      ext4: pre-zero allocated blocks for DAX IO · 12735f88
      Jan Kara authored
      Currently ext4 treats DAX IO the same way as direct IO. I.e., it
      allocates unwritten extents before IO is done and converts unwritten
      extents afterwards. However this way DAX IO can race with page fault to
      the same area:
      
      ext4_ext_direct_IO()				dax_fault()
        dax_io()
          get_block() - allocates unwritten extent
          copy_from_iter_pmem()
      						  get_block() - converts
      						    unwritten block to
      						    written and zeroes it
      						    out
        ext4_convert_unwritten_extents()
      
      So data written with DAX IO gets lost. Similarly dax_new_buf() called
      from dax_io() can overwrite data that has been already written to the
      block via mmap.
      
      Fix the problem by using pre-zeroed blocks for DAX IO the same way as we
      use them for DAX mmap. The downside of this solution is that every
      allocating write writes each block twice (once zeros, once data). Fixing
      the race with locking is possible as well however we would need to
      lock-out faults for the whole range written to by DAX IO. And that is
      not easy to do without locking-out faults for the whole file which seems
      too aggressive.

      ext4: refactor direct IO code · 914f82a3
      Jan Kara authored
      Currently ext4 direct IO handling is split between ext4_ext_direct_IO()
      and ext4_ind_direct_IO(). However the extent based function calls into
      the indirect based one for some cases and for example it is not able to
      handle file extending. Previously it was not also properly handling
      retries in case of ENOSPC errors. With DAX things would get even more
      contrieved so just refactor the direct IO code and instead of indirect /
      extent split do the split to read vs writes.

      ext4: fix race in transient ENOSPC detection · dbc427ce
      Jan Kara authored
      When there are blocks to free in the running transaction, block
      allocator can return ENOSPC although the filesystem has some blocks to
      free. We use ext4_should_retry_alloc() to force commit of the current
      transaction and return whether anything was committed so that it makes
      sense to retry the allocation. However the transaction may get committed
      after block allocation fails but before we call
      ext4_should_retry_alloc(). So ext4_should_retry_alloc() returns false
      because there is nothing to commit and we wrongly return ENOSPC.
      
      Fix the race by unconditionally returning 1 from ext4_should_retry_alloc()
      when we tried to commit a transaction. This should not add any
      unnecessary retries since we had a transaction running a while ago when
      trying to allocate blocks and we want to retry the allocation once that
      transaction has committed anyway.

      dax: call get_blocks() with create == 1 for write faults to unwritten extents · aef39ab1
      Jan Kara authored
      Currently, __dax_fault() does not call get_blocks() callback with create
      argument set, when we got back unwritten extent from the initial
      get_blocks() call during a write fault. This is because originally
      filesystems were supposed to convert unwritten extents to written ones
      using complete_unwritten() callback. Later this was abandoned in favor of
      using pre-zeroed blocks however the condition whether get_blocks() needs
      to be called with create == 1 remained.
      
      Fix the condition so that filesystems are not forced to zero-out and
      convert unwritten extents when get_blocks() is called with create == 0
      (which introduces unnecessary overhead for read faults and can be
      problematic as the filesystem may possibly be read-only).

      ext4: fix oops on corrupted filesystem · 74177f55
      Jan Kara authored
      When filesystem is corrupted in the right way, it can happen
      ext4_mark_iloc_dirty() in ext4_orphan_add() returns error and we
      subsequently remove inode from the in-memory orphan list. However this
      deletion is done with list_del(&EXT4_I(inode)->i_orphan) and thus we
      leave i_orphan list_head with a stale content. Later we can look at this
      content causing list corruption, oops, or other issues. The reported

      ext4: fix hang when processing corrupted orphaned inode list · c9eb13a9
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      If the orphaned inode list contains inode #5, ext4_iget() returns a
      bad inode (since the bootloader inode should never be referenced
      directly).  Because of the bad inode, we end up processing the inode
      repeatedly and this hangs the machine.
      
      This can be reproduced via:
      
         mke2fs -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 100
         debugfs -w -R "ssv last_orphan 5" /tmp/foo.img
         mount -o loop /tmp/foo.img /mnt
      
      (But don't do this if you are using an unpatched kernel if you care
      about the system staying functional.  :-)
      
      This bug was found by the port of American Fuzzy Lop into the kernel
      to find file system problems[1].  (Since it *only* happens if inode #5
      shows up on the orphan list --- 3, 7, 8, etc. won't do it, it's not
      surprising that AFL needed two hours before it found it.)

      ext4: fix races between changing inode journal mode and ext4_writepages · c8585c6f
      Daeho Jeong authored
      In ext4, there is a race condition between changing inode journal mode
      and ext4_writepages(). While ext4_writepages() is executed on a
      non-journalled mode inode, the inode's journal mode could be enabled
      by ioctl() and then, some pages dirtied after switching the journal
      mode will be still exposed to ext4_writepages() in non-journaled mode.
      To resolve this problem, we use fs-wide per-cpu rw semaphore by Jan
      Kara's suggestion because we don't want to waste ext4_inode_info's
      space for this extra rare case.

      ext4: handle unwritten or delalloc buffers before enabling data journaling · 4c546592
      Daeho Jeong authored
      We already allocate delalloc blocks before changing the inode mode into
      "per-file data journal" mode to prevent delalloc blocks from remaining
      not allocated, but another issue concerned with "BH_Unwritten" status
      still exists. For example, by fallocate(), several buffers' status
      change into "BH_Unwritten", but these buffers cannot be processed by
      ext4_alloc_da_blocks(). So, they still remain in unwritten status after
      per-file data journaling is enabled and they cannot be changed into
      written status any more and, if they are journaled and eventually
      checkpointed, these unwritten buffer will cause a kernel panic by the
      below BUG_ON() function of submit_bh_wbc() when they are submitted
      during checkpointing.
      
      static int submit_bh_wbc(int rw, struct buffer_head *bh,...
      {
              ...
              BUG_ON(buffer_unwritten(bh));
      
      Moreover, when "dioread_nolock" option is enabled, the status of a
      buffer is changed into "BH_Unwritten" after write_begin() completes and
      the "BH_Unwritten" status will be cleared after I/O is done. Therefore,
      if a buffer's status is changed into unwrutten but the buffer's I/O is
      not submitted and completed, it can cause the same problem after
      enabling per-file data journaling. You can easily generate this bug by
      executing the following command.
      
      ./kvm-xfstests -C 10000 -m nodelalloc,dioread_nolock generic/269
      
      To resolve these problems and define a boundary between the previous
      mode and per-file data journaling mode, we need to flush and wait all
      the I/O of buffers of a file before enabling per-file data journaling
      of the file.

      ext4: fix jbd2 handle extension in ext4_ext_truncate_extend_restart() · 7b808191
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      The function jbd2_journal_extend() takes as its argument the number of
      new credits to be added to the handle.  We weren't taking into account
      the currently unused handle credits; worse, we would try to extend the
      handle by N credits when it had N credits available.
      
      In the case where jbd2_journal_extend() fails because the transaction
      is too large, when jbd2_journal_restart() gets called, the N credits
      owned by the handle gets returned to the transaction, and the
      transaction commit is asynchronously requested, and then
      start_this_handle() will be able to successfully attach the handle to
      the current transaction since the required credits are now available.
      
      This is mostly harmless, but since ext4_ext_truncate_extend_restart()
      returns EAGAIN, the truncate machinery will once again try to call
      ext4_ext_truncate_extend_restart(), which will do the above sequence
      over and over again until the transaction has committed.
      
      This was found while I was debugging a lockup in caused by running
      xfstests generic/074 in the data=journal case.  I'm still not sure why
      we ended up looping forever, which suggests there may still be another
      bug hiding in the transaction accounting machinery, but this commit
      prevents us from looping in the first place.

      ext4: do not ask jbd2 to write data for delalloc buffers · ee0876bc
      Jan Kara authored
      Currently we ask jbd2 to write all dirty allocated buffers before
      committing a transaction when doing writeback of delay allocated blocks.
      However this is unnecessary since we move all pages to writeback state
      before dropping a transaction handle and then submit all the necessary
      IO. We still need the transaction commit to wait for all the outstanding
      writeback before flushing disk caches during transaction commit to avoid
      data exposure issues though. Use the new jbd2 capability and ask it to
      only wait for outstanding writeback during transaction commit when
      writing back data in ext4_writepages().

      jbd2: add support for avoiding data writes during transaction commits · 41617e1a
      Jan Kara authored
      Currently when filesystem needs to make sure data is on permanent
      storage before committing a transaction it adds inode to transaction's
      inode list. During transaction commit, jbd2 writes back all dirty
      buffers that have allocated underlying blocks and waits for the IO to
      finish. However when doing writeback for delayed allocated data, we
      allocate blocks and immediately submit the data. Thus asking jbd2 to
      write dirty pages just unnecessarily adds more work to jbd2 possibly
      writing back other redirtied blocks.
      
      Add support to jbd2 to allow filesystem to ask jbd2 to only wait for
      outstanding data writes before committing a transaction and thus avoid
      unnecessary writes.

      ext4: remove EXT4_STATE_ORDERED_MODE · 3957ef53
      Jan Kara authored
      This flag is just duplicating what ext4_should_order_data() tells you
      and is used in a single place. Furthermore it doesn't reflect changes to
      inode data journalling flag so it may be possibly misleading. Just
      remove it.

      ext4: fix data exposure after a crash · 06bd3c36
      Jan Kara authored
      Huang has reported that in his powerfail testing he is seeing stale
      block contents in some of recently allocated blocks although he mounts
      ext4 in data=ordered mode. After some investigation I have found out
      that indeed when delayed allocation is used, we don't add inode to
      transaction's list of inodes needing flushing before commit. Originally
      we were doing that but commit f3b59291 removed the logic with a
      flawed argument that it is not needed.
      
      The problem is that although for delayed allocated blocks we write their
      contents immediately after allocating them, there is no guarantee that
      the IO scheduler or device doesn't reorder things and thus transaction
      allocating blocks and attaching them to inode can reach stable storage
      before actual block contents. Actually whenever we attach freshly
      allocated blocks to inode using a written extent, we should add inode to
      transaction's ordered inode list to make sure we properly wait for block
      contents to be written before committing the transaction. So that is
      what we do in this patch. This also handles other cases where stale data
      exposure was possible - like filling hole via mmap in
      data=ordered,nodelalloc mode.
      
      The only exception to the above rule are extending direct IO writes where
      blkdev_direct_IO() waits for IO to complete before increasing i_size and
      thus stale data exposure is not possible. For now we don't complicate
      the code with optimizing this special case since the overhead is pretty
      low. In case this is observed to be a performance problem we can always
      handle it using a special flag to ext4_map_blocks().

      ext4: allow readdir()'s of large empty directories to be interrupted · 1f60fbe7
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      If a directory has a large number of empty blocks, iterating over all
      of them can take a long time, leading to scheduler warnings and users
      getting irritated when they can't kill a process in the middle of one
      of these long-running readdir operations.  Fix this by adding checks to
      ext4_readdir() and ext4_htree_fill_tree().
      
      This was reverted earlier due to a typo in the original commit where I
      experimented with using signal_pending() instead of
      fatal_signal_pending().  The test was in the wrong place if we were
      going to return signal_pending() since we would end up returning
      duplicant entries.  See 9f2394c9 for a more detailed explanation.
      
      Added fix as suggested by Linus to check for signal_pending() in
      in the filldir() functions.
