This adds a new field in ext4_group_info to cache the largest available
block range in a block group; and don't load the buddy pages until *after*
we've done a sanity check on the block group.
With large allocation requests (e.g., fallocate(), 8MiB) and relatively full
partitions, it's easy to have no block groups with a block extent large
enough to satisfy the input request length. This currently causes the loop
during cr == 0 in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() to load the buddy bitmap pages
for EVERY block group. That can be a lot of pages. The patch below allows
us to call ext4_mb_good_group() BEFORE we load the buddy pages (although we
have check again after we lock the block group).

In the past, ext4_calc_metadata_amount(), and its sub-functions
ext4_ext_calc_metadata_amount() and ext4_indirect_calc_metadata_amount()
badly over-estimated the number of metadata blocks that might be
required for delayed allocation blocks. This didn't matter as much
when functions which managed the reserved metadata blocks were more
aggressive about dropping reserved metadata blocks as delayed
allocation blocks were written, but unfortunately they were too
aggressive. This was fixed in commit 0637c6f, but as a result the
over-estimation by ext4_calc_metadata_amount() would lead to reserving
2-3 times the number of pending delayed allocation blocks as
potentially required metadata blocks. So if there are 1 megabytes of
blocks which have been not yet been allocation, up to 3 megabytes of
space would get reserved out of the user's quota and from the file
system free space pool until all of the inode's data blocks have been
allocated.
This commit addresses this problem by much more accurately estimating
the number of metadata blocks that will be required. It will still
somewhat over-estimate the number of blocks needed, since it must make
a worst case estimate not knowing which physical blocks will be
needed, but it is much more accurate than before.

Add checks to ext4_free_branches() to make sure a block number found

If you get *really*, *really*, *really* unlucky, without this patch, a

ext4_free_branches() could end up zero'ing out a block group

assumption is no longer valid, it's possible for the value

This reverts commit d0646f7b63, as

It can basically cause an ext4 filesystem to miss recovery (and thus get
mounted with errors) if the journal checksum does not match.
Quoth Eric:
"My hand-wavy hunch about what is happening is that we're finding a
bad checksum on the last partially-written transaction, which is
not surprising, but if we have a wrapped log and we're doing the
initial scan for head/tail, and we abort scanning on that bad
checksum, then we are essentially running an unrecovered filesystem.
But that's hand-wavy and I need to go look at the code.
We lived without journal checksums on by default until now, and at
this point they're doing more harm than good, so we should revert
the default-changing commit until we can fix it and do some good
power-fail testing with the fixes in place."

For async direct IO that covers holes or fallocate, the end_io
callback function now queued the convertion work on workqueue but
don't flush the work rightaway as it might take too long to afford.
But when fsync is called after all the data is completed, user expects
the metadata also being updated before fsync returns.
Thus we need to flush the conversion work when fsync() is called.
This patch keep track of a listed of completed async direct io that
has a work queued on workqueue. When fsync() is called, it will go
through the list and do the conversion.

Currently the DIO VFS code passes create = 0 when writing to the
middle of file. It does this to avoid block allocation for holes, so
as not to expose stale data out when there is a parallel buffered read
(which does not hold the i_mutex lock). Direct I/O writes into holes
falls back to buffered IO for this reason.
Since preallocated extents are treated as holes when doing a
get_block() look up (buffer is not mapped), direct IO over fallocate
also falls back to buffered IO. Thus ext4 actually silently falls
back to buffered IO in above two cases, which is undesirable.
To fix this, this patch creates unitialized extents when a direct I/O
write into holes in sparse files, and registering an end_io callback which
converts the uninitialized extent to an initialized extent after the
I/O is completed.

Work around problems in the writeback code to force out writebacks in
larger chunks than just 4mb, which is just too small. This also works
around limitations in the ext4 block allocator, which can't allocate
more than 2048 blocks at a time. So we need to defeat the round-robin
characteristics of the writeback code and try to write out as many
blocks in one inode before allowing the writeback code to move on to
another inode. We add a a new per-filesystem tunable,
max_writeback_mb_bump, which caps this to a default of 128mb per

Today, the ext4 allocator will happily allocate blocks past
2^32 for indirect-block files, which results in the block
numbers getting truncated, and corruption ensues.
This patch limits such allocations to < 2^32, and adds
BUG_ONs if we do get blocks larger than that.
This should address RH Bug 519471, ext4 bitmap allocator

* ext4_xattr_block_set() is modified such that the goal block

* ext4_mb_regular_allocator() is modified so that the group

* ext4_mb_use_preallocated() has a check that we don't use
preallocated space which is too far out
* ext4_alloc_blocks() and ext4_xattr_block_set() add some BUG_ONs
No attempt has been made to limit inode locations to < 2^32,
so we may wind up with blocks far from their inodes. Doing
this much already will lead to some odd ENOSPC issues when the
"lower 32" gets full, and further restricting inodes could
make that even weirder.
For high inodes, choosing a goal of the original, % UINT_MAX,
may be a bit odd, but then we're in an odd situation anyway,
and I don't know of a better heuristic.

During truncate we are sometimes forced to start a new transaction as
the amount of blocks to be journaled is both quite large and hard to
predict. So far we restarted a transaction while holding i_data_sem
and that violates lock ordering because i_data_sem ranks below a
transaction start (and it can lead to a real deadlock with
ext4_get_blocks() mapping blocks in some page while having a
transaction open).
We fix the problem by dropping the i_data_sem before restarting the
transaction and acquire it afterwards. It's slightly subtle that this
works:
1) By the time ext4_truncate() is called, all the page cache for the
truncated part of the file is dropped so get_block() should not be
called on it (we only have to invalidate extent cache after we
reacquire i_data_sem because some extent from not-truncated part could
extend also into the part we are going to truncate).
2) Writes, migrate or defrag hold i_mutex so they are stopped for all
the time of the truncate.

Currently the group preallocation code tries to find a large (512)
free block from which to do per-cpu group allocation for small files.
The problem with this scheme is that it leaves the filesystem horribly
fragmented. In the worst case, if the filesystem is unmounted and
remounted (after a system shutdown, for example) we forget the fact
that wee were using a particular (now-partially filled) 512 block
extent. So the next time we try to allocate space for a small file,
we will find *another* completely free 512 block chunk to allocate
small files. Given that there are 32,768 blocks in a block group,
after 64 iterations of "mount, write one 4k file in a directory,
unmount", the block group will have 64 files, each separated by 511
blocks, and the block group will no longer have any free 512
completely free chunks of blocks for group preallocation space.
So if we try to allocate blocks for a file that has been closed, such
that we know the final size of the file, and the filesystem is not
busy, avoid using group preallocation.

The logic around sbi->s_mb_last_group and sbi->s_mb_last_start was all
screwed up. These fields were getting unconditionally all the time,
set even when stream allocation had not taken place, and if they were
being used when the file was smaller than s_mb_stream_request, which
is when the allocation should _not_ be doing stream allocation.
Fix this by determining whether or not we stream allocation should
take place once, in ext4_mb_group_or_file(), and setting a flag which
gets used in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() and ext4_mb_use_best_found().

in a red-black tree. This allows quick searching of the tree to
locate extents which might overlap with filesystem metadata blocks.
This facility is also used by the multi-block allocator to assure that
it is not allocating blocks out of the system zone, as well as by the
routines used when reading indirect blocks and extents information
from disk to make sure their contents are valid.

The ext4_get_blocks() function was depending on the value of
bh_result->b_state as an input parameter to decide whether or not
update the delalloc accounting statistics by calling
ext4_da_update_reserve_space(). We now use a separate flag,
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_UPDATE_RESERVE_SPACE, to requests this update, so that
all callers of ext4_get_blocks() can clear map_bh.b_state before
calling ext4_get_blocks() without worrying about any consistency
issues.

The functions ext4_get_blocks(), ext4_ext_get_blocks(), and
ext4_ind_get_blocks() used an ad-hoc set of integer variables used as
boolean flags passed in as arguments. Use a single flags parameter
and a setandard set of bitfield flags instead. This saves space on
the call stack, and it also makes the code a bit more understandable.

Ext4's on-line resizing adds a new block group and then, only at the
last step adjusts s_groups_count. However, it's possible on SMP
systems that another CPU could see the updated the s_group_count and
not see the newly initialized data structures for the just-added block
group. For this reason, it's important to insert a SMP read barrier
after reading s_groups_count and before reading any (for example) the
new block group descriptors allowed by the increased value of
s_groups_count.
Unfortunately, we rather blatently violate this locking protocol
documented in fs/ext4/resize.c. Fortunately, (1) on-line resizes
happen relatively rarely, and (2) it seems rare that the filesystem
code will immediately try to use just-added block group before any
memory ordering issues resolve themselves. So apparently problems
here are relatively hard to hit, since ext3 has been vulnerable to the
same issue for years with no one apparently complaining.

The find_group_flex() inode allocator is now only used if the
filesystem is mounted using the "oldalloc" mount option. It is
replaced with the original Orlov allocator that has been updated for
flex_bg filesystems (it should behave the same way if flex_bg is
disabled). The inode allocator now functions by taking into account
each flex_bg group, instead of each block group, when deciding whether
or not it's time to allocate a new directory into a fresh flex_bg.
The block allocator has also been changed so that the first block
group in each flex_bg is preferred for use for storing directory
blocks. This keeps directory blocks close together, which is good for
speeding up e2fsck since large directories are more likely to look
like this:

The rec_len field in the directory entry is 16 bits, so to encode
blocksizes larger than 64k becomes problematic. This patch allows us
to supprot block sizes up to 256k, by using the low 2 bits to extend
the range of rec_len to 2**18-1 (since valid rec_len sizes must be a
multiple of 4). We use the convention that a rec_len of 0 or 65535
means the filesystem block size, for compatibility with older kernels.
It's unlikely we'll see VM pages of up to 256k, but at some point we
might find that the Linux VM has been enhanced to support filesystem
block sizes > than the VM page size, at which point it might be useful
for some applications to allow very large filesystem block sizes.

The rec_len field in the directory entry is 16 bits, so there was a
problem representing rec_len for filesystems with a 64k block size in
the case where the directory entry takes the entire 64k block.
Unfortunately, there were two schemes that were proposed; one where
all zeros meant 65536 and one where all ones (65535) meant 65536.
E2fsprogs used 0, whereas the kernel used 65535. Oops. Fortunately
this case happens extremely rarely, with the most common case being
the lost+found directory, created by mke2fs.
So we will be liberal in what we accept, and accept both encodings,
but we will continue to encode 65536 as 65535. This will require a
change in e2fsprogs, but with fortunately ext4 filesystems normally
have the dir_index feature enabled, which precludes having a
completely empty directory block.

Directories are not allowed to be bigger than 2GB, so don't use

For NR_CPUS >= 16 values, FBC_BATCH is 2*NR_CPUS
Considering more and more distros are using high NR_CPUS values, it makes
sense to use a more sensible value for FBC_BATCH, and get rid of NR_CPUS.
A sensible value is 2*num_online_cpus(), with a minimum value of 32 (This
minimum value helps branch prediction in __percpu_counter_add())
We already have a hotcpu notifier, so we can adjust FBC_BATCH dynamically.
We rename FBC_BATCH to percpu_counter_batch since its not a constant

This mount option is largely superfluous, and in fact the way it was
implemented was buggy; if a filesystem which did not have the extents
feature flag was mounted -o extents, the filesystem would attempt to
create and use extents-based file even though the extents feature flag
was not eabled. The simplest thing to do is to nuke the mount option
entirely. It's not all that useful to force the non-creation of new
extent-based files if the filesystem can support it.

If the journal doesn't abort when it gets an IO error in file data
blocks, the file data corruption will spread silently. Because
most of applications and commands do buffered writes without fsync(),
they don't notice the IO error. It's scary for mission critical
systems. On the other hand, if the journal aborts whenever it gets
an IO error in file data blocks, the system will easily become
inoperable. So this patch introduces a filesystem option to
determine whether it aborts the journal or just call printk() when
it gets an IO error in file data.
If you mount an ext4 fs with data_err=abort option, it aborts on file
data write error. If you mount it with data_err=ignore, it doesn't
abort, just call printk(). data_err=ignore is the default.
Here is the corresponding patch of the ext3 version:

a flag indicating that the modified data are contigous thus could account
less indirect/index blocks.
This patch also fixed the journal credit reservation for direct I/O
(DIO). Previously the estimated credits for DIO only was calculated for
non-extent files, which was not enough if the file is extent-based.
Also fixed was fallocate double-counting credits for modifying the the
superblock.

When considering how many journal credits are needed for modifying a
chunk of data, we need to account for the super block, inode block,
quota blocks and xattr block, indirect/index blocks, also, group bitmap
and group descriptor blocks for new allocation (including data and
indirect/index blocks). There are many places in ext4 do the calculation
on their own and often missed one or two meta blocks, and often they
assume single block allocation, and did not considering the multile
chunk of allocation case.
This patch is trying to cleanup current journal credit code, provides
some common helper funtion to calculate the journal credits, to be used
for writepage, writepages, DIO, fallocate, migration, defrag, and for
both nonextent and extent files.
This patch modified the writepage/write_begin credit caculation for
nonextent files, to use the new helper function. It also fixed the
problem that writepage on nonextent files did not consider the case
blocksize <pagesize, thus could possibelly need multiple block
allocation in a single transaction.

The truncate patch should not use the i_allocated_meta_blocks
value. So add seperate functions to be used in the truncate

Right now i_blocks is not getting updated until the blocks are actually
allocaed on disk. This means with delayed allocation, right after files
are copied, "ls -sF" shoes the file as taking 0 blocks on disk. "du"
also shows the files taking zero space, which is highly confusing to the
user.
Since delayed allocation already keeps track of per-inode total
number of blocks that are subject to delayed allocation, this patch fix
this by using that to adjust the value returned by stat(2). When real
block allocation is done, the i_blocks will get updated. Since the
reserved blocks for delayed allocation will be decreased, this will be
keep value returned by stat(2) consistent.

This patch does block reservation for delayed
allocation, to avoid ENOSPC later at page flush time.
Blocks(data and metadata) are reserved at da_write_begin()
time, the freeblocks counter is updated by then, and the number of
reserved blocks is store in per inode counter.
At the writepage time, the unused reserved meta blocks are returned
back. At unlink/truncate time, reserved blocks are properly released.
Updated fix from Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
to fix the oldallocator block reservation accounting with delalloc, added
lock to guard the counters and also fix the reservation for meta blocks.

This changes are needed to support data=ordered mode handling via
inodes. This enables us to get rid of the journal heads and buffer
heads for data buffers in the ordered mode. With the changes, during
tranasaction commit we writeout the inode pages using the
writepages()/writepage(). That implies we take page lock during
transaction commit. This can cause a deadlock with the locking order
page_lock -> jbd2_journal_start, since the jbd2_journal_start can wait
for the journal_commit to happen and the journal_commit now needs to
take the page lock. To avoid this dead lock reverse the locking order.

We would like to get notified when we are doing a write on mmap section.
This is needed with respect to preallocated area. We split the preallocated
area into initialzed extent and uninitialzed extent in the call back. This
let us handle ENOSPC better. Otherwise we get ENOSPC in the writepage and
that would result in data loss. The changes are also needed to handle ENOSPC
when writing to an mmap section of files with holes.

When mballoc is enabled, block allocation for old block-based
files are allocated using mballoc allocator instead of old
block-based allocator. The old ext3 block reservation is turned
off when mballoc is turned on.
However, the in-core preallocation is not enabled for block-based/
non-extent based file block allocation. This result in performance
regression, as now we don't have "reservation" ore in-core preallocation
to prevent interleaved fragmentation in multiple writes workload.
This patch fix this by enable per inode in-core preallocation
for non extent files when mballoc is used.

This patch mostly controls the way inode are allocated in order to
make ialloc aware of flex_bg block group grouping. It achieves this
by bypassing the Orlov allocator when block group meta-data are packed
toghether through mke2fs. Since the impact on the block allocator is
minimal, this patch should have little or no effect on other block
allocation algorithms. By controlling the inode allocation, it can
basically control where the initial search for new block begins and
thus indirectly manipulate the block allocator.
This allocator favors data and meta-data locality so the disk will
gradually be filled from block group zero upward. This helps improve
performance by reducing seek time. Since the group of inode tables
within one flex_bg are treated as one giant inode table, uninitialized
block groups would not need to partially initialize as many inode
table as with Orlov which would help fsck time as the filesystem usage
goes up.
