| * ext4: Wait for proper transaction commit on fsyncJan Kara2009-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We cannot rely on buffer dirty bits during fsync because pdflush can come before fsync is called and clear dirty bits without forcing a transaction commit. What we do is that we track which transaction has last changed the inode and which transaction last changed allocation and force it to disk on fsync.

| * ext4: Avoid data / filesystem corruption when write fails to copy dataJan Kara2009-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When ext4_write_begin fails after allocating some blocks or generic_perform_write fails to copy data to write, we truncate blocks already instantiated beyond i_size. Although these blocks were never inside i_size, we have to truncate the pagecache of these blocks so that corresponding buffers get unmapped. Otherwise subsequent __block_prepare_write (called because we are retrying the write) will find the buffers mapped, not call ->get_block, and thus the page will be backed by already freed blocks leading to filesystem and data corruption.

| * 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().

| * ext4: make sure directory and symlink blocks are revokedTheodore Ts'o2009-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an inode gets unlinked, the functions ext4_clear_blocks() and ext4_remove_blocks() call ext4_forget() for all the buffer heads corresponding to the deleted inode's data blocks. If the inode is a directory or a symlink, the is_metadata parameter must be non-zero so ext4_forget() will revoke them via jbd2_journal_revoke(). Otherwise, if these blocks are reused for a data file, and the system crashes before a journal checkpoint, the journal replay could end up corrupting these data blocks.

This function returns zero on success. This return value was getting returned by ext4_direct_IO(); however the file system's direct_IO function is supposed to return the number of bytes read or written on a success. By returning zero, it confused the direct I/O code into falling back to buffered I/O unnecessarily. Signed-off-by: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a 256M filesystem, doing this in a loop: xfs_io -F -f -d -c 'pwrite 0 64m' test rm -f test eventually leads to ENOSPC. (the xfs_io command does a 64m direct IO write to the file "test") As with other block allocation callers, it looks like we need to potentially retry the allocations on the initial ENOSPC.

* 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.

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Teach ext4_write_inode() and ext4_do_update_inode() about non-journal mode: If we're not using a journal, ext4_write_inode() now calls ext4_do_update_inode() (after getting the iloc via ext4_get_inode_loc()) with a new "do_sync" parameter. If that parameter is nonzero _and_ we're not using a journal, ext4_do_update_inode() calls sync_dirty_buffer() instead of ext4_handle_dirty_metadata(). This problem was found in power-fail testing, checking the amount of loss of files and blocks after a power failure when using fsync() and when not using fsync(). It turned out that using fsync() was actually worse than not doing so, possibly because it increased the likelihood that the inodes would remain unflushed and would therefore be lost at the power failure.

* | ext4: Restore wbc->range_start in ext4_da_writepages()Theodore Ts'o2009-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To solve a lock inversion problem, we implement part of the range_cyclic algorithm in ext4_da_writepages(). (See commit 2acf2c26 for more details.) As part of that change wbc->range_start was modified by ext4's writepages function, which causes its callers to get confused since they aren't expecting the filesystem to modify it. The simplest fix is to save and restore wbc->range_start in ext4_da_writepages. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
* | 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: More buffer head reference leaksCurt Wohlgemuth2009-07-17
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After the patch I posted last week regarding buffer head ref leaks in no-journal mode, I looked at all the code that uses buffer heads and searched for more potential leaks. The patch below fixes the issues I found; these can occur even when a journal is present. The change to inode.c fixes a double release if ext4_journal_get_create_access() fails. The changes to namei.c are more complicated. add_dirent_to_buf() will release the input buffer head EXCEPT when it returns -ENOSPC. There are some callers of this routine that don't always do the brelse() in the event that -ENOSPC is returned. Unfortunately, to put this fix into ext4_add_entry() required capturing the return value of make_indexed_dir() and add_dirent_to_buf().

* ext4: Fix buffer head reference leak in no-journal modeCurt Wohlgemuth2009-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We found a problem with buffer head reference leaks when using an ext4 partition without a journal. In particular, calls to ext4_forget() would not to a brelse() on the input buffer head, which will cause pages they belong to to not be reclaimable. Further investigation showed that all places where ext4_journal_forget() and ext4_journal_revoke() are called are subject to the same problem. The patch below changes __ext4_journal_forget/__ext4_journal_revoke to do an explicit release of the buffer head when the journal handle isn't valid.
