| * pass writeback_control to ->write_inodeChristoph Hellwig2010-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This gives the filesystem more information about the writeback that is happening.

| * ext4: use ext4_get_block_write in buffer writeJiaying Zhang2010-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allocate uninitialized extent before ext4 buffer write and convert the extent to initialized after io completes. The purpose is to make sure an extent can only be marked initialized after it has been written with new data so we can safely drop the i_mutex lock in ext4 DIO read without exposing stale data. This helps to improve multi-thread DIO read performance on high-speed disks. Skip the nobh and data=journal mount cases to make things simple for now.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fallocate() may potentially instantiate blocks past EOF, depending on the flags used when it is called. e2fsck currently has a test for blocks past i_size, and it sometimes trips up - noticeably on xfstests 013 which runs fsstress.

| * ext4: Add block validity check when truncating indirect block mapped inodesTheodore Ts'o2010-01-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add checks to ext4_free_branches() to make sure a block number found in an indirect block are valid before trying to free it. If a bad block number is found, stop freeing the indirect block immediately, since the file system is corrupt and we will need to run fsck anyway. This also avoids spamming the logs, and specifically avoids driver-level "attempt to access beyond end of device" errors obscure what is really going on. If you get *really*, *really*, *really* unlucky, without this patch, a supposed indirect block containing garbage might contain a reference to a primary block group descriptor, in which case ext4_free_branches() could end up zero'ing out a block group descriptor block, and if then one of the block bitmaps for a block group described by that bg descriptor block is not in memory, and is read in by ext4_read_block_bitmap(). This function calls ext4_valid_block_bitmap(), which assumes that bg_inode_table() was validated at mount time and hasn't been modified since. Since this assumption is no longer valid, it's possible for the value (ext4_inode_table(sb, desc) - group_first_block) to go negative, which will cause ext4_find_next_zero_bit() to trigger a kernel GPF.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "offset" member in ext4_io_end holds bytes, not blocks, so ext4_lblk_t is wrong - and too small (u32).

* ext4: Calculate metadata requirements more accuratelyTheodore Ts'o2010-01-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the past, ext4_calc_metadata_amount(), and its sub-functions ext4_ext_calc_metadata_amount() and ext4_indirect_calc_metadata_amount() badly over-estimated the number of metadata blocks that might be required for delayed allocation blocks. This didn't matter as much when functions which managed the reserved metadata blocks were more aggressive about dropping reserved metadata blocks as delayed allocation blocks were written, but unfortunately they were too aggressive. This was fixed in commit 0637c6f, but as a result the over-estimation by ext4_calc_metadata_amount() would lead to reserving 2-3 times the number of pending delayed allocation blocks as potentially required metadata blocks. So if there are 1 megabytes of blocks which have been not yet been allocation, up to 3 megabytes of space would get reserved out of the user's quota and from the file system free space pool until all of the inode's data blocks have been allocated. This commit addresses this problem by much more accurately estimating the number of metadata blocks that will be required. It will still somewhat over-estimate the number of blocks needed, since it must make a worst case estimate not knowing which physical blocks will be needed, but it is much more accurate than before.

* ext4: call ext4_forget() from ext4_free_blocks()Theodore Ts'o2009-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the facility for ext4_forget() to be called from ext4_free_blocks(). This simplifies the code in a large number of places, and centralizes most of the work of calling ext4_forget() into a single place. Also fix a bug in the extents migration code; it wasn't calling ext4_forget() when releasing the indirect blocks during the conversion. As a result, if the system cashed during or shortly after the extents migration, and the released indirect blocks get reused as data blocks, the journal replay would corrupt the data blocks. With this new patch, fixing this bug was as simple as adding the EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET flags to the call to ext4_free_blocks().

* Revert "ext4: Remove journal_checksum mount option and enable it by default"Linus Torvalds2009-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit d0646f7b636d067d715fab52a2ba9c6f0f46b0d7, as requested by Eric Sandeen. It can basically cause an ext4 filesystem to miss recovery (and thus get mounted with errors) if the journal checksum does not match. Quoth Eric: "My hand-wavy hunch about what is happening is that we're finding a bad checksum on the last partially-written transaction, which is not surprising, but if we have a wrapped log and we're doing the initial scan for head/tail, and we abort scanning on that bad checksum, then we are essentially running an unrecovered filesystem. But that's hand-wavy and I need to go look at the code. We lived without journal checksums on by default until now, and at this point they're doing more harm than good, so we should revert the default-changing commit until we can fix it and do some good power-fail testing with the fixes in place."

* ext4: async direct IO for holes and fallocate supportMingming Cao2009-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For async direct IO that covers holes or fallocate, the end_io callback function now queued the convertion work on workqueue but don't flush the work rightaway as it might take too long to afford. But when fsync is called after all the data is completed, user expects the metadata also being updated before fsync returns. Thus we need to flush the conversion work when fsync() is called. This patch keep track of a listed of completed async direct io that has a work queued on workqueue. When fsync() is called, it will go through the list and do the conversion.

* ext4: Use end_io callback to avoid direct I/O fallback to buffered I/OMingming Cao2009-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the DIO VFS code passes create = 0 when writing to the middle of file. It does this to avoid block allocation for holes, so as not to expose stale data out when there is a parallel buffered read (which does not hold the i_mutex lock). Direct I/O writes into holes falls back to buffered IO for this reason. Since preallocated extents are treated as holes when doing a get_block() look up (buffer is not mapped), direct IO over fallocate also falls back to buffered IO. Thus ext4 actually silently falls back to buffered IO in above two cases, which is undesirable. To fix this, this patch creates unitialized extents when a direct I/O write into holes in sparse files, and registering an end_io callback which converts the uninitialized extent to an initialized extent after the I/O is completed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Work around problems in the writeback code to force out writebacks in larger chunks than just 4mb, which is just too small. This also works around limitations in the ext4 block allocator, which can't allocate more than 2048 blocks at a time. So we need to defeat the round-robin characteristics of the writeback code and try to write out as many blocks in one inode before allowing the writeback code to move on to another inode. We add a a new per-filesystem tunable, max_writeback_mb_bump, which caps this to a default of 128mb per inode. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Today, the ext4 allocator will happily allocate blocks past 2^32 for indirect-block files, which results in the block numbers getting truncated, and corruption ensues. This patch limits such allocations to < 2^32, and adds BUG_ONs if we do get blocks larger than that. This should address RH Bug 519471, ext4 bitmap allocator must limit blocks to < 2^32 * ext4_find_goal() is modified to choose a goal < UINT_MAX, so that our starting point is in an acceptable range. * ext4_xattr_block_set() is modified such that the goal block is < UINT_MAX, as above. * ext4_mb_regular_allocator() is modified so that the group search does not continue into groups which are too high * ext4_mb_use_preallocated() has a check that we don't use preallocated space which is too far out * ext4_alloc_blocks() and ext4_xattr_block_set() add some BUG_ONs No attempt has been made to limit inode locations to < 2^32, so we may wind up with blocks far from their inodes. Doing this much already will lead to some odd ENOSPC issues when the "lower 32" gets full, and further restricting inodes could make that even weirder. For high inodes, choosing a goal of the original, % UINT_MAX, may be a bit odd, but then we're in an odd situation anyway, and I don't know of a better heuristic.

* ext4: Fix possible deadlock between ext4_truncate() and ext4_get_blocks()Jan Kara2009-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During truncate we are sometimes forced to start a new transaction as the amount of blocks to be journaled is both quite large and hard to predict. So far we restarted a transaction while holding i_data_sem and that violates lock ordering because i_data_sem ranks below a transaction start (and it can lead to a real deadlock with ext4_get_blocks() mapping blocks in some page while having a transaction open). We fix the problem by dropping the i_data_sem before restarting the transaction and acquire it afterwards. It's slightly subtle that this works: 1) By the time ext4_truncate() is called, all the page cache for the truncated part of the file is dropped so get_block() should not be called on it (we only have to invalidate extent cache after we reacquire i_data_sem because some extent from not-truncated part could extend also into the part we are going to truncate). 2) Writes, migrate or defrag hold i_mutex so they are stopped for all the time of the truncate.

* ext4: Avoid group preallocation for closed filesTheodore Ts'o2009-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the group preallocation code tries to find a large (512) free block from which to do per-cpu group allocation for small files. The problem with this scheme is that it leaves the filesystem horribly fragmented. In the worst case, if the filesystem is unmounted and remounted (after a system shutdown, for example) we forget the fact that wee were using a particular (now-partially filled) 512 block extent. So the next time we try to allocate space for a small file, we will find *another* completely free 512 block chunk to allocate small files. Given that there are 32,768 blocks in a block group, after 64 iterations of "mount, write one 4k file in a directory, unmount", the block group will have 64 files, each separated by 511 blocks, and the block group will no longer have any free 512 completely free chunks of blocks for group preallocation space. So if we try to allocate blocks for a file that has been closed, such that we know the final size of the file, and the filesystem is not busy, avoid using group preallocation.

* ext4: Fix bugs in mballoc's stream allocation modeTheodore Ts'o2009-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logic around sbi->s_mb_last_group and sbi->s_mb_last_start was all screwed up. These fields were getting unconditionally all the time, set even when stream allocation had not taken place, and if they were being used when the file was smaller than s_mb_stream_request, which is when the allocation should _not_ be doing stream allocation. Fix this by determining whether or not we stream allocation should take place once, in ext4_mb_group_or_file(), and setting a flag which gets used in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() and ext4_mb_use_best_found(). This simplifies the code and assures that we are consistently using (or not using) the stream allocation logic. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

* ext4: naturally align struct ext4_allocation_requestEric Sandeen2009-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Ted noted, the ext4_allocation_request isn't well aligned. Looking at it with pahole we're wasting space on 64-bit arches: struct ext4_allocation_request { struct inode * inode; /* 0 8 */ ext4_lblk_t logical; /* 8 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ ext4_fsblk_t goal; /* 16 8 */ ext4_lblk_t lleft; /* 24 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ ext4_fsblk_t pleft; /* 32 8 */ ext4_lblk_t lright; /* 40 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ ext4_fsblk_t pright; /* 48 8 */ unsigned int len; /* 56 4 */ unsigned int flags; /* 60 4 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */ /* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 9 */ /* sum members: 52, holes: 3, sum holes: 12 */ }; Grouping 32-bit members together closes these holes and shrinks the structure by 12 bytes. which is important since ext4 can get on the hairy edge of stack overruns.

* ext4: teach the inode allocator to use a goal inode numberAndreas Dilger2009-06-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enhance the inode allocator to take a goal inode number as a paremeter; if it is specified, it takes precedence over Orlov or parent directory inode allocation algorithms. The extents migration function uses the goal inode number so that the extent trees allocated the migration function use the correct flex_bg. In the future, the goal inode functionality will also be used to allocate an adjacent inode for the extended attributes. Also, for testing purposes the goal inode number can be specified via /sys/fs/{dev}/inode_goal. This can be useful for testing inode allocation beyond 2^32 blocks on very large filesystems.
