      jbd2: Add sanity check for attempts to start handle during umount · 5c2178e7
      Theodore Ts'o authored 
      An attempt to modify the file system during the call to
jbd2_destroy_journal() can lead to a system lockup.  So add some
checking to make it much more obvious when this happens to and to
determine where the offending code is located.

      ext4: fix NULL pointer dereference in print_daily_error_info() · a1c6c569
      Sergey Senozhatsky authored 
      Fix NULL pointer dereference in print_daily_error_info, when   
called on unmounted fs (EXT4_SB(sb) returns NULL), by removing error 
reporting timer in ext4_put_super.

      ext4: don't hold spinlock while calling ext4_issue_discard() · 53fdcf99
      Lukas Czerner authored 
      We can't hold the block group spinlock because we ext4_issue_discard()
calls wait and hence can get rescheduled.

      ext4: don't bump up LONG_MAX nr_to_write by a factor of 8 · b443e733
      Eric Sandeen authored 
      I'm uneasy with lots of stuff going on in ext4_da_writepages(),
but bumping nr_to_write from LLONG_MAX to -8 clearly isn't
making anything better, so avoid the multiplier in that case.

      ext4: stop looping in ext4_num_dirty_pages when max_pages reached · 659c6009
      Eric Sandeen authored 
      Today we simply break out of the inner loop when we have accumulated
max_pages; this keeps scanning forwad and doing pagevec_lookup_tag()
in the while (!done) loop, this does potentially a lot of work
with no net effect.

When we have accumulated max_pages, just clean up and return.

      ext4: use dedicated slab caches for group_info structures · fb1813f4
      Curt Wohlgemuth authored 
      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.

      jbd2: Fix I/O hang in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode · 39e3ac25
      Brian King authored 
      This fixes a hang seen in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode
on a lot of Power 6 systems running with ext4. When we get
in the hung state, all I/O to the disk in question gets blocked
where we stay indefinitely. Looking at the task list, I can see
we are stuck in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode waiting on a
wake up. I added some debug code to detect this scenario and
dump additional data if we were stuck in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode
for longer than 30 minutes. When it hit, I was able to see that
i_flags was 0, suggesting we missed the wake up.

This patch changes i_flags to be an unsigned long, uses bit operators
to access it, and adds barriers around the accesses. Prior to applying
this patch, we were regularly hitting this hang on numerous systems
in our test environment. After applying the patch, the hangs no longer
occur.

      ext4: fix EOFBLOCKS_FL handling · 58590b06
      Theodore Ts'o authored 
      It turns out we have several problems with how EOFBLOCKS_FL is
handled.  First of all, there was a fencepost error where we were not
clearing the EOFBLOCKS_FL when fill in the last uninitialized block,
but rather when we allocate the next block _after_ the uninitalized
block.  Secondly we were not testing to see if we needed to clear the
EOFBLOCKS_FL when writing to the file O_DIRECT or when were converting
an uninitialized block (which is the most common case).
