      jbd2: trace when lock_buffer in do_get_write_access takes a long time · f783f091
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      While investigating interactivity problems it was clear that processes
      sometimes stall for long periods of times if an attempt is made to
      lock a buffer which is undergoing writeback.  It would stall in
      a trace looking something like

      ext4: fix readdir error in case inline_data+^dir_index. · c4d8b023
      Tao Ma authored
      Zach reported a problem that if inline data is enabled, we don't
      tell the difference between the offset of '.' and '..'. And a
      getdents will fail if the user only want to get '.'. And what's
      worse, we may meet with duplicate dir entries as the offset
      for inline dir and non-inline one is quite different.
      
      This patch just try to resolve this problem if dir_index
      is disabled. In this case, f_pos is the real offset with
      the dir block, so for inline dir, we just pretend as if
      we are a dir block and returns the offset like a norml
      dir block does.

      Tao Ma authored
      Zach reported a problem that if inline data is enabled, we don't
      tell the difference between the offset of '.' and '..'. And a
      getdents will fail if the user only want to get '.' and what's worse,
      if there is a conversion happens when the user calls getdents
      many times, he/she may get the same entry twice.
      
      In theory, a dir block would also fail if it is converted to a
      hashed-index based dir since f_pos will become a hash value, not the
      real one, but it doesn't happen.  And a deep investigation shows that
      we uses a hash based solution even for a normal dir if the dir_index
      feature is enabled.
      
      So this patch just adds a new htree_inlinedir_to_tree for inline dir,
      and if we find that the hash index is supported, we will do like what
      we do for a dir block.

      ext4: move quota initialization out of inode allocation transaction · eb9cc7e1
      Jan Kara authored
      Inode allocation transaction is pretty heavy (246 credits with quotas
      and extents before previous patch, still around 200 after it).  This is
      mostly due to credits required for allocation of quota structures
      (credits there are heavily overestimated but it's difficult to make
      better estimates if we don't want to wire non-trivial assumptions about
      quota format into filesystem).
      
      So move quota initialization out of allocation transaction. That way
      transaction for quota structure allocation will be started only if we
      need to look up quota structure on disk (rare) and furthermore it will
      be started for each quota type separately, not for all of them at once.
      This reduces maximum transaction size to 34 is most cases and to 73 in
      the worst case.
      
      [ Modified by tytso to clean up the cleanup paths for error handling.
        Also use a separate call to ext4_std_error() for each failure so it
        is easier for someone who is debugging a problem in this function to
        determine which function call failed. ]

      ext4: implementation of a new ioctl called EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT · 393d1d1d
      Dr. Tilmann Bubeck authored
      Add a new ioctl, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT which swaps i_blocks and
      associated attributes (like i_blocks, i_size, i_flags, ...) from the
      specified inode with inode EXT4_BOOT_LOADER_INO (#5). This is
      typically used to store a boot loader in a secure part of the
      filesystem, where it can't be changed by a normal user by accident.
      The data blocks of the previous boot loader will be associated with
      the given inode.
      
      This usercode program is a simple example of the usage:
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
        int fd;
        int err;
      
        if ( argc != 2 ) {
          printf("usage: ext4-swap-boot-inode FILE-TO-SWAP\n");
          exit(1);
        }
      
        fd = open(argv[1], O_WRONLY);
        if ( fd < 0 ) {
          perror("open");
          exit(1);
        }
      
        err = ioctl(fd, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT);
        if ( err < 0 ) {
          perror("ioctl");
          exit(1);
        }
      
        close(fd);
        exit(0);
      }

      ext4: try to prepend extent to the existing one · be8981be
      Lukas Czerner authored
      Currently when inserting extent in ext4_ext_insert_extent() we would
      only try to to see if we can append new extent to the found extent. If
      we can not, then we proceed with adding new extent into the extent tree,
      but then possibly merging it back again.
      
      We can avoid this situation by trying to append and prepend new extent
      to the existing ones. However since the new extent can be on either
      sides of the existing extent, we have to pick the right extent to try to
      append/prepend to.
      
      This patch adds the conditions to pick the right extent to
      append/prepend to and adds the actual prepending condition as well. This
      will also eliminate the need to use "reserved" block for possibly
      growing extent tree.

      ext4: Transfer initialized block to right neighbor if possible · bc2d9db4
      Lukas Czerner authored
      Currently when converting extent to initialized we attempt to transfer
      initialized block to the left neighbour if possible when certain
      criteria are met. However we do not attempt to do the same for the
      right neighbor.
      
      This commit adds the possibility to transfer initialized block to the
      right neighbour if:
      
      1. We're not converting the whole extent
      2. Both extents are stored in the same extent tree node
      3. Right neighbor is initialized
      4. Right neighbor is logically abutting the current one
      5. Right neighbor is physically abutting the current one
      6. Right neighbor would not overflow the length limit
      
      This is basically the same logic as with transferring to the left. This
      will gain us some performance benefits since it is faster than inserting
      extent and then merging it.
      
      It would also prevent some situation in delalloc patch when we might run
      out of metadata reservation. This is due to the fact that we would
      attempt to split the extent first (possibly allocating new metadata
      block) even though we did not counted for that because it can (and will)
      be merged again. This commit fix that scenario, because we no longer
      need to split the extent in such case.

      ext4: introduce ext4_get_group_number() · bd86298e
      Lukas Czerner authored
      Currently on many places in ext4 we're using
      ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() even though we're only interested in
      knowing the block group of the particular block, not the offset within
      the block group so we can use more efficient way to compute block
      group.
      
      This patch introduces ext4_get_group_number() which computes block
      group for a given block much more efficiently. Use this function
      instead of ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() everywhere where we're only
      interested in knowing the block group.

      ext4: make ext4_block_in_group() much more efficient · 68911009
      Lukas Czerner authored
      Currently in when getting the block group number for a particular
      block in ext4_block_in_group() we're using
      ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() which uses do_div() to get the block
      group and the remainer which is offset within the group.
      
      We don't need all of that in ext4_block_in_group() as we only need to
      figure out the group number.
      
      This commit changes ext4_block_in_group() to calculate group number
      directly. This shows as a big improvement with regards to cpu
      utilization. Measuring fallocate -l 15T on fresh file system with perf
      showed that 23% of cpu time was spend in the
      ext4_get_group_no_and_offset(). With this change it completely
      disappears from the list only bumping the occurrence of
      ext4_init_block_bitmap() which is the biggest user of
      ext4_block_in_group() by 4%. As the result of this change on my system
      the fallocate call was approx. 10% faster.
      
      However since there is '-g' option in mkfs which allow us setting
      different groups size (mostly for developers) I've introduced new per
      file system flag whether we have a standard block group size or
      not. The flag is used to determine whether we can use the bit shift
      optimization or not.

      This patch fix the issue as follows:
      - ext4_journal_commit_callback() make list truly traversial safe
        simply by always starting from list_head
      - fix race between two ext4_journal_callback_del() and
        ext4_journal_callback_try_del()
