The find_group_flex() function starts with best_flex as the
parent_fbg_group, which happens to have 0 inodes free. Some of the
flex groups searched have free blocks and free inodes, but the
flex_freeb_ratio is < 10, so they're skipped. Then when a group is
compared to the current "best" flex group, it does not have more free
blocks than "best", so it is skipped as well.
This continues until no flex group with free inodes is found which has
a proper ratio or which has more free blocks than the "best" group,
and we're left with a "best" group that has 0 inodes free, and we
return -ENOSPC.
We fix this by changing the logic so that if the current "best" flex
group has no inodes free, and the current one does have room, it is
promoted to the next "best."

I noticed when filling a 1T filesystem with 4 threads using the
fs_mark benchmark:
fs_mark -d /mnt/test -D 256 -n 100000 -t 4 -s 20480 -F -S 0
that I occasionally got checksum mismatch errors:
EXT4-fs error (device sdb): ext4_init_inode_bitmap: Checksum bad for group 6935
etc. I'd reliably get 4-5 of them during the run.
It appears that the problem is likely a race to init the bg's
when the uninit_bg feature is enabled.
With the patch below, which adds sb_bgl_locking around initialization,
I was able to complete several runs with no errors or warnings.

ext4_read_block_bitmap and read_inode_bitmap do essentially
the same thing, and yet they are structured quite differently.
I came across this difference while looking at doing bg locking
during bg initialization.
This patch:
* removes unnecessary casts in the error messages
* renames read_inode_bitmap to ext4_read_inode_bitmap
* and more substantially, restructures the inode bitmap
reading function to be more like the block bitmap counterpart.
The change to the inode bitmap reader simplifies the locking
to be applied in the next patch.

We've talked for a while about getting rid of any feature-
setting from the kernel; this gets rid of the code which would
set the INCOMPAT_EXTENTS flag on the first file write when mounted
as ext4[dev].
With this patch, if the extents feature is not already set on disk,
then mounting as ext4 will fall back to noextents with a warning,
and if -o extents is explicitly requested, the mount will fail,
also with warning.

This patch mostly controls the way inode are allocated in order to
make ialloc aware of flex_bg block group grouping. It achieves this
by bypassing the Orlov allocator when block group meta-data are packed
toghether through mke2fs. Since the impact on the block allocator is
minimal, this patch should have little or no effect on other block
allocation algorithms. By controlling the inode allocation, it can
basically control where the initial search for new block begins and
thus indirectly manipulate the block allocator.
This allocator favors data and meta-data locality so the disk will
gradually be filled from block group zero upward. This helps improve
performance by reducing seek time. Since the group of inode tables
within one flex_bg are treated as one giant inode table, uninitialized
block groups would not need to partially initialize as many inode
table as with Orlov which would help fsck time as the filesystem usage
goes up.

If the orphan node list includes valid, untruncatable nodes with nlink > 0
the ext4_orphan_cleanup loop which attempts to delete them will not do so,
causing it to loop forever. Fix by checking for such nodes in the
ext4_orphan_get function.

This patch enables extent-formatted normal symlinks. Using extents
format allows a symlink to refer to a block number larger than 2^32
on large filesystems. We still don't enable extent format for fast
symlinks, which are contained in the inode itself.

In addition, don't inherit EXT4_EXTENTS_FL from parent directory.
If we have a directory with extent flag set and later mount the file
system with -o noextents, the files created in that directory will also
have extent flag set but we would not have called ext4_ext_tree_init for
them. This will cause error later when we are verifying the extent header

Stop the EXT4 filesystem from using iget() and read_inode(). Replace
ext4_read_inode() with ext4_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
ext4_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.
ext4_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.

In many places variables for block group are of type int, which limits the
maximum number of block groups to 2^31. Each block group can have up to
2^15 blocks, with a 4K block size, and the max filesystem size is limited to
2^31 * (2^15 * 2^12) = 2^58 -- or 256 PB
This patch introduces a new type ext4_group_t, of type unsigned long, to
represent block group numbers in ext4.
All occurrences of block group variables are converted to type ext4_group_t.

In pass1 of e2fsck, every inode table in the fileystem is scanned and checked,
regardless of whether it is in use. This is this the most time consuming part
of the filesystem check. The unintialized block group feature can greatly
reduce e2fsck time by eliminating checking of uninitialized inodes.
With this feature, there is a a high water mark of used inodes for each block
group. Block and inode bitmaps can be uninitialized on disk via a flag in the
group descriptor to avoid reading or scanning them at e2fsck time. A checksum
of each group descriptor is used to ensure that corruption in the group
descriptor's bit flags does not cause incorrect operation.
The feature is enabled through a mkfs option
mke2fs /dev/ -O uninit_groups
A patch adding support for uninitialized block groups to e2fsprogs tools has
been posted to the linux-ext4 mailing list.
The patches have been stress tested with fsstress and fsx. In performance
tests testing e2fsck time, we have seen that e2fsck time on ext3 grows
linearly with the total number of inodes in the filesytem. In ext4 with the
uninitialized block groups feature, the e2fsck time is constant, based
solely on the number of used inodes rather than the total inode count.
Since typical ext4 filesystems only use 1-10% of their inodes, this feature can
greatly reduce e2fsck time for users. With performance improvement of 2-20
times, depending on how full the filesystem is.
The attached graph shows the major improvements in e2fsck times in filesystems
with a large total inode count, but few inodes in use.
In each group descriptor if we have
EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT set in bg_flags:
Inode table is not initialized/used in this group. So we can skip
the consistency check during fsck.
EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT set in bg_flags:
No block in the group is used. So we can skip the block bitmap
verification for this group.
We also add two new fields to group descriptor as a part of
uninitialized group patch.
__le16 bg_itable_unused; /* Unused inodes count */
__le16 bg_checksum; /* crc16(sb_uuid+group+desc) */
bg_itable_unused:
If we have EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT not set in bg_flags
then bg_itable_unused will give the offset within
the inode table till the inodes are used. This can be
used by fsck to skip list of inodes that are marked unused.
bg_checksum:
Now that we depend on bg_flags and bg_itable_unused to determine
the block and inode usage, we need to make sure group descriptor
is not corrupt. We add checksum to group descriptor to
detect corruption. If the descriptor is found to be corrupt, we
mark all the blocks and inodes in the group used.

ext[234]_get_group_desc never tests the bh argument, and only sets it if it
is passed in; it is perfectly happy with a NULL bh argument. But, many

other callers who don't use the bh.

This patch adds nanosecond timestamps for ext4. This involves adding
*time_extra fields to the ext4_inode to extend the timestamps to
64-bits. Creation time is also added by this patch.
These extended fields will fit into an inode if the filesystem was
formatted with large inodes (-I 256 or larger) and there are currently
no EAs consuming all of the available space. For new inodes we always
reserve enough space for the kernel's known extended fields, but for
inodes created with an old kernel this might not have been the case. So
this patch also adds the EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE feature
flag(ro-compat so that older kernels can't create inodes with a smaller
extra_isize). which indicates if the fields fitting inside
s_min_extra_isize are available or not. If the expansion of inodes if
unsuccessful then this feature will be disabled. This feature is only
enabled if requested by the sysadmin.
None of the extended inode fields is critical for correct filesystem
operation.

With CONFIG_LBD=n, sector_div() expands to a plain old divide. But ext4 is
_not_ passing in a sector_t as the first argument, so...
fs/built-in.o: In function `ext4_get_group_no_and_offset':
fs/ext4/balloc.c:39: undefined reference to `__umoddi3'
fs/ext4/balloc.c:41: undefined reference to `__udivdi3'
fs/built-in.o: In function `find_group_orlov':
fs/ext4/ialloc.c:278: undefined reference to `__udivdi3'
fs/built-in.o: In function `ext4_fill_super':
fs/ext4/super.c:1488: undefined reference to `__udivdi3'
fs/ext4/super.c:1488: undefined reference to `__umoddi3'
fs/ext4/super.c:1594: undefined reference to `__udivdi3'
fs/ext4/super.c:1601: undefined reference to `__umoddi3'
Fix that up by calling do_div() directly.
Also cast the arg to u64. do_div() is only defined on u64, and ext4_fsblk_t
is supposed to be opaque.
Note especially the changes to find_group_orlov(). It was attempting to do
do_div(int, unsigned long long);
which is royally screwed up. Switched it to plain old divide.
