jbd2_log_start_commit() returns 1 only when we really start a transaction. But we also need to wait for a transaction when the commit is already running. Fix this problem by waiting for transaction commit unconditionally (which is just a quick check if the transaction is already committed). Also we have to be more careful with sending of a barrier because when transaction is being committed in parallel to ext4_sync_file() running, we cannot be sure that the barrier the journalling code sends happens after we wrote all the data for fsync (note that not every data writeout needs to trigger metadata changes thus commit of some metadata changes can be running while other data is still written out). So use jbd2_will_send_data_barrier() helper to detect the common cases when we can be sure barrier will be issued by the commit code and issue the barrier ourselves in the remaining cases.

Provide a function which returns whether a transaction with given tid will send a flush to the filesystem device. The function will be used by ext4 to detect whether fsync needs to send a separate flush or not. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

In data=ordered mode, it's theoretically possible (however rare) that an inode is filed to transaction's t_inode_list and a flusher thread writes all the data and inode is reclaimed before the transaction starts to commit. In such a case, we could erroneously omit sending a flush to file system device when it is different from the journal device (because data can still be in disk cache only). Fix the problem by setting a flag in a transaction when some inode is added to it and then send disk flush in the commit code when the flag is set.

To get delayed-extent information, ext4_ext_fiemap_cb() looks up pagecache, it thus collects information starting from a page's head block. If blocksize < pagesize, the beginning blocks of a page may lies before the request range. So ext4_ext_fiemap_cb() should proceed ignoring them, because they has been handled before. If no mapped buffer in the range is found in the 1st page, we need to look up the 2nd page, otherwise delayed-extents after a hole will be ignored. Without this patch, xfstests 225 will hung on ext4 with 1K block.

Theodore Ts'o authored
In commit c8d46e41 (ext4: Add flag to files with blocks intentionally past EOF), if the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag is set, we call ext4_truncate() before calling vmtruncate(). This caused any allocated but unwritten blocks created by calling fallocate() with the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE flag to be dropped. This was done to make to make sure that EOFBLOCKS_FL would not be cleared while still leaving blocks past i_size allocated. This was not necessary, since ext4_truncate() guarantees that blocks past i_size will be dropped, even in the case where truncate() has increased i_size before calling ext4_truncate(). So fix this by removing the EOFBLOCKS_FL special case treatment in ext4_setattr(). In addition, use truncate_setsize() followed by a call to ext4_truncate() instead of using vmtruncate(). This is more efficient since it skips the call to inode_newsize_ok(), which has been checked already by inode_change_ok(). This is also in a win in the case where EOFBLOCKS_FL is set since it avoids calling ext4_truncate() twice. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

t_max_wait is added in commit 8e85fb3f to indicate how long we were waiting for new transaction to start. In commit 6d0bf005, it is moved to another function named update_t_max_wait to avoid a build warning. But the wrong thing is that the original 'ts' is initialized in the start of function start_this_handle and we can calculate t_max_wait in the right way. while with this change, ts is initialized within the function and t_max_wait can never be calculated right. This patch moves the initialization of ts to the original beginning of start_this_handle and pass it to function update_t_max_wait so that it can be calculated right and the build warning is avoided also.

ext4_ext_truncate() should not invoke up_write(&EXT4_I(inode)->i_data_sem) when ext4_orphan_add() returns an error, as it hasn't performed a down_write() yet.

After creating an ext4 file system without a journal: # mke2fs -t ext4 -O ^has_journal /dev/sda # mount -t ext4 /dev/sda /test the /proc/mounts will show: "/dev/sda /test ext4 rw,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=writeback 0 0" which can fool users into thinking that the fs is using writeback mode. So don't set the writeback option when the journal has not been enabled; we don't depend on the writeback option being set, since ext4_should_writeback_data() in ext4_jbd2.h tests to see if the journal is not present before returning true.

We need to take reference to the s_li_request after we take a mutex, because it might be freed since then, hence result in accessing old already freed memory. Also we should protect the whole ext4_remove_li_request() because ext4_li_info might be in the process of being freed in ext4_lazyinit_thread().

For some reason, when we set the mount option "init_itable=0" it behaves as we would set init_itable=20 which is not right at all. Basically when we set it to zero we are saying to lazyinit thread not to wait between zeroing the inode table (except of cond_resched()) so this commit fixes that and removes the unnecessary condition. The 'n' should be also properly used on remount. When the n is not set at all, it means that the default miltiplier EXT4_DEF_LI_WAIT_MULT is set instead.

In order to make lazyinit eat approx. 10% of io bandwidth at max, we are sleeping between zeroing each single inode table. For that purpose we are using timer which wakes up thread when it expires. It is set via add_timer() and this may cause troubles in the case that thread has been woken up earlier and in next iteration we call add_timer() on still running timer hence hitting BUG_ON in add_timer(). We could fix that by using mod_timer() instead however we can use schedule_timeout_interruptible() for waiting and hence simplifying things a lot. This commit exchange the old "waiting mechanism" with simple schedule_timeout_interruptible(), setting the time to sleep. Hence we do not longer need li_wait_daemon waiting queue and others, so get rid of it.

In order to stabilize pages during disk writes, ext4_page_mkwrite must wait for writeback operations to complete before making a page writable. Furthermore, the function must return locked pages, and recheck the writeback status if the page lock is ever dropped. The "someone could wander in" part of this patch was suggested by Chris Mason.

After online resize which adds new groups, some of the groups in a buddy page may be initialized and uptodate, while other (new ones) may be uninitialized. The indication for init of new block groups is when ext4_mb_init_cache() is called with an uptodate buddy page.

The block allocation code used to use jbd2_journal_get_undo_access as a way to make changes that wouldn't show up until the commit took place. The new multi-block allocation code has a its own way of preventing newly freed blocks from getting reused until the commit takes place (it avoids updating the buddy bitmaps until the commit is done), so we don't need to use jbd2_journal_get_undo_access(), which has extra overhead compared to jbd2_journal_get_write_access(). There was one last vestigal use of ext4_journal_get_undo_access() in ext4_add_groupblocks(); change it to use ext4_journal_get_write_access() and then remove the ext4_journal_get_undo_access() support.

In do_get_write_access() we wait on BH_Unshadow bit for buffer to get from shadow state. The waking code in journal_commit_transaction() has a bug because it does not issue a memory barrier after the buffer is moved from the shadow state and before wake_up_bit() is called. Thus a waitqueue check can happen before the buffer is actually moved from the shadow state and waiting process may never be woken. Fix the problem by issuing proper barrier.

ext4_symlink() cannot call __page_symlink() with transaction open. __page_symlink() calls ext4_write_begin() which can wait for transaction commit if we are running out of space thus causing a deadlock. Also error recovery in ext4_truncate_failed_write() does not count with the transaction being already started (although I'm not aware of any particular deadlock here). Fix the problem by stopping a transaction before calling __page_symlink() (we have to be careful and put inode to orphan list so that it gets deleted in case of crash) and starting another one after __page_symlink() returns for addition of symlink into a directory.

If an application program does not make any changes to the indirect blocks or extent tree, i_datasync_tid will not get updated. If there are enough commits (i.e., 2**31) such that tid_geq()'s calculations wrap, and there isn't a currently active transaction at the time of the fdatasync() call, this can end up triggering a BUG_ON in fs/jbd2/commit.c: J_ASSERT(journal->j_running_transaction != NULL); It's pretty rare that this can happen, since it requires the use of fdatasync() plus *very* frequent and excessive use of fsync(). But with the right workload, it can. We fix this by replacing the use of tid_geq() with an equality test, since there's only one valid transaction id that we is valid for us to wait until it is commited: namely, the currently running transaction (if it exists).
