Dimitry Monakhov discovered an edge case where it was possible for the EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL flag could get cleared unnecessarily. This is true; I have a test case that can be exercised via downloading and decompressing the file: wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/ext4-testcases/eofblocks-fl-test-case.img.bz2 bunzip2 eofblocks-fl-test-case.img dd if=/dev/zero of=eofblocks-fl-test-case.img bs=1k seek=17925 bs=1k count=1 conv=notrunc However, triggering it in real life is highly unlikely since it requires an extremely fragmented sparse file with a hole in exactly the right place in the extent tree. (It actually took quite a bit of work to generate this test case.) Still, it's nice to get even extreme corner cases to be correct, so this patch makes sure that we don't clear the EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL incorrectly even in this corner case.

If the EOFBLOCK_FL flag is set when it should not be and the inode is zero length, then eh_entries is zero, and ex is NULL, so dereferencing ex to print ex->ee_block causes a kernel OOPS in ext4_ext_map_blocks(). On top of that, the error message which is printed isn't very helpful. So we fix this by printing something more explanatory which doesn't involve trying to print ex->ee_block.

At several places we modify EXT4_I(inode)->i_flags without holding i_mutex (ext4_do_update_inode, ...). These modifications are racy and we can lose updates to i_flags. So convert handling of i_flags to use bitops which are atomic. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15792Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

This saves a huge amount of stack space by avoiding unnecesary struct buffer_head's from being allocated on the stack. In addition, to make the code easier to understand, collapse and refactor ext4_get_block(), ext4_get_block_write(), noalloc_get_block_write(), into a single function.

Jack up ext4_get_blocks() and add a new function, ext4_map_blocks() which uses a much smaller structure, struct ext4_map_blocks which is 20 bytes, as opposed to a struct buffer_head, which nearly 5 times bigger on an x86_64 machine. By switching things to use ext4_map_blocks(), we can save stack space by using ext4_map_blocks() since we can avoid allocating a struct buffer_head on the stack.

Make a copy of write_cache_pages() for the benefit of ext4_da_writepages(). This allows us to simplify the code some, and will allow us to further customize the code in future patches. There are some nasty hacks in write_cache_pages(), which Linus has (correctly) characterized as vile. I've just copied it into write_cache_pages_da(), without trying to clean those bits up lest I break something in the ext4's delalloc implementation, which is a bit fragile right now. This will allow Dave Chinner to clean up write_cache_pages() in mm/page-writeback.c, without worrying about breaking ext4. Eventually write_cache_pages_da() will go away when I rewrite ext4's delayed allocation and create a general ext4_writepages() which is used for all of ext4's writeback. Until now this is the lowest risk way to clean up the core write_cache_pages() function. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>

This adds a new field in ext4_group_info to cache the largest available block range in a block group; and don't load the buddy pages until *after* we've done a sanity check on the block group. With large allocation requests (e.g., fallocate(), 8MiB) and relatively full partitions, it's easy to have no block groups with a block extent large enough to satisfy the input request length. This currently causes the loop during cr == 0 in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() to load the buddy bitmap pages for EVERY block group. That can be a lot of pages. The patch below allows us to call ext4_mb_good_group() BEFORE we load the buddy pages (although we have check again after we lock the block group).

Because we can badly over-reserve metadata when we calculate worst-case, it complicates things for quota, since we must reserve and then claim later, retry on EDQUOT, etc. Quota is also a generally smaller pool than fs free blocks, so this over-reservation hurts more, and more often. I'm of the opinion that it's not the worst thing to allow metadata to push a user slightly over quota. This simplifies the code and avoids the false quota rejections that result from worst-case speculation. This patch stops the speculative quota-charging for worst-case metadata requirements, and just charges quota when the blocks are allocated at writeout. It also is able to remove the try-again loop on EDQUOT. This patch has been tested indirectly by running the xfstests suite with a hack to mount & enable quota prior to the test. I also did a more specific test of fragmenting freespace and then doing a large delalloc write under quota; quota stopped me at the right amount of file IO, and then the writeout generated enough metadata (due to the fragmentation) that it put me slightly over quota, as expected.

To simplify metadata tracking for delalloc writes, ext4 will simply claim metadata blocks at allocation time, without first speculatively reserving the worst case and then freeing what was not used. To do this, we need a mechanism to track allocations in the quota subsystem, but potentially allow that allocation to actually go over quota. This patch adds a DQUOT_SPACE_NOFAIL flag and function variants for this purpose. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

The extents code will sometimes zero out blocks and mark them as initialized instead of splitting an extent into several smaller ones. This optimization however, causes problems if the extent is beyond i_size because fsck will complain if there are uninitialized blocks after i_size as this can not be distinguished from an inode that has an incorrect i_size field. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15742Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

One of the most contended locks in the jbd2 layer is j_state_lock when running dbench. This is especially true if using the real-time kernel with its "sleeping spinlocks" patch that replaces spinlocks with priority inheriting mutexes --- but it also shows up on large SMP benchmarks.

There was a bug reported on RHEL5 that a 10G dd on a 12G box had a very, very slow sync after that. At issue was the loop in write_cache_pages scanning all the way to the end of the 10G file, even though the subsequent call to mpage_da_submit_io would only actually write a smallish amt; then we went back to the write_cache_pages loop ... wasting tons of time in calling __mpage_da_writepage for thousands of pages we would just revisit (many times) later. Upstream it's not such a big issue for sys_sync because we get to the loop with a much smaller nr_to_write, which limits the loop. However, talking with Aneesh he realized that fsync upstream still gets here with a very large nr_to_write and we face the same problem. This patch makes mpage_add_bh_to_extent stop the loop after we've accumulated 2048 pages, by setting mpd->io_done = 1; which ultimately causes the write_cache_pages loop to break. Repeating the test with a dirty_ratio of 80 (to leave something for fsync to do), I don't see huge IO performance gains, but the reduction in cpu usage is striking: 80% usage with stock, and 2% with the below patch. Instrumenting the loop in write_cache_pages clearly shows that we are wasting time here. Eventually we need to change mpage_da_map_pages() also submit its I/O to the block layer, subsuming mpage_da_submit_io(), and then change it call ext4_get_blocks() multiple times.

Turn off issuance of discard requests if the device does not support it - similar to the action we take for barriers. This will save a little computation time if a non-discardable device is mounted with -o discard, and also makes it obvious that it's not doing what was asked at mount time ...

I have an x86_64 kernel with i386 userspace. e4defrag fails on the EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl because it is not wired up for the compat case. It seems that struct move_extent is compat save, only types with fixed widths are used: { __u32 reserved; /* should be zero */ __u32 donor_fd; /* donor file descriptor */ __u64 orig_start; /* logical start offset in block for orig */ __u64 donor_start; /* logical start offset in block for donor */ __u64 len; /* block length to be moved */ __u64 moved_len; /* moved block length */ }; Lets just wire up EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT for the compat case.

commit 672917dc ("cpuidle: menu governor: reduce latency on exit") added an optimization, where the analysis on the past idle period moved from the end of idle, to the beginning of the new idle. Unfortunately, this optimization had a bug where it zeroed one key variable for new use, that is needed for the analysis. The fix is simple, zero the variable after doing the work from the previous idle. During the audit of the code that found this issue, another issue was also found; the ->measured_us data structure member is never set, a local variable is always used instead.
