Using relative pathnames in #include statements interacts badly with SystemTap, since the fs/ext4/*.h header files are not packaged up as part of a distribution kernel's header files. Since systemtap doesn't use TP_fast_assign(), we can use a blind structure definition and then make sure the needed header files are defined before the ext4 source files #include the trace/events/ext4.h header file. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512478Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

The s_flex_groups array should have been initialized using atomic_add to sum up the free counts from the block groups that make up a flex_bg. By using atomic_set, the value of the s_flex_groups array was set to the values of the last block group in the flex_bg. The impact of this bug is that the block and inode allocation algorithms might not pick the best flex_bg for new allocation. Thanks to Damien Guibouret for pointing out this problem!

When ext4_dx_add_entry() has to split an index node, it has to ensure that name_len of dx_node's fake_dirent is also zero, because otherwise e2fsck won't recognise it as an intermediate htree node and consider the htree to be corrupted.

Previously the journal_async_commit mount option was equivalent to using barrier=0 (and just as unsafe). This patch fixes it so that we eliminate the barrier before the commit block (by not using ordered mode), and explicitly issuing an empty barrier bio after writing the commit block. Because of the journal checksum, it is safe to do this; if the journal blocks are not all written before a power failure, the checksum in the commit block will prevent the last transaction from being replayed. Using the fs_mark benchmark, using journal_async_commit shows a 50% improvement: FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead 8 1000 10240 30.5 28242 vs. FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead 8 1000 10240 45.8 28620 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

This avoids updating the superblock write time when we are mounting the root file system read/only but we need to replay the journal; at that point, for people who are east of GMT and who make their clock tick in localtime for Windows bug-for-bug compatibility, and this will cause e2fsck to complain and force a full file system check.

We should check for need init flag with the group's alloc_sem held, to make sure while we are loading the buddy cache and holding a reference to it, a file system resize can't add new blocks to same group. The patch also drops the need init flag check in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() because doing the check without holding alloc_sem is racy.

Teach ext4_write_inode() and ext4_do_update_inode() about non-journal mode: If we're not using a journal, ext4_write_inode() now calls ext4_do_update_inode() (after getting the iloc via ext4_get_inode_loc()) with a new "do_sync" parameter. If that parameter is nonzero _and_ we're not using a journal, ext4_do_update_inode() calls sync_dirty_buffer() instead of ext4_handle_dirty_metadata(). This problem was found in power-fail testing, checking the amount of loss of files and blocks after a power failure when using fsync() and when not using fsync(). It turned out that using fsync() was actually worse than not doing so, possibly because it increased the likelihood that the inodes would remain unflushed and would therefore be lost at the power failure.

When there is no journal present, we must attach buffer heads associated with extent tree and indirect blocks to the inode's mapping->private_list via mark_buffer_dirty_inode() so that ext4_sync_file() --- which is called to service fsync() and fdatasync() system calls --- can write out the inode's metadata blocks by calling sync_mapping_buffers().

When ext4 is using a journal, a metadata block which is deallocated must be passed into the journal layer so it can be dropped from the current transaction and/or revoked. This is done by calling the functions ext4_journal_forget() and ext4_journal_revoke(), which call jbd2_journal_forget(), and jbd2_journal_revoke(), respectively. Since the jbd2_journal_forget() and jbd2_journal_revoke() call bforget(), if ext4 is not using a journal, ext4_journal_forget() and ext4_journal_revoke() must call bforget() to avoid a dirty metadata block overwriting a block after it has been reallocated and reused for another inode's data block.

The ext4_move_extents() functions checks with BUG_ON() whether the exchanged blocks count accords with request blocks count. But, if the target range (orig_start + len) includes sparse block(s), 'moved_len' (exchanged blocks count) does not agree with 'len' (request blocks count), since sparse block is not counted in 'moved_len'. This causes us to hit the BUG_ON(), even though the function succeeded. Signed-off-by: Akira Fujita <a-fujita@rs.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

The mext_check_arguments() function in move_extents.c has wrong comparisons. orig_start which is passed from user-space is block unit, but i_size of inode is byte unit, therefore the checks do not work fine. This mis-check leads to the overflow of 'len' and then hits BUG_ON() in ext4_move_extents(). The patch fixes this issue.

We need to flush the write cache unconditionally in ->fsync, otherwise writes into already allocated blocks can get lost. Writes into fully allocated files are very common when using disk images for virtualization, and without this fix can easily lose data after an fdatasync, which is the typical implementation for a cache flush on the virtual drive.

To solve a lock inversion problem, we implement part of the range_cyclic algorithm in ext4_da_writepages(). (See commit 2acf2c26 for more details.) As part of that change wbc->range_start was modified by ext4's writepages function, which causes its callers to get confused since they aren't expecting the filesystem to modify it. The simplest fix is to save and restore wbc->range_start in ext4_da_writepages. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

unsigned short is potentially too small to track blocks within a group; today it is safe due to restrictions in e2fsprogs but we have _lo / _hi bits for group blocks with the intent to go up to 32 bits, so clean this up now. There are many more places where we use unsigned/int/unsigned int to contain a group block but this should at least fix all the short types.

A user reported that although his root ext4 filesystem was mounting fine, other filesystems would not mount, with the: "Filesystem with huge files cannot be mounted RDWR without CONFIG_LBDAF" error on his 32-bit box built without CONFIG_LBDAF. This is because the test at mount time for this situation was not being re-checked on remount, and the normal boot process makes an ro->rw transition, so this was being missed. Refactor to make a common helper function to test the filesystem features against the type of mount request (RO vs. RW) so that we stay consistent.

While reading through some of the mballoc code it seems that a couple spots in the size normalization function could be streamlined. The test for non-overlapping PAs can be or'd for the start & end conditions, and the tests for adjacent PAs can be else-if'd - it's essentially independently testing: if (A + B <= C) ... if (A > C) ... These cannot both be true so it seems like the else-if might be slightly more efficient and/or informative.

ext4_mb_update_group_info is only called in one place, and it's extremely simple. There's no reason to have it in a separate function in a separate file as far as I can tell, it just obfuscates what's really going on. Perhaps it was intended to keep the grp->bb_* manipulation local to mballoc.c but we're already accessing other grp-> fields in balloc.c directly so this seems ok.

During truncate we are sometimes forced to start a new transaction as the amount of blocks to be journaled is both quite large and hard to predict. So far we restarted a transaction while holding i_data_sem and that violates lock ordering because i_data_sem ranks below a transaction start (and it can lead to a real deadlock with ext4_get_blocks() mapping blocks in some page while having a transaction open). We fix the problem by dropping the i_data_sem before restarting the transaction and acquire it afterwards. It's slightly subtle that this works: 1) By the time ext4_truncate() is called, all the page cache for the truncated part of the file is dropped so get_block() should not be called on it (we only have to invalidate extent cache after we reacquire i_data_sem because some extent from not-truncated part could extend also into the part we are going to truncate). 2) Writes, migrate or defrag hold i_mutex so they are stopped for all the time of the truncate.
