      ext4: fixed tracepoints cleanup · a9c667f8
      Lukas Czerner authored
      While creating fixed tracepoints for ext3, basically by porting them
      from ext4, I found a lot of useless retyping, wrong type usage, useless
      variable passing and other inconsistencies in the ext4 fixed tracepoint
      code.
      
      This patch cleans the fixed tracepoint code for ext4 and also simplify
      some of them.

      ext4: use FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST flag for last extent in fiemap · c03f8aa9
      Lukas Czerner authored
      Currently we are not marking the extent as the last one
      (FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST) if there is a hole at the end of the file. This is
      because we just do not check for it right now and continue searching for
      next extent. But at the point we hit the hole at the end of the file, it
      is too late.
      
      This commit adds check for the allocated block in subsequent extent and
      if there is no more extents (block = EXT_MAX_BLOCKS) just flag the
      current one as the last one.
      
      This behaviour has been spotted unintentionally by 252 xfstest, when the
      test hangs out, because of wrong loop condition. However on other
      filesystems (like xfs) it will exit anyway, because we notice the last
      extent flag and exit.
      
      With this patch xfstest 252 does not hang anymore, ext4 fiemap
      implementation still reports bad extent type in some cases, however
      this seems to be different issue.

      ext4: Fix max file size and logical block counting of extent format file · f17722f9
      Lukas Czerner authored
      Kazuya Mio reported that he was able to hit BUG_ON(next == lblock)
      in ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache() while creating a sparse file in extent
      format and fill the tail of file up to its end. We will hit the BUG_ON
      when we write the last block (2^32-1) into the sparse file.
      
      The root cause of the problem lies in the fact that we specifically set
      s_maxbytes so that block at s_maxbytes fit into on-disk extent format,
      which is 32 bit long. However, we are not storing start and end block
      number, but rather start block number and length in blocks. It means
      that in order to cover extent from 0 to EXT_MAX_BLOCK we need
      EXT_MAX_BLOCK+1 to fit into len (because we counting block 0 as well) -
      and it does not.
      
      The only way to fix it without changing the meaning of the struct
      ext4_extent members is, as Kazuya Mio suggested, to lower s_maxbytes
      by one fs block so we can cover the whole extent we can get by the
      on-disk extent format.
      
      Also in many places EXT_MAX_BLOCK is used as length instead of maximum
      logical block number as the name suggests, it is all a bit messy. So
      this commit renames it to EXT_MAX_BLOCKS and change its usage in some
      places to actually be maximum number of blocks in the extent.
      
      The bug which this commit fixes can be reproduced as follows:
      
       dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=<blocksize> count=1 seek=$((2**32-2))
       sync
       dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=<blocksize> count=1 seek=$((2**32-1))
