When ext4_bread() returns NULL and err is set to zero, this means there is no phyical block mapped to the specified logical block number. (Previous to commit 90b0a973, err was uninitialized in this case, which caused other problems.) The directory handling routines use ext4_bread() in many places, the fact that ext4_bread() now returns NULL with err set to zero could cause problems since a number of these functions will simply return the value of err if the result of ext4_bread() was the NULL pointer, causing the caller of the function to think that the function was successful. Since directories should never contain holes, this case can only happen if the file system is corrupted. This commit audits all of the callers of ext4_bread(), and makes sure they do the right thing if a hole in a directory is found by ext4_bread(). Some ext4_bread() callers did not need any changes either because they already had its own hole detector paths.

ext4 users of data=journal mode with blocksize < pagesize were occasionally hitting assertion failure in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() checking whether the transaction has at least as many credits reserved as buffers attached. The core of the problem is that when a file gets truncated, buffers that still need checkpointing or that are attached to the committing transaction are left with buffer_mapped set. When this happens to buffers beyond i_size attached to a page stradding i_size, subsequent write extending the file will see these buffers and as they are mapped (but underlying blocks were freed) things go awry from here. The assertion failure just coincidentally (and in this case luckily as we would start corrupting filesystem) triggers due to journal_head not being properly cleaned up as well. We fix the problem by unmapping buffers if possible (in lots of cases we just need a buffer attached to a transaction as a place holder but it must not be written out anyway). And in one case, we just have to bite the bullet and wait for transaction commit to finish. CC: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fusionio.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

Code tracking when transaction needs to be committed on fdatasync(2) forgets to handle a situation when only inode's i_size is changed. Thus in such situations fdatasync(2) doesn't force transaction with new i_size to disk and that can result in wrong i_size after a crash. Fix the issue by updating inode's i_datasync_tid whenever its size is updated.

Non-full list of bugs: 1) uninitialized extent optimization does not hold page's lock, and simply replace brunches after that writeback code goes crazy because block mapping changed under it's feets kernel BUG at fs/ext4/inode.c:1434! ( 288'th xfstress) 2) uninitialized extent may became initialized right after we drop i_data_sem, so extent state must be rechecked 3) Locked pages goes uptodate via following sequence: ->readpage(page); lock_page(page); use_that_page(page) But after readpage() one may invalidate it because it is uptodate and unlocked (reclaimer does that) As result kernel bug at include/linux/buffer_head.c:133! 4) We call write_begin() with already opened stansaction which result in following deadlock: ->move_extent_per_page() ->ext4_journal_start()-> hold journal transaction ->write_begin() ->ext4_da_write_begin() ->ext4_nonda_switch() ->writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() --> will wait for journal_stop() 5) try_to_release_page() may fail and it does fail if one of page's bh was pinned by journal 6) If we about to change page's mapping we MUST hold it's lock during entire remapping procedure, this is true for both pages(original and donor one) Fixes: - Avoid (1) and (2) simply by temproraly drop uninitialized extent handling optimization, this will be reimplemented later. - Fix (3) by manually forcing page to uptodate state w/o dropping it's lock - Fix (4) by rearranging existing locking: from: journal_start(); ->write_begin to: write_begin(); journal_extend() - Fix (5) simply by checking retvalue - Fix (6) by locking both (original and donor one) pages during extent swap with help of mext_page_double_lock() Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

When performing an online resize, we add a bunch of groups at one time in ext4_flex_group_add, so in most cases a lot of group descriptors will be in the same group block. But in the end of this function, update_backups will be called for every group descriptor and the same block will be copied and journalled again and again. It is really a waste. Fix things so we only update a particular bg descriptor block once and skip subsequent updates of the same block.

The update_backups() function is used to backup all the metadata blocks, so we should not take it for granted that 'data' is pointed to a super block and use ext4_superblock_csum_set to calculate the checksum there. In case where the data is a group descriptor block, it will corrupt the last group descriptor, and then e2fsck will complain about it it. As all the metadata checksums should already be OK when we do the backup, remove the wrong ext4_superblock_csum_set and it should be just fine.

In ext4_nonda_switch(), if the file system is getting full we used to call writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle(). The problem is that we can be holding i_mutex already, and this causes a potential deadlock when writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() when it tries to take s_umount. (See lockdep output below). As it turns out we don't need need to hold s_umount; the fact that we are in the middle of the write(2) system call will keep the superblock pinned. Unfortunately writeback_inodes_sb() checks to make sure s_umount is taken, and the VFS uses a different mechanism for making sure the file system doesn't get unmounted out from under us. The simplest way of dealing with this is to just simply grab s_umount using a trylock, and skip kicking the writeback flusher thread in the very unlikely case that we can't take a read lock on s_umount without blocking. Also, we now check the cirteria for kicking the writeback thread before we decide to whether to fall back to non-delayed writeback, so if there are any outstanding delayed allocation writes, we try to get them resolved as soon as possible.

Do not iterate over data blocks scanning for bh's to forget as they're never exist. This improves time taken by unlink / truncate syscall. Tested by continuously truncating file that is being written by dd. Another test is rm -rf of linux tree while tar unpacks it. With ordered data mode condition unlikely(!tbh) was always met in ext4_free_blocks. With journal data mode tbh was found only few times, so optimisation is also possible.

Commit 1c6bd717 introduced a regression where an online resize operation which did not change the number of block groups would fail, i.e: mke2fs -t /dev/vdc 60000 mount /dev/vdc resize2fs /dev/vdc 60001 This was due to a bug in the logic regarding when to try converting the filesystem to use meta_bg. Also fix up a number of other minor issues with the online resizing code: (a) Fix a sparse warning; (b) only check to make sure the device is large enough once, instead of multiple times through the resize loop.

This is a revert of commit b56ff9d3, which removed the call to ext4_issue_discard() to fix a BUG reported because ext4_issue_discard() was being called from inside a block group spinlock. As it turns out this bug had already been fixed by Lukas Czerner in commit 53fdcf99 by the simple expedient of moving when we call ext4_issue_discard() outside the spinlock. So it should be safe to re-enable this functionality, which I tested by putting an BUG_ON(in_atomic) just after the restored callsite to ext4_issue_discard().

htree_dirblock_to_tree() declares a non-initialized 'err' variable, which is passed as a reference to another functions expecting them to set this variable with their error codes. It's passed to ext4_bread(), which then passes it to ext4_getblk(). If ext4_map_blocks() returns 0 due to a lookup failure, leaving the ext4_getblk() buffer_head uninitialized, it will make ext4_getblk() return to ext4_bread() without initialize the 'err' variable, and ext4_bread() will return to htree_dirblock_to_tree() with this variable still uninitialized. htree_dirblock_to_tree() will pass this variable with garbage back to ext4_htree_fill_tree(), which expects a number of directory entries added to the rb-tree. which, in case, might return a fake non-zero value due the garbage left in the 'err' variable, leading the kernel to an Oops in ext4_dx_readdir(), once this is expecting a filled rb-tree node, when in turn it will have a NULL-ed one, causing an invalid page request when trying to get a fname struct from this NULL-ed rb-tree node in this line: fname = rb_entry(info->curr_node, struct fname, rb_hash); The patch itself initializes the err variable in htree_dirblock_to_tree() to avoid usage mistakes by the called functions, and also fix ext4_getblk() to return a initialized 'err' variable when ext4_map_blocks() fails a lookup.

Previously we allocated the s_group_info array with enough space for any future possible growth of the file system via online resize. This is unfortunate because it wastes memory, and it doesn't work for the meta_bg scheme, since there is no limit based on the number of reserved gdt blocks.

Previously, we allocated the s_flex_groups array to the maximum size that the file system could be resized. There was two problems with this approach. First, it wasted memory in the common case where the file system was not resized. Secondly, once we start allowing online resizing using the meta_bg scheme, there is no maximum size that the file system can be resized. So instead, we need to grow the s_flex_groups at inline resize time. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
