      ext4: Don't call sb_issue_discard() in ext4_free_blocks() · b56ff9d3
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      Commit 5c521830 (ext4: Support discard requests when running in
      no-journal mode) attempts to add sb_issue_discard() for data blocks
      (in data=writeback mode) and in no-journal mode.  Unfortunately, this
      no longer works, because in commit dd3932ed (block: remove
      BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT), sb_issue_discard() only presents a synchronous
      interface, and there are times when we call ext4_free_blocks() when we
      are are holding a spinlock, or are otherwise in an atomic context.
      
      For now, I've removed the call to sb_issue_discard() to prevent a
      deadlock or (if spinlock debugging is enabled) failures like this:

      ext4: handle writeback of inodes which are being freed · f7ad6d2e
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      The following BUG can occur when an inode which is getting freed when
      it still has dirty pages outstanding, and it gets deleted (in this
      because it was the target of a rename).  In ordered mode, we need to
      make sure the data pages are written just in case we crash before the
      rename (or unlink) is committed.  If the inode is being freed then
      when we try to igrab the inode, we end up tripping the BUG_ON at
      fs/ext4/page-io.c:146.
      
      To solve this problem, we need to keep track of the number of io
      callbacks which are pending, and avoid destroying the inode until they
      have all been completed.  That way we don't have to bump the inode
      count to keep the inode from being destroyed; an approach which
      doesn't work because the count could have already been dropped down to
      zero before the inode writeback has started (at which point we're not
      allowed to bump the count back up to 1, since it's already started
      getting freed).
      
      Thanks to Dave Chinner for suggesting this approach, which is also
      used by XFS.
