2009-08-31ext4: Add new tracepoint: trace_ext4_da_write_pages()Theodore Ts'o
Add a new tracepoint which shows the pages that will be written using write_cache_pages() by ext4_da_writepages(). Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-08-31ext4: Restore wbc->range_start in ext4_da_writepages()Theodore Ts'o
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>

2009-08-29ext4: Limit number of links that can be created by ext4_link()Theodore Ts'o
In ext4_link we need to check using EXT4_LINK_MAX, and not EXT4_DIR_LINK_MAX(), since ext4_link() is creating hard links of regular files, and not directories. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2009-08-28ext4: fix extent sanity checking code with AGGRESSIVE_TESTTheodore Ts'o
The extents sanity-checking code depends on the ext4_ext_space_*() functions returning the maximum alloable size for eh_max; however, when the debugging #ifdef AGGRESSIVE_TEST is enabled to test the extent tree handling code, this prevents a normally created ext4 filesystem from being mounted with the errors: Aug 26 15:43:50 bsd086 kernel: [ 96.070277] EXT4-fs error (device sda8): ext4_ext_check_inode: bad header/extent in inode #8: too large eh_max - magic f30a, entries 1, max 4(3), depth 0(0) Aug 26 15:43:50 bsd086 kernel: [ 96.070526] EXT4-fs (sda8): no journal found Bug reported by Akira Fujita.

2009-08-25ext4: use ext4_grpblk_t more extensivelyEric Sandeen
unsigned short is potentially too small to track blocks within a group; today it is safe due to restrictions in e2fsprogs but we have _lo / _hi bits for group blocks with the intent to go up to 32 bits, so clean this up now. There are many more places where we use unsigned/int/unsigned int to contain a group block but this should at least fix all the short types. I added a few comments to the struct ext4_group_info definition as well. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-08-25ext4: use variables not types in sizeofs() for allocationsEric Sandeen

2009-08-18ext4: Add feature set check helper for mount & remount pathsEric Sandeen
A user reported that although his root ext4 filesystem was mounting fine, other filesystems would not mount, with the: "Filesystem with huge files cannot be mounted RDWR without CONFIG_LBDAF" error on his 32-bit box built without CONFIG_LBDAF. This is because the test at mount time for this situation was not being re-checked on remount, and the normal boot process makes an ro->rw transition, so this was being missed. Refactor to make a common helper function to test the filesystem features against the type of mount request (RO vs. RW) so that we stay consistent.

2009-08-17simplify some logic in ext4_mb_normalize_requestEric Sandeen
While reading through some of the mballoc code it seems that a couple spots in the size normalization function could be streamlined. The test for non-overlapping PAs can be or'd for the start & end conditions, and the tests for adjacent PAs can be else-if'd - it's essentially independently testing: if (A + B <= C) ... if (A > C) ... These cannot both be true so it seems like the else-if might be slightly more efficient and/or informative.

2009-08-17ext4: open-code ext4_mb_update_group_infoEric Sandeen
ext4_mb_update_group_info is only called in one place, and it's extremely simple. There's no reason to have it in a separate function in a separate file as far as I can tell, it just obfuscates what's really going on. Perhaps it was intended to keep the grp->bb_* manipulation local to mballoc.c but we're already accessing other grp-> fields in balloc.c directly so this seems ok.

2009-08-17ext4: reject too-large filesystems on 32-bit kernelsEric Sandeen
ext4 will happily mount a > 16T filesystem on a 32-bit box, but this is not safe; writes to the block device will wrap past 16T and the page cache can't index past 16T (232 index * 4k pages). Adding another test to the existing "too many sectors" test should do the trick. Add a comment, a relevant return value, and fix the reference to the CONFIG_LBD(AF) option as well.

2009-08-17ext4: Fix possible deadlock between ext4_truncate() and ext4_get_blocks()Jan Kara
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.

2009-09-18ext4: Avoid group preallocation for closed filesTheodore Ts'o
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.

2009-08-09ext4: Fix bugs in mballoc's stream allocation modeTheodore Ts'o
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>

2009-08-10ext4: fix journal ref count in move_extent_par_pagePeng Tao
move_extent_par_page calls a_ops->write_begin() to increase journal handler's reference count. However, if either mext_replace_branches() or ext4_get_block fails, the increased reference count isn't decreased. This will cause a later attempt to umount of the fs to hang forever. The patch addresses the issue by calling ext4_journal_stop() if page is not NULL (which means a_ops->write_end() isn't invoked).

2009-07-17ext4: More buffer head reference leaksCurt Wohlgemuth
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().

2009-07-17ext4: Fix memory leak fix when mounting an ext4 filesystemAneesh Kumar K.V
The allocation of the ext4_group_info array was moved to a new function ext4_mb_add_group_info() in commit 5f21b0e6 so that online resize would use a common (and correct) codepath. Unfortunately, the call to the new ext4_mb_add_group_info() function was added without removing the code which originally allocated the array. This caused a memory leak each time an ext4 filesystem was mounted. The fix is simple; remove the code that did the original allocation, since it is no longer needed.

2009-09-16writeback: splice dirty inode entries to default bdi on bdi_destroy()Jens Axboe
We cannot safely ensure that the inodes are all gone at this point in time, and we must not destroy this bdi with inodes having off it. So just splice our entries to the default bdi since that one will always persist. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-16writeback: separate starting of sync vs opportunistic writebackJens Axboe
bdi_start_writeback() is currently split into two paths, one for WB_SYNC_NONE and one for WB_SYNC_ALL. Add bdi_sync_writeback() for WB_SYNC_ALL writeback and let bdi_start_writeback() handle only WB_SYNC_NONE. Push down the writeback_control allocation and only accept the parameters that make sense for each function. This cleans up the API considerably. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-16writeback: inline allocation failure handling in bdi_alloc_queue_work()Jens Axboe
This gets rid of work == NULL in bdi_queue_work() and puts the OOM handling where it belongs. Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-16writeback: use RCU to protect bdi_listJens Axboe
Now that bdi_writeback_all() no longer handles integrity writeback, it doesn't have to block anymore. This means that we can switch bdi_list reader side protection to RCU. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-16writeback: only use bdi_writeback_all() for WB_SYNC_NONE writeoutJens Axboe
Data integrity writeback must use bdi_start_writeback() and ensure that wbc->sb and wbc->bdi are set. Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
