2009-05-25ext4: remove unused function __ext4_write_dirty_metadataTheodore Ts'o
The __ext4_write_dirty_metadata() function was introduced by commit 0390131b, "ext4: Allow ext4 to run without a journal", but nothing ever used the function, either then or since. So let's remove it and save a bit of space. Cc: Frank Mayhar <fmayhar@google.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

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: Clean up ext4_get_blocks() so it does not depend on bh_result->b_stateTheodore Ts'o
The ext4_get_blocks() function was depending on the value of bh_result->b_state as an input parameter to decide whether or not update the delalloc accounting statistics by calling ext4_da_update_reserve_space(). We now use a separate flag, EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_UPDATE_RESERVE_SPACE, to requests this update, so that all callers of ext4_get_blocks() can clear map_bh.b_state before calling ext4_get_blocks() without worrying about any consistency issues.

2009-05-14ext4: Add documentation to the ext4_*get_block* functionsTheodore Ts'o
This adds more documentation to various internal functions in fs/ext4/inode.c, most notably ext4_ind_get_blocks(), ext4_da_get_block_write(), ext4_da_get_block_prep(), ext4_normal_get_block_write(). In addition, the static function ext4_normal_get_block_write() has been renamed noalloc_get_block_write(), since it is used in many places far beyond ext4_normal_writepage(). Plenty of warnings have been added to the noalloc_get_block_write() function, since the way it is used is amazingly fragile. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
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.

2009-05-01ext4: Don't avoid using BLOCK_UNINIT block groups in mballocTheodore Ts'o
By avoiding the use of not-yet-used block groups (i.e., block groups with the BLOCK_UNINIT flag), mballoc had a tendency to create large files with large non-contiguous gaps. In addition avoiding the use of new block groups had a tendency to push regular file data into the first block group in a flex_bg group, which slows down the speed of e2fsck pass 2, since it has a tendency to seek much more. For example: Before Patch After Patch Time in seconds Time in seconds Real / User/ Sys MB/s Real / User/ Sys MB/s Pass 1 8.52 / 2.21 / 0.46 20.43 8.84 / 4.97 / 1.11 19.68 Pass 2 21.16 / 1.02 / 1.86 11.30 6.54 / 1.77 / 1.78 36.39 Pass 3 0.01 / 0.00 / 0.00 139.00 0.01 / 0.01 / 0.00 128.90 Pass 4 0.16 / 0.15 / 0.00 0.00 0.17 / 0.17 / 0.00 0.00 Pass 5 2.52 / 1.99 / 0.09 0.79 2.31 / 1.78 / 0.06 0.86 Total 32.40 / 5.11 / 2.49 12.81 17.99 / 8.75 / 2.98 23.01 This was on a sample 80 gig root filesystem which was approximately 50% full. Note the improved e2fsck pass 2 performance, by over a factor of 3, due to a decreased number of seeks. (The total amount of I/O in pass 2 was unchanged; the layout of the directory blocks was simply much better from e2fsck's's perspective.) Other changes as a result of this patch on this sample filesystem: Before Patch After Patch # of non-contig files 762 779 # of non-contig directories 571 570 # of BLOCK_UNINIT bg's 307 293 # of INODE_UNINIT bg's 503 503 Out of 640 block groups, of which 333 were in use, this patch caused an extra 14 block groups to be utilized. The number of non-contiguous files did go up slightly, but when measured against the 99.9% of the files (603,154) which were contiguously allocated, this is pretty insignificant.

2009-04-25ext4: Replace lock/unlock_super() with an explicit lock for resizingTheodore Ts'o

2009-05-01ext4: ext4_mark_recovery_complete() doesn't need to use lock_superTheodore Ts'o
The function ext4_mark_recovery_complete() is called from two call paths: either (a) while mounting the filesystem, in which case there's no danger of any other CPU calling write_super() until the mount is completed, and (b) while remounting the filesystem read-write, in which case the fs core has already locked the superblock. This also allows us to take out a very vile unlock_super()/lock_super() pair in ext4_remount(). Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-04-25ext4: Remove outdated comment about lock_super()Theodore Ts'o
ext4_fill_super() is no longer called by read_super(), and it is no longer called with the superblock locked. The unlock_super()/lock_super() is no longer present, so this comment is entirely superfluous. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-05-01ext4: Avoid races caused by on-line resizing and SMP memory reorderingTheodore Ts'o
Ext4's on-line resizing adds a new block group and then, only at the last step adjusts s_groups_count. However, it's possible on SMP systems that another CPU could see the updated the s_group_count and not see the newly initialized data structures for the just-added block group. For this reason, it's important to insert a SMP read barrier after reading s_groups_count and before reading any (for example) the new block group descriptors allowed by the increased value of s_groups_count. Unfortunately, we rather blatently violate this locking protocol documented in fs/ext4/resize.c. Fortunately, (1) on-line resizes happen relatively rarely, and (2) it seems rare that the filesystem code will immediately try to use just-added block group before any memory ordering issues resolve themselves. So apparently problems here are relatively hard to hit, since ext3 has been vulnerable to the same issue for years with no one apparently complaining. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-05-01ext4: Use separate super_operations structure for no_journal filesystemsTheodore Ts'o
By using a separate super_operations structure for filesystems that have and don't have journals, we can simply ext4_write_super() --- which is only needed when no journal is present --- and ext4_freeze(), ext4_unfreeze(), and ext4_sync_fs(), which are only needed when the journal is present. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-04-30ext4: Fix and simplify s_dirt handlingTheodore Ts'o
The s_dirt flag wasn't completely handled correctly, but it didn't really matter when journalling was enabled. It turns out that when ext4 runs without a journal, we don't clear s_dirt in places where we should have, with the result that the high-level write_super() function was writing the superblock when it wasn't necessary. So we fix this by making ext4_commit_super() clear the s_dirt flag, and removing many of the other places where s_dirt is manipulated. When journalling is enabled, the s_dirt flag might be left set more often, but s_dirt really doesn't matter when journalling is enabled. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-05-01ext4: Simplify ext4_commit_super()'s function signatureTheodore Ts'o

2009-04-27ext4: Fallback to vmalloc if kmalloc can't allocate s_flex_groups arrayTheodore Ts'o
For very large filesystems, the s_flex_groups array can get quite big. For example, a filesystem that can be resized up to 16TB will have 8192 flex groups (assuming the default flex_bg size of 16), so the array is 96k, which is *very* marginal for kmalloc(). On the other hand, a 160GB filesystem without the resize_inode feature will only require 960 bytes. So we try to allocate the array first using kmalloc(), and if that fails, we'll try to use vmalloc() instead. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
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.

2009-05-12vfs: Add BUG_ON for delayed and unwritten flags in submit_bh()Aneesh Kumar K.V

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.

2009-05-29flat: fix data sections alignmentOskar Schirmer
The flat loader uses an architecture's flat_stack_align() to align the stack but assumes word-alignment is enough for the data sections. However, on the Xtensa S6000 we have registers up to 128bit width which can be used from userspace and therefor need userspace stack and data-section alignment of at least this size. This patch drops flat_stack_align() and uses the same alignment that is required for slab caches, ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN, or wordsize if it's not defined by the architecture. It also fixes m32r which was obviously kaput, aligning an uninitialized stack entry instead of the stack pointer.
