2009-06-09ext4: Get rid of EXTEND_DISKSIZE flag of ext4_get_blocks_handle()Jan Kara
Get rid of EXTEND_DISKSIZE flag of ext4_get_blocks_handle(). This seems to be a relict from some old days and setting disksize in this function does not make much sense. Currently it was set only by ext4_getblk(). Since the parameter has some effect only if create == 1, it is easy to check by grepping through the sources that the three callers which end up calling ext4_getblk() with create == 1 (ext4_append, ext4_quota_write, ext4_mkdir) do the right thing and set disksize themselves.

2009-05-17ext4: Add a comprehensive block validity check to ext4_get_blocks()Theodore Ts'o
To catch filesystem bugs or corruption which could lead to the filesystem getting severly damaged, this patch adds a facility for tracking all of the filesystem metadata blocks by contiguous regions in a red-black tree. This allows quick searching of the tree to locate extents which might overlap with filesystem metadata blocks. This facility is also used by the multi-block allocator to assure that it is not allocating blocks out of the system zone, as well as by the routines used when reading indirect blocks and extents information from disk to make sure their contents are valid.

2009-05-14ext4: Define a new set of flags for ext4_get_blocks()Theodore Ts'o
The functions ext4_get_blocks(), ext4_ext_get_blocks(), and ext4_ind_get_blocks() used an ad-hoc set of integer variables used as boolean flags passed in as arguments. Use a single flags parameter and a setandard set of bitfield flags instead. This saves space on the call stack, and it also makes the code a bit more understandable.

2009-05-01ext4: fix for fiemap last-block testEric Sandeen
Carl Henrik Lunde reported and debugged this; the test for the last allocated block was comparing bytes to blocks in this test: if (logical + length - 1 == EXT_MAX_BLOCK || ext4_ext_next_allocated_block(path) == EXT_MAX_BLOCK) flags |= FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST; so any extent which ended right at 4G was stopping the extent walk. Just replacing these values with the extent block & length should fix it. Also give blksize_bits a saner type, and reverse the order of the tests to make the more likely case tested first.

2009-05-12ext4: Mark the unwritten buffer_head as mapped during write_beginAneesh Kumar K.V
Setting BH_Unwritten buffer_heads as BH_Mapped avoids multiple (unnecessary) calls to get_block() during the call to the write(2) system call. Setting BH_Unwritten buffer heads as BH_Mapped requires that the writepages() functions can handle BH_Unwritten buffer_heads. After this commit, things work as follows: ext4_ext_get_block() returns unmapped, unwritten, buffer head when called with create = 0 for prealloc space. This makes sure we handle the read path and non-delayed allocation case correctly. Even though the buffer head is marked unmapped we have valid b_blocknr and b_bdev values in the buffer_head. ext4_da_get_block_prep() called for block resrevation will now return mapped, unwritten, new buffer_head for prealloc space. This avoids multiple calls to get_block() for write to same offset. By making such buffers as BH_New, we also assure that sub-block zeroing of buffered writes happens correctly.

2009-05-13ext4: Properly initialize the buffer_head stateAneesh Kumar K.V
These struct buffer_heads are allocated on the stack (and hence are initialized with stack garbage). They are only used to call a get_blocks() function, so that's mostly OK, but b_state must be initialized to be 0 so we don't have any unexpected BH_* flags set by accident, such as BH_Unwritten or BH_Delay.

2009-05-15ext4: Fix race in ext4_inode_info.i_cached_extentTheodore Ts'o
If two CPU's simultaneously call ext4_ext_get_blocks() at the same time, there is nothing protecting the i_cached_extent structure from being used and updated at the same time. This could potentially cause the wrong location on disk to be read or written to, including potentially causing the corruption of the block group descriptors and/or inode table. This bug has been in the ext4 code since almost the very beginning of ext4's development. Fortunately once the data is stored in the page cache cache, ext4_get_blocks() doesn't need to be called, so trying to replicate this problem to the point where we could identify its root cause was *extremely* difficult. Many thanks to Kevin Shanahan for working over several months to be able to reproduce this easily so we could finally nail down the cause of the corruption.

2009-05-13ext4: Fix sub-block zeroing for writes into preallocated extentsAneesh Kumar K.V
We need to mark the buffer_head mapping preallocated space as new during write_begin. Otherwise we don't zero out the page cache content properly for a partial write. This will cause file corruption with preallocation. Now that we mark the buffer_head new we also need to have a valid buffer_head blocknr so that unmap_underlying_metadata() unmaps the correct block.

2009-03-12ext4: New inode/block allocation algorithms for flex_bg filesystemsTheodore Ts'o
The find_group_flex() inode allocator is now only used if the filesystem is mounted using the "oldalloc" mount option. It is replaced with the original Orlov allocator that has been updated for flex_bg filesystems (it should behave the same way if flex_bg is disabled). The inode allocator now functions by taking into account each flex_bg group, instead of each block group, when deciding whether or not it's time to allocate a new directory into a fresh flex_bg. The block allocator has also been changed so that the first block group in each flex_bg is preferred for use for storing directory blocks. This keeps directory blocks close together, which is good for speeding up e2fsck since large directories are more likely to look like this: debugfs: stat /home/tytso/Maildir/cur Inode: 1844562 Type: directory Mode: 0700 Flags: 0x81000 Generation: 1132745781 Version: 0x00000000:0000ad71 User: 15806 Group: 15806 Size: 1060864 File ACL: 0 Directory ACL: 0 Links: 2 Blockcount: 2072 Fragment: Address: 0 Number: 0 Size: 0 ctime: 0x499c0ff4:164961f4 -- Wed Feb 18 08:41:08 2009 atime: 0x499c0ff4:00000000 -- Wed Feb 18 08:41:08 2009 mtime: 0x49957f51:00000000 -- Fri Feb 13 09:10:25 2009 crtime: 0x499c0f57:00d51440 -- Wed Feb 18 08:38:31 2009 Size of extra inode fields: 28 BLOCKS: (0):7348651, (1-258):7348654-7348911 TOTAL: 259 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-03-10ext4: fix header check in ext4_ext_search_right() for deep extent trees.Eric Sandeen
The ext4_ext_search_right() function is confusing; it uses a "depth" variable which is 0 at the root and maximum at the leaves, but the on-disk metadata uses a "depth" (actually eh_depth) which is opposite: maximum at the root, and 0 at the leaves. The ext4_ext_check_header() function is given a depth and checks the header agaisnt that depth; it expects the on-disk semantics, but we are giving it the opposite in the while loop in this function. We should be giving it the on-disk notion of "depth" which we can get from (p_depth - depth) - and if you look, the last (more commonly hit) call to ext4_ext_check_header() does just this. Sending in the wrong depth results in (incorrect) messages about corruption: EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_ext_search_right: bad header in inode #2621457: unexpected eh_depth - magic f30a, entries 340, max 340(0), depth 1(2) http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12821 Reported-by: David Dindorp <ddi@dubex.dk> Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

This mount option is largely superfluous, and in fact the way it was implemented was buggy; if a filesystem which did not have the extents feature flag was mounted -o extents, the filesystem would attempt to create and use extents-based file even though the extents feature flag was not eabled.

2009-01-07ext4: Allow ext4 to run without a journalFrank Mayhar
A few weeks ago I posted a patch for discussion that allowed ext4 to run without a journal. Since that time I've integrated the excellent comments from Andreas and fixed several serious bugs. We're currently running with this patch and generating some performance numbers against both ext2 (with backported reservations code) and ext4 with and without a journal. It just so happens that running without a journal is slightly faster for most everything. We did iozone -T -t 4 s 2g -r 256k -T -I -i0 -i1 -i2 which creates 4 threads, each of which create and do reads and writes on a 2G file, with a buffer size of 256K, using O_DIRECT for all file opens to bypass the page cache. Results: ext2 ext4, default ext4, no journal initial writes 13.0 MB/s 15.4 MB/s 15.7 MB/s rewrites 13.1 MB/s 15.6 MB/s 15.9 MB/s reads 15.2 MB/s 16.9 MB/s 17.2 MB/s re-reads 15.3 MB/s 16.9 MB/s 17.2 MB/s random readers 5.6 MB/s 5.6 MB/s 5.7 MB/s random writers 5.1 MB/s 5.3 MB/s 5.4 MB/s So it seems that, so far, this was a useful exercise.

2008-08-19ext4: journal credit fix for the delayed allocation's writepages() functionMingming Cao
Previous delalloc writepages implementation started a new transaction outside of a loop which called get_block() to do the block allocation. Since we didn't know exactly how many blocks would need to be allocated, the estimated journal credits required was very conservative and caused many issues. With the reworked delayed allocation, a new transaction is created for each get_block(), thus we don't need to guess how many credits for the multiple chunk of allocation. We start every transaction with enough credits for inserting a single exent. When estimate the credits for indirect blocks to allocate a chunk of blocks, we need to know the number of data blocks to allocate. We use the total number of reserved delalloc datablocks; if that is too big, for non-extent files, we need to limit the number of blocks to EXT4_MAX_TRANS_BLOCKS. Code cleanup from Aneesh.

2008-08-02ext4: Fix data corruption when writing to prealloc areaAneesh Kumar K.V
Inserting an extent can cause a new entry in the already existing index block. That doesn't increase the depth of the instead. Instead it adds a new leaf block. Now with the new leaf block the path information corresponding to the logical block should be fetched from the new block. The old path will be pointing to the old leaf block. We need to recalucate the path information on extent insert even if depth doesn't change.

2008-07-11ext4: Invert the locking order of page_lock and transaction startJan Kara
This changes are needed to support data=ordered mode handling via inodes. This enables us to get rid of the journal heads and buffer heads for data buffers in the ordered mode. With the changes, during tranasaction commit we writeout the inode pages using the writepages()/writepage(). That implies we take page lock during transaction commit. This can cause a deadlock with the locking order page_lock -> jbd2_journal_start, since the jbd2_journal_start can wait for the journal_commit to happen and the journal_commit now needs to take the page lock. To avoid this dead lock reverse the locking order.

2008-07-11ext4: Use inode preallocation with -o noextentsAneesh Kumar K.V
When mballoc is enabled, block allocation for old block-based files are allocated using mballoc allocator instead of old block-based allocator. The old ext3 block reservation is turned off when mballoc is turned on. However, the in-core preallocation is not enabled for block-based/ non-extent based file block allocation. This result in performance regression, as now we don't have "reservation" ore in-core preallocation to prevent interleaved fragmentation in multiple writes workload. This patch fix this by enable per inode in-core preallocation for non extent files when mballoc is used.
