- Add more ext4 tracepoints. - Change ext4 tracepoints to use dev_t field with MAJOR/MINOR macros so that we can save 4 bytes in the ring buffer on some platforms. - Add sync_mode to ext4_da_writepages, ext4_da_write_pages, and ext4_da_writepages_result tracepoints. Also remove for_reclaim field from ext4_da_writepages since it is usually not very useful. Signed-off-by: Jiaying Zhang <jiayingz@google.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

We can call kfree on uninitialized members of the s_group_info array on an the error path. We can avoid this by kzalloc'ing the array. This doesn't entirely solve the oops on mount if we fail down this path; failed_mount4: frees the sbi, for one, which gets referenced later in the failed mount paths - I haven't worked that out yet. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30872Reported-by: Eugene A.

Checking return code from ext4_journal_get_write_access() is important with snapshots, because this function invokes COW, so may return new errors, such as ENOSPC. ext4_clear_blocks() now returns < 0 for fatal errors, in which case, ext4_free_data() is aborted.

There are two wrapper functions which do exactly the same thing: ext4_journal_release_buffer(), and ext4_handle_release_buffer(). In addition, ext4_xattr_block_set() calls jbd2_journal_release_buffer() directly. Unify all of the code to use ext4_handle_release_buffer(), and get rid of ext4_journal_release_buffer().

Add fields needed for the copy-on-write ext4 development work. The h_cowing flag is used by ext4 snapshots code to mark the task in COWING state. The h_XXX_credits fields are used to track buffer credits usage (accounted by COW and non-COW operations). The h_cow_XXX fields are used as per task debugging counters. Merging this commit into mainline will allow users to test ext4 snapshots as a standalone module, without the need to patch and install a development kernel.

The b_cow_tid field will be used by the ext4 snapshots code to store the transaction id when the buffer was last cowed. Merging this patch to mainline will allow users to test ext4 snapshots as a standalone module, without the need to patch and install a development kernel. On 64bit machines this field uses fills in a padding "hole" and does not increase the size of the struct. On a 32bit machine this patch increases the size of the struct from 60 to 64 bytes.

When allocating a new inode, we need to make sure i_sync_tid and i_datasync_tid are initialized. Otherwise, one or both of these two values could be left initialized to zero, which could potentially result in BUG_ON in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction. (This could happen by having journal->commit_request getting set to zero, which could wake up the kjournald process even though there is no running transaction, which then causes a BUG_ON via the J_ASSERT(j_ruinning_transaction != NULL) statement.

While running ext4 testing on multiple core, we found there are per cpu ext4-dio-unwritten threads processing conversion from unwritten extents to written for IOs completed from async direct IO patch. Per filesystem is enough, we don't need per cpu threads to work on conversion. Signed-off-by: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com>

If no extent conversion is required, wake up any processes waiting for the page's writeback to be complete and free the ext4_io_end structure directly in ext4_end_bio() instead of dropping it on the linked list (which requires taking a spinlock to queue and dequeue the io_end structure), and waiting for the workqueue to do this work. This removes an extra scheduling delay before process waiting for an fsync() to complete gets woken up, and it also reduces the CPU overhead for a random write workload.

Orphan cleanup is currently executed even if the file system has some number of unknown ROCOMPAT features, which deletes inodes and frees blocks, which could be very bad for some RO_COMPAT features, especially the SNAPSHOT feature. This patch skips the orphan cleanup if it contains readonly compatible features not known by this ext4 implementation, which would prevent the fs from being mounted (or remounted) readwrite.

This assures that the root inode is not leaked, and that sb->s_root is NULL, which will prevent generic_shutdown_super() from doing extra work, including call sync_filesystem, which ultimately results in ext4_sync_fs() getting called with an uninitialized struct super, which is the cause of the crash noted in Kernel Bugzilla #26752. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26752Signed-off-by: Manish Katiyar <mkatiyar@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

In ext4_bio_write_page(), if the memory allocation for the struct ext4_io_page fails, it returns with the page's PageWriteback flag set. This will end up causing the page not to skip writeback in WB_SYNC_NONE mode, and in WB_SYNC_ALL mode (i.e., on a sync, fsync, or umount) the writeback daemon will get stuck forever on the wait_on_page_writeback() function in write_cache_pages_da(). Or, if journalling is enabled and the file gets deleted, it the journal thread can get stuck in journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() call to filemap_fdatawait(). Another place where things can get hung up is in truncate_inode_pages(), called out of ext4_evict_inode(). Fix this by not setting PageWriteback until after we have successfully allocated the struct ext4_io_page. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

If we have accumulated a contiguous region of memory to be written out, and the next page can added to this region, don't bother locking (and then unlocking the page) before writing out the memory. In the unlikely event that the next page was being written back by some other CPU, we can also skip waiting that page to finish writeback. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

Because the ext4 page writeback codepath had been prematurely calling clear_page_dirty_for_io(), if it turned out that a particular page couldn't be written out during a particular pass of write_cache_pages_da(), the page would have to get redirtied by calling redirty_pages_for_writeback(). Not only was this wasted work, but redirty_page_for_writeback() would increment wbc->pages_skipped to signal to writeback_sb_inodes() that buffers were locked, and that it should skip this inode until later. Since this signal was incorrect in ext4's case --- which was caused by ext4's historically incorrect use of write_cache_pages() --- ext4_da_writepages() saved and restored wbc->skipped_pages to avoid confusing writeback_sb_inodes(). Now that we've fixed ext4 to call clear_page_dirty_for_io() right before initiating the page I/O, we can nuke the page_skipped save/restore hackery, and breathe a sigh of relief.

If ext4_da_block_invalidatepages() is called because of a failure from ext4_map_blocks() in mpage_da_map_and_submit(), it's supposed to clean up -- including unlock -- all the pages in the mpd structure. But these values may not match up, even on a system in which block size == page size: mpd->b_blocknr != mpd->first_page mpd->b_size != (mpd->next_page - mpd->first_page) ext4_da_block_invalidatepages() has been using b_blocknr and b_size; this patch changes it to use first_page and next_page. Tested: I injected a small number (5%) of failures in ext4_map_blocks() in the case that the flags contain EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE, and ran fsstress on this kernel. Without this patch, I got hung tasks every time. With this patch, I see no hangs in many runs of fsstress.

In mpage_da_map_and_submit(), if we have a delayed block allocation failure from ext4_map_blocks(), we need to mark the IO as complete, by setting mpd->io_done = 1; Otherwise, we could end up submitting the pages in an outer loop; since they are unlocked on mapping failure in ext4_da_block_invalidatepages(), this will cause a bug check in mpage_da_submit_io(). I tested this by injected failures into ext4_map_blocks(). Without this patch, a simple fsstress run will bug check; with the patch, it works fine.

In ext4_mb_check_group_pa(), the current preallocation space is replaced with a new preallocation space when the two have the same distance from the goal block. This doesn't actually gain us anything, so change things so that the function only switches to the new preallocation group if its distance from the goal block is strictly smaller than the current preallocaiton group's distance from the goal block.

There's no good reason to require the extra step of providing a mount option for acl or user_xattr once the feature is configured on; no other filesystem that I know of requires this. Userspace patches have set these options in default mount options, and this patch makes them default in the kernel. At some point we can start to deprecate the options, perhaps. For now I've removed default mount option checks in show_options() to be explicit about what's set, since it's changing the default, but I'm open to alternatives if desired.

Discard granularity tells us the minimum size of extent that can be discarded by the device. If the user supplies a minimum extent that should be discarded (range.minlen) which is smaller than the discard granularity, increase minlen to the discard granularity, since there's no point submitting trim requests that the device will reject anyway.

For a device that does not support discard, the FITRIM ioctl returns -EOPNOTSUPP when blkdev_issue_discard() returns this error code, which is how the user is informed that the device does not support discard. If there are no suitable free extents to be trimmed, then FITRIM will return success even though the device does not support discard, which could confuse the user. So check explicitly if the device supports discard and return an error code at the beginning of the FITRIM ioctl processing.
