BH_JWrite bit should be set when buffer is written to the journal. So
checkpointing shouldn't set this bit when writing out buffer. This didn't
cause any observable bug since BH_JWrite bit is used only for debugging
purposes but it's good to have this consistent.

When we reach jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail(), there is no guarantee that
checkpointed buffers are on a stable storage - especially if buffers were
written out by jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(), they are likely to be only in disk's
caches. Thus when we update journal superblock effectively removing old
transaction from journal, this write of superblock can get to stable storage
before those checkpointed buffers which can result in filesystem corruption
after a crash. Thus we must unconditionally issue a cache flush before we
update journal superblock in these cases.
A similar problem can also occur if journal superblock is written only in
disk's caches, other transaction starts reusing space of the transaction
cleaned from the log and power failure happens. Subsequent journal replay would
still try to replay the old transaction but some of it's blocks may be already
overwritten by the new transaction. For this reason we must use WRITE_FUA when
updating log tail and we must first write new log tail to disk and update
in-memory information only after that.

There are some log tail updates that are not protected by j_checkpoint_mutex.
Some of these are harmless because they happen during startup or shutdown but
updates in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() and jbd2_journal_flush() can
really race with other log tail updates (e.g. someone doing
jbd2_journal_flush() with someone running jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail()). So
protect all log tail updates with j_checkpoint_mutex.

There are three case of updating journal superblock. In the first case, we want
to mark journal as empty (setting s_sequence to 0), in the second case we want
to update log tail, in the third case we want to update s_errno. Split these
cases into separate functions. It makes the code slightly more straightforward
and later patches will make the distinction even more important.

We can clear PageWriteback on each page when the IO
completes, but we can't release the references on the page
until we convert any uninitialized extents.
Without this patch, the use of the dioread_nolock mount
option can break buffered writes, because extents may
not be converted by the time a subsequent buffered read
comes in; if the page is not in the page cache, a read
will return zeros if the extent is still uninitialized.
I tested this with a (temporary) patch that adds a call
to msleep(1000) at the start of ext4_end_io_work(), to delay
processing of each DIO-unwritten work queue item. With this
msleep(), a simple workload of
fallocate

The following command line will leave the aio-stress process unkillable
on an ext4 file system (in my case, mounted on /mnt/test):
aio-stress -t 20 -s 10 -O -S -o 2 -I 1000 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.20 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.19 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.18 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.17 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.16 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.15 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.14 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.13 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.12 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.11 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.10 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.9 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.8 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.7 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.6 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.5 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.4 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.3 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.2
This is using the aio-stress program from the xfstests test suite.
That particular command line tells aio-stress to do random writes to
20 files from 20 threads (one thread per file). The files are NOT
preallocated, so you will get writes to random offsets within the
file, thus creating holes and extending i_size. It also opens the
file with O_DIRECT and O_SYNC.
On to the problem. When an I/O requires unwritten extent conversion,
it is queued onto the completed_io_list for the ext4 inode. Two code
paths will pull work items from this list. The first is the
ext4_end_io_work routine, and the second is ext4_flush_completed_IO,
which is called via the fsync path (and O_SYNC handling, as well).
There are two issues I've found in these code paths. First, if the
fsync path beats the work routine to a particular I/O, the work
routine will free the io_end structure! It does not take into account
the fact that the io_end may still be in use by the fsync path. I've
fixed this issue by adding yet another IO_END flag, indicating that
the io_end is being processed by the fsync path.
The second problem is that the work routine will make an assignment to
io->flag outside of the lock. I have witnessed this result in a hang
at umount. Moving the flag setting inside the lock resolved that
problem.
The problem was introduced by commit b82e384c7b ("ext4: optimize
locking for end_io extent conversion"), which first appeared in 3.2.
As such, the fix should be backported to that release (probably along
with the unwritten extent conversion race fix).

For extent-based files, you can perform DIO to holes, as mentioned in
the comments in ext4_ext_direct_IO. However, that function passes
DIO_SKIP_HOLES to __blockdev_direct_IO, which is *really* confusing to
the uninitiated reader. The key, here, is that the get_block function
passed in, ext4_get_block_write, completely ignores the create flag
that is passed to it (the create flag is passed in from the direct I/O
code, which uses the DIO_SKIP_HOLES flag to determine whether or not
it should be cleared).
This is a long-winded way of saying that the DIO_SKIP_HOLES flag is
ultimately ignored. So let's remove it.

Processes hang forever on a sync-mounted ext2 file system that

I can reproduce this reliably by mounting an ext2 partition with

When resizing file system in the way that the new size of the file
system is still in the same group (no new groups are added), then we can
hit a BUG_ON in ext4_alloc_group_tables()
BUG_ON(flex_gd->count == 0 || group_data == NULL);
because flex_gd->count is zero. The reason is the missing check for such
case, so the code always extend the last group fully and then attempt to
add more groups, but at that time n_blocks_count is actually smaller
than o_blocks_count.
It can be easily reproduced like this:
mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 /dev/sda 30M
mount /dev/sda /mnt/test
resize2fs /dev/sda 50M
Fix this by checking whether the resize happens within the singe group
and only add that many blocks into the last group to satisfy user
request. Then o_blocks_count == n_blocks_count and the resize will exit
successfully without and attempt to add more groups into the fs.
Also fix mixing together block number and blocks count which might be
confusing and can easily lead to off-by-one errors (but it is actually
not the case here since the two occurrence of this mix-up will cancel
each other).

The following comment in ext4_end_io_dio caught my attention:
/* XXX: probably should move into the real I/O completion handler */
inode_dio_done(inode);
The truncate code takes i_mutex, then calls inode_dio_wait. Because the
ext4 code path above will end up dropping the mutex before it is
reacquired by the worker thread that does the extent conversion, it
seems to me that the truncate can happen out of order. Jan Kara
mentioned that this might result in error messages in the system logs,
but that should be the extent of the "damage."
The fix is pretty straight-forward: don't call inode_dio_done until the
extent conversion is complete.

journal_unmap_buffer()'s zap_buffer: code clears a lot of buffer head
state ala discard_buffer(), but does not touch _Delay or _Unwritten as
discard_buffer() does.
This can be problematic in some areas of the ext4 code which assume
that if they have found a buffer marked unwritten or delay, then it's
a live one. Perhaps those spots should check whether it is mapped
as well, but if jbd2 is going to tear down a buffer, let's really
tear it down completely.
Without this I get some fsx failures on sub-page-block filesystems
up until v3.2, at which point 4e96b2dbbf
and 189e868fa8 make the failures go

Ext4 does not support data journalling with delayed allocation enabled.
We even do not allow to mount the file system with delayed allocation
and data journalling enabled, however it can be set via FS_IOC_SETFLAGS
so we can hit the inode with EXT4_INODE_JOURNAL_DATA set even on file
system mounted with delayed allocation (default) and that's where
problem arises. The easies way to reproduce this problem is with the
following set of commands:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdd
mount /dev/sdd /mnt/test1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test1/file bs=1M count=4
chattr +j /mnt/test1/file
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test1/file bs=1M count=4 conv=notrunc
chattr -j /mnt/test1/file
Additionally it can be reproduced quite reliably with xfstests 272 and
269. In fact the above reproducer is a part of test 272.
To fix this we should ignore the EXT4_INODE_JOURNAL_DATA inode flag if
the file system is mounted with delayed allocation. This can be easily
done by fixing ext4_should_*_data() functions do ignore data journal
flag when delalloc is set (suggested by Ted). We also have to set the
appropriate address space operations for the inode (again, ignoring data
journal flag if delalloc enabled).
Additionally this commit introduces ext4_inode_journal_mode() function
because ext4_should_*_data() has already had a lot of common code and
this change is putting it all into one function so it is easier to
read.
Successfully tested with xfstests in following configurations:
delalloc + data=ordered
delalloc + data=writeback
data=journal

Fix up conflict in fs/logfs/dev_mtd.c due to semantic change in what
"mtd->block_isbad" means in commit f2933e86ad93: "Logfs: Allow NULL
block_isbad() methods" clashing with the abstraction changes in the
commits 7086c19d0742: "mtd: introduce mtd_block_isbad interface" and
d58b27ed58a3: "logfs: do not use 'mtd->block_isbad' directly".
This resolution takes the semantics from commit f2933e86ad, and just
makes mtd_block_isbad() return zero (false) if the 'block_isbad'
function is NULL. But that also means that now "mtd_can_have_bb()"
always returns 0.
Now, "mtd_block_markbad()" will obviously return an error if the
low-level driver doesn't support bad blocks, so this is somewhat
non-symmetric, but it actually makes sense if a NULL "block_isbad"
function is considered to mean "I assume that all my blocks are always
good".
