Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o: "Lots of bug fixes, cleanups and optimizations. In the bug fixes category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or ia64 systems.) In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc file systems. In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the write submission code path. We also improved error checking and added a few sanity checks. In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve mention. The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode. This allows writes to be submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block queue). Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the i_es_lru spinlock. Other optimizations include some changes to reduce CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily." * tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4: (86 commits) ext4: optimize starting extent in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() jbd2: invalidate handle if jbd2_journal_restart() fails ext4: translate flag bits to strings in tracepoints ext4: fix up error handling for mpage_map_and_submit_extent() jbd2: fix theoretical race in jbd2__journal_restart ext4: only zero partial blocks in ext4_zero_partial_blocks() ext4: check error return from ext4_write_inline_data_end() ext4: delete unnecessary C statements ext3,ext4: don't mess with dir_file->f_pos in htree_dirblock_to_tree() jbd2: move superblock checksum calculation to jbd2_write_superblock() ext4: pass inode pointer instead of file pointer to punch hole ext4: improve free space calculation for inline_data ext4: reduce object size when !CONFIG_PRINTK ext4: improve extent cache shrink mechanism to avoid to burn CPU time ext4: implement error handling of ext4_mb_new_preallocation() ext4: fix corruption when online resizing a fs with 1K block size ext4: delete unused variables ext4: return FIEMAP_EXTENT_UNKNOWN for delalloc extents jbd2: remove debug dependency on debug_fs and update Kconfig help text jbd2: use a single printk for jbd_debug() ...

When sync does it's WB_SYNC_ALL writeback, it issues data Io and then immediately waits for IO completion. This is done in the context of the flusher thread, and hence completely ties up the flusher thread for the backing device until all the dirty inodes have been synced. On filesystems that are dirtying inodes constantly and quickly, this means the flusher thread can be tied up for minutes per sync call and hence badly affect system level write IO performance as the page cache cannot be cleaned quickly. We already have a wait loop for IO completion for sync(2), so cut this out of the flusher thread and delegate it to wait_sb_inodes(). Hence we can do rapid IO submission, and then wait for it all to complete.

If user requests many data writes and fsync together, the last updated i_size should be stored to the inode block consistently. But, previous write_end just marks the inode as dirty and doesn't update its metadata into its inode block. After that, fsync just writes the inode block with newly updated data index excluding inode metadata updates. So, this patch introduces write_end in which updates inode block too when the i_size is changed. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>

This patch removes check_prefree_segments initially designed to enhance the performance by narrowing the range of LBA usage across the whole block device. When allocating a new segment, previous f2fs tries to find proper prefree segments, and then, if finds a segment, it reuses the segment for further data or node block allocation. However, I found that this was totally wrong approach since the prefree segments have several data or node blocks that will be used by the roll-forward mechanism operated after sudden-power-off. Let's assume the following scenario. /* write 8MB with fsync */ for (i = 0; i < 2048; i++) { offset = i * 4096; write(fd, offset, 4KB); fsync(fd); } In this case, naive segment allocation sequence will be like: data segment: x, x+1, x+2, x+3 node segment: y, y+1, y+2, y+3. But, if we can reuse prefree segments, the sequence can be like: data segment: x, x+1, y, y+1 node segment: y, y+1, y+2, y+3. Because, y, y+1, and y+2 became prefree segments one by one, and those are reused by data allocation. After conducting this workload, we should consider how to recover the latest inode with its data. If we reuse the prefree segments such as y or y+1, we lost the old node blocks so that f2fs even cannot start roll-forward recovery. Therefore, I suggest that we should remove reusing prefree segments. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>

Optimize the while loop condition Since this condition will always be true and while loop will be terminated by the following condition in code: if (segno >= TOTAL_SEGS(sbi)) break; Hence we can replace the while loop condition with while(1) instead of always checking for segno to be less than Total segs. Also we do not need to use TOTAL_SEGS() everytime. We can store this value in a local variable since this value is constant.

Both hole punch and truncate use ext4_ext_rm_leaf() for removing blocks. Currently we choose the last extent as the starting point for removing blocks: ex = EXT_LAST_EXTENT(eh); This is OK for truncate but for hole punch we can optimize the extent selection as the path is already initialized. We could use this information to select proper starting extent. The code change in this patch will not affect truncate as for truncate path[depth].p_ext will always be NULL.

If jbd2_journal_restart() fails the handle will have been disconnected from the current transaction. In this situation, the handle must not be used for for any jbd2 function other than jbd2_journal_stop(). Enforce this with by treating a handle which has a NULL transaction pointer as an aborted handle, and issue a kernel warning if jbd2_journal_extent(), jbd2_journal_get_write_access(), jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), etc. is called with an invalid handle. This commit also fixes a bug where jbd2_journal_stop() would trip over a kernel jbd2 assertion check when trying to free an invalid handle. Also move the responsibility of setting current->journal_info to start_this_handle(), simplifying the three users of this function.

The function mpage_released_unused_page() must only be called once; otherwise the kernel will BUG() when the second call to mpage_released_unused_page() tries to unlock the pages which had been unlocked by the first call. Also restructure the error handling so that we only give up on writing the dirty pages in the case of ENOSPC where retrying the allocation won't help. Otherwise, a transient failure, such as a kmalloc() failure in calling ext4_map_blocks() might cause us to give up on those pages, leading to a scary message in /var/log/messages plus data loss.

Once we decrement transaction->t_updates, if this is the last handle holding the transaction from closing, and once we release the t_handle_lock spinlock, it's possible for the transaction to commit and be released. In practice with normal kernels, this probably won't happen, since the commit happens in a separate kernel thread and it's unlikely this could all happen within the space of a few CPU cycles. On the other hand, with a real-time kernel, this could potentially happen, so save the tid found in transaction->t_tid before we release t_handle_lock. It would require an insane configuration, such as one where the jbd2 thread was set to a very high real-time priority, perhaps because a high priority real-time thread is trying to read or write to a file system. But some people who use real-time kernels have been known to do insane things, including controlling laser-wielding industrial robots. :-) Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

Now we maintain an proper in-order LRU list in ext4 to reclaim entries from extent status tree when we are under heavy memory pressure. For keeping this order, a spin lock is used to protect this list. But this lock burns a lot of CPU time. We can use the following steps to trigger it. % cd /dev/shm % dd if=/dev/zero of=ext4-img bs=1M count=2k % mkfs.ext4 ext4-img % mount -t ext4 -o loop ext4-img /mnt % cd /mnt % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do truncate -s 64g $i; done % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do cp $i /dev/null &; done % perf record -a -g % perf report This commit tries to fix this problem. Now a new member called i_touch_when is added into ext4_inode_info to record the last access time for an inode. Meanwhile we never need to keep a proper in-order LRU list. So this can avoid to burns some CPU time. When we try to reclaim some entries from extent status tree, we use list_sort() to get a proper in-order list. Then we traverse this list to discard some entries. In ext4_sb_info, we use s_es_last_sorted to record the last time of sorting this list. When we traverse the list, we skip the inode that is newer than this time, and move this inode to the tail of LRU list. When the head of the list is newer than s_es_last_sorted, we will sort the LRU list again. In this commit, we break the loop if s_extent_cache_cnt == 0 because that means that all extents in extent status tree have been reclaimed. Meanwhile in this commit, ext4_es_{un}register_shrinker()'s prototype is changed to save a local variable in these functions.

If memory allocation in ext4_mb_new_group_pa() is failed, it returns error code, ext4_mb_new_preallocation() propages it, but ext4_mb_new_blocks() ignores it. An observed result was: - allocation fail means ext4_mb_new_group_pa() does not update ext4_allocation_context; - ext4_mb_new_blocks() sets ext4_allocation_request->len (ar->len = ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len;) to number of blocks preallocated (512) instead of number of blocks requested (1); - that activates update cycle in ext4_splice_branch(): for (i = 1; i < blks; i++) <-- blks is 512 instead of 1 here *(where->p + i) = cpu_to_le32(current_block++); - it iterates 511 times and corrupts a chunk of memory including inode structure; - page fault happens at EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb) in ext4_mark_inode_dirty(); - system hangs with 'scheduling while atomic' BUG.

Please pull those two fixes. One for a simple EEH address cache initialization issue. The other one is a patch from Guenter that I had originally planned to put in 3.11 but which happens to also fix that other regression (a kernel oops during EEH error handling and possibly hotplug). With those two, the couple of test machines I've hammered with error injection are remaining up now. EEH appears to still fail to recover on some devices, so there is another problem that Gavin is looking into but at least it's no longer crashing the kernel." * 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: powerpc/pci: Improve device hotplug initialization powerpc/eeh: Add eeh_dev to the cache during boot

Due to recent changes and expecations of proper cpu bindings, there are now cases for many of the in-tree devicetrees where a WARN() will hit on boot due to badly formatted /cpus nodes. Downgrade this to a pr_warn() to be less alarmist, since it's not a new problem. Tested on Arndale, Cubox, Seaboard and Panda ES. Panda hits the WARN without this, the others do not.

Commit 37f02195 (powerpc/pci: fix PCI-e devices rescan issue on powerpc platform) fixes a problem with interrupt and DMA initialization on hot plugged devices. With this commit, interrupt and DMA initialization for hot plugged devices is handled in the pci device enable function. This approach has a couple of drawbacks. First, it creates two code paths for device initialization, one for hot plugged devices and another for devices known during the initial PCI scan. Second, the initialization code for hot plugged devices is only called when the device is enabled, ie typically in the probe function. Also, the platform specific setup code is called each time pci_enable_device() is called, not only once during device discovery, meaning it is actually called multiple times, once for devices discovered during the initial scan and again each time a driver is re-loaded. The visible result is that interrupt pins are only assigned to hot plugged devices when the device driver is loaded. Effectively this changes the PCI probe API, since pci_dev->irq and the device's dma configuration will now only be valid after pci_enable() was called at least once. A more subtle change is that platform specific PCI device setup is moved from device discovery into the driver's probe function, more specifically into the pci_enable_device() call. To fix the inconsistencies, add new function pcibios_add_device. Call pcibios_setup_device from pcibios_setup_bus_devices if device setup is not complete, and from pcibios_add_device if bus setup is complete. With this change, device setup code is moved back into device initialization, and called exactly once for both static and hot plugged devices. [ This also fixes a regression introduced by the above patch which causes dev->irq to be overwritten under some cirumstances after MSIs have been enabled for the device which leads to crashes due to the MSI core "hijacking" dev->irq to store the base MSI number and not the LSI. --BenH ] Cc: Yuanquan Chen <Yuanquan.Chen@freescale.com> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Hiroo Matsumoto <matsumoto.hiroo@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This __put_user() could be used by unprivileged processes to write into kernel memory. The issue here is that even if copy_siginfo_to_user() fails, the error code is not checked before __put_user() is executed. Luckily, ptrace_peek_siginfo() has been added within the 3.10-rc cycle, so it has not hit a stable release yet.
