Commit 9cb00419, which enables hole punching for bigalloc file systems, exposed a bug introduced by commit 6ae06ff5 in an earlier release. When run on a bigalloc file system, xfstests generic/013, 068, 075, 083, 091, 100, 112, 127, 263, 269, and 270 fail with e2fsck errors or cause kernel error messages indicating that previously freed blocks are being freed again. The latter commit optimizes the selection of the starting extent in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() when hole punching by beginning with the extent supplied in the path argument rather than with the last extent in the leaf node (as is still done when truncating). However, the code in rm_leaf that initially sets partial_cluster to track cluster sharing on extent boundaries is only guaranteed to run if rm_leaf starts with the last node in the leaf. Consequently, partial_cluster is not correctly initialized when hole punching, and a cluster on the boundary of a punched region that should be retained may instead be deallocated.

Code deallocating the extent path referenced by an argument to ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents was made redundant with identical code in its one caller, ext4_ext_map_blocks, by commit 37794732. Allocating and deallocating the path in the same function also makes the code clearer. Signed-off-by: Eric Whitney <enwlinux@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied, unconditional syncfs(). This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful, except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting remounted read-only. However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are actually depending on this behavior. In most file systems, it's probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something like romfs).

When doing filesystem wide sync, there's no need to force transaction commit (or synchronously write inode buffer) separately for each inode because ext4_sync_fs() takes care of forcing commit at the end (VFS takes care of flushing buffer cache, respectively). Most of the time this slowness doesn't manifest because previous WB_SYNC_NONE writeback doesn't leave much to write but when there are processes aggressively creating new files and several filesystems to sync, the sync slowness can be noticeable. In the following test script sync(1) takes around 6 minutes when there are two ext4 filesystems mounted on a standard SATA drive. After this patch sync takes a couple of seconds so we have about two orders of magnitude improvement. function run_writers { for (( i = 0; i < 10; i++ )); do mkdir $1/dir$i for (( j = 0; j < 40000; j++ )); do dd if=/dev/zero of=$1/dir$i/$j bs=4k count=4 &>/dev/null done & done } for dir in "$@"; do run_writers $dir done sleep 40 time sync Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

This patch implements fallocate's FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE for Ext4. The semantics of this flag are following: 1) It collapses the range lying between offset and length by removing any data blocks which are present in this range and than updates all the logical offsets of extents beyond "offset + len" to nullify the hole created by removing blocks. In short, it does not leave a hole. 2) It should be used exclusively. No other fallocate flag in combination. 3) Offset and length supplied to fallocate should be fs block size aligned in case of xfs and ext4. 4) Collaspe range does not work beyond i_size.

While handling punch-hole fallocate, it's useless to truncate page cache before removing the range from extent tree (or block map in indirect case) because page cache can be re-populated (by read-ahead or read(2) or mmap-ed read) immediately after truncating page cache, but before updating extent tree (or block map). In that case the user will see stale data even after fallocate is completed. Until the problem of data corruption resulting from pages backed by already freed blocks is fully resolved, the simple thing we can do now is to add another truncation of pagecache after punch hole is done.

When looking at a bug report with: > kernel: EXT4-fs: 0 scanned, 0 found I thought wow, 0 scanned, that's odd? But it's not odd; it's printing a variable that is initialized to 0 and never touched again. It's never been used since the original merge, so I don't really even know what the original intent was, either. If anyone knows how to hook it up, speak now via patch, otherwise just yank it so it's not making a confusing situation more confusing in kernel logs.

The ext4_map_blocks() function returns the number of blocks which satisfying the caller's request. This number of blocks requested by the caller is specified by an unsigned integer, but the return value of ext4_map_blocks() is a signed integer (to accomodate error codes per the kernel's standard error signalling convention). Historically, overflows could never happen since mballoc() will refuse to allocate more than 2048 blocks at a time (which is something we should fix), and if the blocks were already allocated, the fact that there would be some number of intervening metadata blocks pretty much guaranteed that there could never be a contiguous region of data blocks that was greater than 2**31 blocks. However, this is now possible if there is a file system which is a bit bigger than 8TB, and is created using the new mke2fs hugeblock feature, which can create a perfectly contiguous file. In that case, if a userspace program attempted to call fallocate() on this already fully allocated file, it's possible that ext4_map_blocks() could return a number large enough that it would overflow a signed integer, resulting in a ext4 thinking that the ext4_map_blocks() call had failed with some strange error code. Since ext4_map_blocks() is always free to return a smaller number of blocks than what was requested by the caller, fix this by capping the number of blocks that ext4_map_blocks() will ever try to map to 2**31 - 1. In practice this should never get hit, except by someone deliberately trying to provke the above-described bug. Thanks to the PaX team for asking whethre this could possibly happen in some off-line discussions about using some static code checking technology they are developing to find bugs in kernel code.

The lowest levels of mballoc set all of the fields of struct ext4_free_extent except for fe_logical, since they are just trying to find the requested free set of blocks, and the logical block hasn't been set yet. This makes some static code checkers sad. Set it to various different debug values, which would be useful when debugging mballoc if these values were to ever show up due to the parts of mballoc triyng to use ac->ac_b_ex.fe_logical before it is properly upper layers of mballoc failing to properly set, usually by ext4_mb_use_best_found().

Avoid false positives by static code analysis tools such as sparse and coverity caused by the fact that we set the physical block, and then the status in the extent_status structure.

Commit 37794732 breaks the return of error codes from ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents() in ext4_ext_map_blocks(). A portion of the patch assigns that function's signed integer return value to an unsigned int. Consequently, negatively valued error codes are lost and can be treated as a bogus allocated block count.

If a file system has a large number of inodes per block group, all of the metadata blocks in a flex_bg may be larger than what can fit in a single block group. Unfortunately, ext4_alloc_group_tables() in resize.c was never tested to see if it would handle this case correctly, and there were a large number of bugs which caused the following sequence to result in a BUG_ON: kernel bug at fs/ext4/resize.c:409! ... call trace: [<ffffffff81256768>] ext4_flex_group_add+0x1448/0x1830 [<ffffffff81257de2>] ext4_resize_fs+0x7b2/0xe80 [<ffffffff8123ac50>] ext4_ioctl+0xbf0/0xf00 [<ffffffff811c111d>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x2dd/0x4b0 [<ffffffff811b9df2>] ? final_putname+0x22/0x50 [<ffffffff811c1371>] sys_ioctl+0x81/0xa0 [<ffffffff81676aa9>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b code: c8 4c 89 df e8 41 96 f8 ff 44 89 e8 49 01 c4 44 29 6d d4 0 rip [<ffffffff81254fa1>] set_flexbg_block_bitmap+0x171/0x180 This can be reproduced with the following command sequence: mke2fs -t ext4 -i 4096 /dev/vdd 1G mount -t ext4 /dev/vdd /vdd resize2fs /dev/vdd 8G To fix this, we need to make sure the right thing happens when a block group's inode table straddles two block groups, which means the following bugs had to be fixed: 1) Not clearing the BLOCK_UNINIT flag in the second block group in ext4_alloc_group_tables --- the was proximate cause of the BUG_ON. 2) Incorrectly determining how many block groups contained contiguous free blocks in ext4_alloc_group_tables(). 3) Incorrectly setting the start of the next block range to be marked in use after a discontinuity in setup_new_flex_group_blocks().

Commit a115f749 (ext4: remove wait for unwritten extent conversion from ext4_truncate) exposed a bug in ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents(). It can be triggered by xfstest generic/299 when run on a test file system created without a journal. This test continuously fallocates and truncates files to which random dio/aio writes are simultaneously performed by a separate process. The test completes successfully, but if the test filesystem is mounted with the block_validity option, a warning message stating that a logical block has been mapped to an illegal physical block is posted in the kernel log. The bug occurs when an extent is being converted to the written state by ext4_end_io_dio() and ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents() discovers a mapping for an existing uninitialized extent. Although it sets EXT4_MAP_MAPPED in map->m_flags, it fails to set map->m_pblk to the discovered physical block number. Because map->m_pblk is not otherwise initialized or set by this function or its callers, its uninitialized value is returned to ext4_map_blocks(), where it is stored as a bogus mapping in the extent status tree. Since map->m_pblk can accidentally contain illegal values that are larger than the physical size of the file system, calls to check_block_validity() in ext4_map_blocks() that are enabled if the block_validity mount option is used can fail, resulting in the logged warning message.
