      ext4: don't pass entire map to check_eofblocks_fl · d002ebf1
      Eric Sandeen authored
      Since check_eofblocks_fl() only uses the m_lblk portion of the map
      structure, we may as well pass that directly, rather than passing the
      entire map, which IMHO obfuscates what parameters check_eofblocks_fl()
      cares about.  Not a big deal, but seems tidier and less confusing, to
      me.

      ext4: fix memory leak in ext4_free_branches · 1c5b9e90
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      Commit 40389687 moved a call to ext4_forget() out of
      ext4_free_branches and let ext4_free_blocks() handle calling
      bforget().  But that change unfortunately did not replace the call to
      ext4_forget() with brelse(), which was needed to drop the in-use count
      of the indirect block's buffer head, which lead to a memory leak when
      deleting files that used indirect blocks.  Fix this.
      
      Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing this out.

      ext4: remove ext4_mb_return_to_preallocation() · a5196f8c
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      This function was never implemented, except for a BUG_ON which was
      tripping when ext4 is run without a journal.  The problem is that
      although the comment asserts that "truncate (which is the only way to
      free block) discards all preallocations", ext4_free_blocks() is also
      called in various error recovery paths when blocks have been
      allocated, but for various reasons, we were not able to use those data
      blocks (for example, because we ran out of memory while trying to
      manipulate the extent tree, or some other similar situation).
      
      In addition to the fact that this function isn't implemented except
      for the incorrect BUG_ON, the single caller of this function,
      ext4_free_blocks(), doesn't use it all if the journal is enabled.
      
      So remove the (stub) function entirely for now.  If we decide it's
      better to add it back, it's only going to be useful with a relatively
      large number of code changes anyway.

      ext4: flush the i_completed_io_list during ext4_truncate · 3889fd57
      Jiaying Zhang authored
      Ted first found the bug when running 2.6.36 kernel with dioread_nolock
      mount option that xfstests #13 complained about wrong file size during fsck.
      However, the bug exists in the older kernels as well although it is
      somehow harder to trigger.
      
      The problem is that ext4_end_io_work() can happen after we have truncated an
      inode to a smaller size. Then when ext4_end_io_work() calls 
      ext4_convert_unwritten_extents(), we may reallocate some blocks that have 
      been truncated, so the inode size becomes inconsistent with the allocated
      blocks. 
      
      The following patch flushes the i_completed_io_list during truncate to reduce 
      the risk that some pending end_io requests are executed later and convert 
      already truncated blocks to initialized. 
      
      Note that although the fix helps reduce the problem a lot there may still 
      be a race window between vmtruncate() and ext4_end_io_work(). The fundamental
      problem is that if vmtruncate() is called without either i_mutex or i_alloc_sem
      held, it can race with an ongoing write request so that the io_end request is
      processed later when the corresponding blocks have been truncated.
      
      Ted and I have discussed the problem offline and we saw a few ways to fix
      the race completely:
      
      a) We guarantee that i_mutex lock and i_alloc_sem write lock are both hold 
      whenever vmtruncate() is called. The i_mutex lock prevents any new write
      requests from entering writeback and the i_alloc_sem prevents the race
      from ext4_page_mkwrite(). Currently we hold both locks if vmtruncate()
      is called from do_truncate(), which is probably the most common case.
      However, there are places where we may call vmtruncate() without holding
      either i_mutex or i_alloc_sem. I would like to ask for other people's
      opinions on what locks are expected to be held before calling vmtruncate().
      There seems a disagreement among the callers of that function.
      
      b) We change the ext4 write path so that we change the extent tree to contain 
      the newly allocated blocks and update i_size both at the same time --- when 
      the write of the data blocks is completed.
      
      c) We add some additional locking to synchronize vmtruncate() and 
      ext4_end_io_work(). This approach may have performance implications so we
      need to be careful.
      
      All of the above proposals may require more substantial changes, so
      we may consider to take the following patch as a bandaid.

      ext4: fix trimming of a single group · ca6e909f
      Jan Kara authored
      When ext4_trim_fs() is called to trim a part of a single group, the
      logic will wrongly set last block of the interval to 'len' instead
      of 'first_block + len'. Thus a shorter interval is possibly trimmed.
      Fix it.

      ext4: dynamically allocate the jbd2_inode in ext4_inode_info as necessary · 8aefcd55
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      Replace the jbd2_inode structure (which is 48 bytes) with a pointer
      and only allocate the jbd2_inode when it is needed --- that is, when
      the file system has a journal present and the inode has been opened
      for writing.  This allows us to further slim down the ext4_inode_info

      ext4: fix 32bit overflow in ext4_ext_find_goal() · ad4fb9ca
      Kazuya Mio authored
      ext4_ext_find_goal() returns an ideal physical block number that the block
      allocator tries to allocate first. However, if a required file offset is
      smaller than the existing extent's one, ext4_ext_find_goal() returns
      a wrong block number because it may overflow at
      "block - le32_to_cpu(ex->ee_block)". This patch fixes the problem.
      
      ext4_ext_find_goal() will also return a wrong block number in case
      a file offset of the existing extent is too big. In this case,
      the ideal physical block number is fixed in ext4_mb_initialize_context(),
      so it's no problem.

      ext4_issue_discard is supposed to be helper for calling discard, however
      in case that underlying device does not support discard it prints out

      can be (and is) used by others, it should not do anything and let the
      caller to handle the error case.
      
      This commit removes warning message and flag setting from
      ext4_issue_discard and use it just in place where it is really needed
      (release_blocks_on_commit). FITRIM ioctl should not set any flags nor it
      should print out warning messages, so get rid of the warning as well.
