We are going to remove the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag in the future, so this is

The overflow can happen when we are calling get_group_no_and_offset()
which stores the group number in the ext4_grpblk_t type which is
actually int. However when the blocknr is big enough the group number
might be bigger than ext4_grpblk_t resulting in overflow. This will
most likely happen with FITRIM default argument len = ULLONG_MAX.

Fix this by using "end" variable instead of "start+len" as it is easier
to get right and specifically check that the end is not beyond the end
of the file system, so we are sure that the result of
get_group_no_and_offset() will not overflow. Otherwise truncate it to
the size of the file system.

This commit rewrites ext4 punch hole implementation to use
ext4_ext_remove_space() instead of its home gown way of doing this via
ext4_ext_map_blocks(). There are several reasons for changing this.

Firstly it is quite non obvious that punching hole needs to
ext4_ext_map_blocks() to punch a hole, especially given that this
function should map blocks, not unmap it. It also required a lot of new
code in ext4_ext_map_blocks().

Secondly the design of it is not very effective. The reason is that we
are trying to punch out blocks in ext4_ext_punch_hole() in opposite
direction than in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() which causes the ext4_ext_rm_leaf()
to iterate through the whole tree from the end to the start to find the
requested extent for every extent we are going to punch out.

And finally the current implementation does not use the existing code,
but bring a lot of new code, which is IMO unnecessary since there
already is some infrastructure we can use. Specifically
ext4_ext_remove_space().

This commit changes ext4_ext_remove_space() to accept 'end' parameter so
we can not only truncate to the end of file, but also remove the space
in the middle of the file (punch a hole). Moreover, because the last
block to punch out, might be in the middle of the extent, we have to
split the extent at 'end + 1' so ext4_ext_rm_leaf() can easily either
remove the whole fist part of split extent, or change its size.

ext4_ext_remove_space() is then used to actually remove the space
(extents) from within the hole, instead of ext4_ext_map_blocks().

Note that this also fix the issue with punch hole, where we would forget
to remove empty index blocks from the extent tree, resulting in double
free block error and file system corruption. This is simply because we
now use different code path, where this problem does not exist.

This has been tested with fsx running for several days and xfstests,
plus xfstest #251 with '-o discard' run on the loop image (which
converts discard requestes into punch hole to the backing file). All of
it on 1K and 4K file system block size.

Normally, we have to issue a cache flush before we can update journal tail in
journal superblock, effectively wiping out old transactions from the journal.
So use the fact that during transaction commit we issue cache flush anyway and
opportunistically push journal tail as far as we can. Since update of journal
superblock is still costly (we have to use WRITE_FUA), we update log tail only
if we can free significant amount of space.

All accesses to checkpointing entries in journal_head are protected

Also the only part of journal head that the rest of checkpointing code

j_list_lock.

So we can safely remove bh_state lock from all of checkpointing code which

When we reach jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail(), there is no guarantee that
checkpointed buffers are on a stable storage - especially if buffers were
written out by jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(), they are likely to be only in disk's
caches. Thus when we update journal superblock effectively removing old
transaction from journal, this write of superblock can get to stable storage
before those checkpointed buffers which can result in filesystem corruption
after a crash. Thus we must unconditionally issue a cache flush before we
update journal superblock in these cases.

A similar problem can also occur if journal superblock is written only in
disk's caches, other transaction starts reusing space of the transaction
cleaned from the log and power failure happens. Subsequent journal replay would
still try to replay the old transaction but some of it's blocks may be already
overwritten by the new transaction. For this reason we must use WRITE_FUA when
updating log tail and we must first write new log tail to disk and update
in-memory information only after that.

Some of these are harmless because they happen during startup or shutdown but
updates in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() and jbd2_journal_flush() can

We can clear PageWriteback on each page when the IO

not be converted by the time a subsequent buffered read
comes in; if the page is not in the page cache, a read
will return zeros if the extent is still uninitialized.

I tested this with a (temporary) patch that adds a call
to msleep(1000) at the start of ext4_end_io_work(), to delay
processing of each DIO-unwritten work queue item.  With this

The following command line will leave the aio-stress process unkillable
on an ext4 file system (in my case, mounted on /mnt/test):

aio-stress -t 20 -s 10 -O -S -o 2 -I 1000 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.20 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.19 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.18 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.17 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.16 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.15 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.14 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.13 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.12 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.11 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.10 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.9 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.8 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.7 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.6 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.5 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.4 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.3 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.2

This is using the aio-stress program from the xfstests test suite.
That particular command line tells aio-stress to do random writes to
20 files from 20 threads (one thread per file).  The files are NOT
preallocated, so you will get writes to random offsets within the
file, thus creating holes and extending i_size.  It also opens the
file with O_DIRECT and O_SYNC.

On to the problem.  When an I/O requires unwritten extent conversion,
it is queued onto the completed_io_list for the ext4 inode.  Two code
paths will pull work items from this list.  The first is the
ext4_end_io_work routine, and the second is ext4_flush_completed_IO,
which is called via the fsync path (and O_SYNC handling, as well).
There are two issues I've found in these code paths.  First, if the
fsync path beats the work routine to a particular I/O, the work
routine will free the io_end structure!  It does not take into account
the fact that the io_end may still be in use by the fsync path.  I've
fixed this issue by adding yet another IO_END flag, indicating that
the io_end is being processed by the fsync path.

The second problem is that the work routine will make an assignment to
io->flag outside of the lock.  I have witnessed this result in a hang
at umount.  Moving the flag setting inside the lock resolved that
problem.

The problem was introduced by commit b82e384c ("ext4: optimize
locking for end_io extent conversion"), which first appeared in 3.2.
As such, the fix should be backported to that release (probably along
with the unwritten extent conversion race fix).

For extent-based files, you can perform DIO to holes, as mentioned in
the comments in ext4_ext_direct_IO.  However, that function passes
DIO_SKIP_HOLES to __blockdev_direct_IO, which is *really* confusing to
the uninitiated reader.  The key, here, is that the get_block function
passed in, ext4_get_block_write, completely ignores the create flag
that is passed to it (the create flag is passed in from the direct I/O
code, which uses the DIO_SKIP_HOLES flag to determine whether or not
it should be cleared).

This is a long-winded way of saying that the DIO_SKIP_HOLES flag is
ultimately ignored.  So let's remove it.
