combination of BH_Mapped and
BH_Unwritten is not allowed; among other things, it will result ext4's
get_block() to be called over and over again during the write_begin
phase of write(2).

so any extent which ended right at 4G was stopping the extent
walk.  Just replacing these values with the extent block &
length should fix it.

Also give blksize_bits a saner type, and reverse the order 
of the tests to make the more likely case tested first.

The fs/ext4/namei.h header file had only a single function
declaration, and should have never been a standalone file.  Move it
into ext4.h, where should have been from the beginning.

Theodore Ts'o ca0faba0e8 ext4: Move the ext4_sb.h header file into ext4.h
There is no longer a reason for a separate ext4_sb.h header file, so
move it into ext4.h just to make life easier for developers to find
the relevant data structures and typedefs.  Should also speed up
compiles slightly, too.

Theodore Ts'o 75507efb13 ext4: Don't avoid using BLOCK_UNINIT block groups in mballoc
By avoiding the use of not-yet-used block groups (i.e., block groups
with the BLOCK_UNINIT flag), mballoc had a tendency to create large
files with large non-contiguous gaps.  In addition avoiding the use of
new block groups had a tendency to push regular file data into the
first block group in a flex_bg group, which slows down the speed of
e2fsck pass 2, since it has a tendency to seek much more.  For
example:

               Before Patch                       After Patch
              Time in seconds                   Time in seconds
            Real /  User/  Sys   MB/s      Real /  User/  Sys    MB/s
Pass 1      8.52 / 2.21 / 0.46  20.43      8.84 / 4.97 / 1.11   19.68
Pass 2     21.16 / 1.02 / 1.86  11.30      6.54 / 1.77 / 1.78   36.39
Pass 3      0.01 / 0.00 / 0.00 139.00      0.01 / 0.01 / 0.00  128.90
Pass 4      0.16 / 0.15 / 0.00   0.00      0.17 / 0.17 / 0.00    0.00
Pass 5      2.52 / 1.99 / 0.09   0.79      2.31 / 1.78 / 0.06    0.86
Total      32.40 / 5.11 / 2.49  12.81     17.99 / 8.75 / 2.98   23.01

This was on a sample 80 gig root filesystem which was approximately
50% full.  Note the improved e2fsck pass 2 performance, by over a
factor of 3, due to a decreased number of seeks.  (The total amount of
I/O in pass 2 was unchanged; the layout of the directory blocks was
simply much better from e2fsck's's perspective.)

Other changes as a result of this patch on this sample filesystem:

                             Before Patch    After Patch
# of non-contig files           762             779
# of non-contig directories     571             570
# of BLOCK_UNINIT bg's          307             293
# of INODE_UNINIT bg's          503             503

Out of 640 block groups, of which 333 were in use, this patch caused
an extra 14 block groups to be utilized.  The number of non-contiguous
files did go up slightly, but when measured against the 99.9% of the
files (603,154) which were contiguously allocated, this is pretty
insignificant.

Theodore Ts'o 32ed5058ce ext4: Replace lock/unlock_super() with an explicit lock for resizing
Use a separate lock to protect s_groups_count and the other block
group descriptors which get changed via an on-line resize operation,
so we can stop overloading the use of lock_super().

Theodore Ts'o a63c9eb2ce ext4: ext4_mark_recovery_complete() doesn't need to use lock_super
The function ext4_mark_recovery_complete() is called from two call
paths: either (a) while mounting the filesystem, in which case there's
no danger of any other CPU calling write_super() until the mount is
completed, and (b) while remounting the filesystem read-write, in
which case the fs core has already locked the superblock.  This also
allows us to take out a very vile unlock_super()/lock_super() pair in
ext4_remount().

Theodore Ts'o 114e9fc907 ext4: Remove outdated comment about lock_super()
ext4_fill_super() is no longer called by read_super(), and it is no
longer called with the superblock locked.  The
unlock_super()/lock_super() is no longer present, so this comment is
entirely superfluous.

Theodore Ts'o 8df9675f8b ext4: Avoid races caused by on-line resizing and SMP memory reordering
Ext4's on-line resizing adds a new block group and then, only at the
last step adjusts s_groups_count.  However, it's possible on SMP
systems that another CPU could see the updated the s_group_count and
not see the newly initialized data structures for the just-added block
group.  For this reason, it's important to insert a SMP read barrier
after reading s_groups_count and before reading any (for example) the
new block group descriptors allowed by the increased value of
s_groups_count.

Unfortunately, we rather blatently violate this locking protocol
documented in fs/ext4/resize.c.  Fortunately, (1) on-line resizes
happen relatively rarely, and (2) it seems rare that the filesystem
code will immediately try to use just-added block group before any
memory ordering issues resolve themselves.  So apparently problems
here are relatively hard to hit, since ext3 has been vulnerable to the
same issue for years with no one apparently complaining.

Theodore Ts'o 9ca92389c5 ext4: Use separate super_operations structure for no_journal filesystems
By using a separate super_operations structure for filesystems that
have and don't have journals, we can simply ext4_write_super() ---
which is only needed when no journal is present --- and ext4_freeze(),
ext4_unfreeze(), and ext4_sync_fs(), which are only needed when the
journal is present.
