* ext3: Improve error message that changing journaling mode on remount is not ↵Jan Kara2009-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | possible This patch makes the error message about changing journaling mode on remount more descriptive. Some people are going to hit this error now due to commit bbae8bcc49bc4d002221dab52c79a50a82e7cd1f if they configure a kernel to default to data=writeback mode. The problem happens if they have data=ordered set for the root filesystem in /etc/fstab but not in the kernel command line (and they don't use initrd). Their filesystem then gets mounted as data=writeback by kernel but then their boot fails because init scripts won't be able to remount the filesystem rw. Better error message will hopefully make it easier for them to find the error in their setup and bother us less with error reports :). Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
* ext3: Update Kconfig description of EXT3_DEFAULTS_TO_ORDEREDTheodore Ts'o2009-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old description for this configuration option was perhaps not completely balanced in terms of describing the tradeoffs of using a default of data=writeback vs. data=ordered. Despite the fact that old description very strongly recomended disabling this feature, all of the major distributions have elected to preserve the existing 'legacy' default, which is a strong hint that it perhaps wasn't telling the whole story. This revised description has been vetted by a number of ext3 developers as being better at informing the user about the tradeoffs of enabling or disabling this configuration feature.

* ext3: Get rid of extenddisksize parameter of ext3_get_blocks_handle()Jan Kara2009-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of extenddisksize parameter of ext3_get_blocks_handle(). This seems to be a relict from some old days and setting disksize in this function does not make much sence. Currently it was set only by ext3_getblk(). Since the parameter has some effect only if create == 1, it is easy to check that the three callers which end up calling ext3_getblk() with create == 1 (ext3_append, ext3_quota_write, ext3_mkdir) do the right thing and set disksize themselves.

* ext3: Fix truncation of symlinks after failed writeJan Kara2009-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Contents of long symlinks is written via standard write methods. So when the write fails, we add inode to orphan list. But symlinks don't have .truncate method defined so nobody properly removes them from the orphan list (both on disk and in memory). Fix this by calling ext3_truncate() directly instead of calling vmtruncate() (which is saner anyway since we don't need anything vmtruncate() does except from calling .truncate in these paths). We also add inode to orphan list only if ext3_can_truncate() is true (currently, it can be false for symlinks when there are no blocks allocated) - otherwise orphan list processing will complain and ext3_truncate() will not remove inode from on-disk orphan list.

* | ext3: make sure inode is deleted from orphan list after truncateJan Kara2009-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Ted pointed out, it can happen that ext3_truncate() returns without removing inode from orphan list. This way we could in some rare cases (like when we get ENOMEM from an allocation in ext3_truncate called because of failed ext3_write_begin) leave the inode on orphan list and that triggers assertion failure on umount. So make ext3_truncate() always remove inode from in-memory orphan list.

* | ext3: fix chain verification in ext3_get_blocks()Jan Kara2009-06-18
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | Chain verification in ext3_get_blocks() has been hosed since it called verify_chain(chain, NULL) which always returns success. As a result readers could in theory race with truncate. On the other hand the race probably cannot happen with the current locking scheme, since by the time ext3_truncate() is called all the pages are already removed and hence get_block() shouldn't be called on such pages...

* ext3: avoid unnecessary spinlock in critical POSIX ACL pathLinus Torvalds2009-06-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a filesystem supports POSIX ACL's, the VFS layer expects the filesystem to do POSIX ACL checks on any files not owned by the caller, and it does this for every single pathname component that it looks up. That obviously can be pretty expensive if the filesystem isn't careful about it, especially with locking. That's doubly sad, since the common case tends to be that there are no ACL's associated with the files in question. ext3 already caches the ACL data so that it doesn't have to look it up over and over again, but it does so by taking the inode->i_lock spinlock on every lookup. Which is a noticeable overhead even if it's a private lock, especially on CPU's where the serialization is expensive (eg Intel Netburst aka 'P4'). For the special case of not actually having any ACL's, all that locking is unnecessary. Even if somebody else were to be changing the ACL's on another CPU, we simply don't care - if we've seen a NULL ACL, we might as well use it. So just load the ACL speculatively without any locking, and if it was NULL, just use it. If it's non-NULL (either because we had a cached entry, or because the cache hasn't been filled in at all), it means that we'll need to get the lock and re-load it properly. This is noticeable even on Nehalem, which does locking quite well (much better than P4).

Of course, this only matters for files you don't own (the owner never needs to do the ACL checks), but that's the common case for libraries, header files, and executables. As well as for the base components of any absolute pathname, even if you are the owner of the final file. [ At some point we probably want to move this ACL caching logic entirely into the VFS layer (and only call down to the filesystem when uncached), but in the meantime this improves ext3 a bit. A similar fix to btrfs makes a much bigger difference (15x improvement in lmbench) due to broken caching. ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

We then end up with !uptodate mapped buffers. To add a bit more to the confusion, block_write_end() does not commit any data (and thus does not any mark buffers as uptodate) if we didn't succeed with copying all the data. Commit f4fc66a894546bdc88a775d0e83ad20a65210bcb (ext3: convert to new aops) missed these cases and thus we were inserting non-uptodate buffers to transaction's list which confuses JBD code and it reports IO errors, aborts a transaction and generally makes users afraid about their data ;-P. This patch fixes the problem by reorganizing ext3_..._write_end() code to first call block_write_end() to mark buffers with valid data uptodate and after that we file only uptodate buffers to transaction's lists. We also fix a problem where we could leave blocks allocated beyond i_size (i_disksize in fact) because of failed write. We now add inode to orphan list when write fails (to be safe in case we crash) and then truncate blocks beyond i_size in a separate transaction.

However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this -ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to a misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the part of the admin. The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls -l said link. This patch thus changes ext3_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE from ext3_iget(), as ext3 does for other filesystem metadata corruption; and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is detected.

* filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfsTakashi Sato2009-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and replication) while it is mounted. In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature and it would be used to get the consistent backup. If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it without a commercial filesystem. So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature. I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps. 1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl. 2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot with the storage device's feature. 3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl. 4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume or the snapshot. This patch: VFS: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they can return an error. Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion. ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed, and unlockfs always returns 0. reiserfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

| * ext3: provide function to release metadata pages under memory pressureToshiyuki Okajima2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pages in the page cache belonging to ext3 data files are released via the ext3_releasepage() function specified in the ext3 inode's address_space_ops. However, metadata blocks (such as indirect blocks, directory blocks, etc) are managed via the block device address_space_ops, and they can not be released by try_to_free_buffers() if they have a journal head attached to them. To address this, we supply a try_to_free_pages() function which calls journal_try_to_free_buffers() function to free the metadata, and which is called by the block device's blkdev_releasepage() function.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original ext3 hash algorithms assumed that variables of type char were signed, as God and K&R intended. Unfortunately, this assumption is not true on some architectures. Userspace support for marking filesystems with non-native signed/unsigned chars was added two years ago, but the kernel-side support was never added (until now).

* | ext3: tighten restrictions on inode flagsDuane Griffin2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the moment there are few restrictions on which flags may be set on which inodes. Specifically DIRSYNC may only be set on directories and IMMUTABLE and APPEND may not be set on links. Tighten that to disallow TOPDIR being set on non-directories and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set on non-regular file, non-directories. Introduces a flags masking function which masks flags based on mode and use it during inode creation and when flags are set via the ioctl to facilitate future consistency.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present INDEX is the only flag that new ext3 inodes do NOT inherit from their parent. In addition prevent the flags DIRTY, ECOMPR, IMAGIC and TOPDIR from being inherited. List inheritable flags explicitly to prevent future flags from accidentally being inherited.

* | ext3: allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock separatelyPekka Enberg2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As spotted by kmemtrace, struct ext3_sb_info is 17152 bytes on 64-bit which makes it a very bad fit for SLAB allocators. The culprit of the wasted memory is ->s_blockgroup_lock which can be as big as 16 KB when NR_CPUS >= 32. To fix that, allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock, which fits nicely in a order 2 page in the worst case, separately. This shinks down struct ext3_sb_info enough to fit a 1 KB slab cache so now we allocate 16 KB + 1 KB instead of 32 KB saving 15 KB of memory.

* fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fixNick Piggin2009-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).
