80e675f906 ext4: optimize memmmove lengths in extent/index insertions
ext4_ext_insert_extent() (respectively ext4_ext_insert_index())
was using EXT_MAX_EXTENT() (resp. EXT_MAX_INDEX()) to determine
how many entries needed to be moved beyond the insertion point.
In practice this means that (320 - I) * 24 bytes were memmove()'d
when I is the insertion point, rather than (#entries - I) * 24 bytes.

This patch uses EXT_LAST_EXTENT() (resp. EXT_LAST_INDEX()) instead
to only move existing entries. The code flow is also simplified
slightly to highlight similarities and reduce code duplication in
the insertion logic.

This patch reduces system CPU consumption by over 25% on a 4kB
synchronous append DIO write workload when used with the
pre-2.6.39 x86_64 memmove() implementation. With the much faster
2.6.39 memmove() implementation we still see a decrease in
system CPU usage between 2% and 7%.

Note that the ext_debug() output changes with this patch, splitting
some log information between entries. Users of the ext_debug() output
should note that the "move %d" units changed from reporting the number
of bytes moved to reporting the number of entries moved.

6f91bc5fda ext4: optimize ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized()
This patch introduces a fast path in ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized()
for the case when the conversion can be performed by transferring
the newly initialized blocks from the uninitialized extent into
an adjacent initialized extent. Doing so removes the expensive
invocations of memmove() which occur during extent insertion and
the subsequent merge.

In practice this should be the common case for clients performing
append writes into files pre-allocated via
fallocate(FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE). In such a workload performed via
direct IO and when using a suboptimal implementation of memmove()
(x86_64 prior to the 2.6.39 rewrite), this patch reduces kernel CPU
consumption by 32%.

Two new trace points are added to ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized()
to offer visibility into its operations. No exit trace point has
been added due to the multiplicity of return points. This can be
revisited once the upstream cleanup is backported.

b3ff056908 ext4: don't check io->flag when setting EXT4_STATE_DIO_UNWRITTEN inode state
When we want to convert the unitialized extent in direct write, we can
either do it in ext4_end_io_nolock(AIO case) or in
ext4_ext_direct_IO(non AIO case) and EXT4_I(inode)->cur_aio_dio is a
guard for ext4_ext_map_blocks to find the right case.  In e9e3bcecf,
we mistakenly change it by:

-			if (io)
+			if (io && !(io->flag & EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN)) {
 				io->flag = EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN;
-			else
+				atomic_inc(&EXT4_I(inode)->i_aiodio_unwritten);
+			} else
 				ext4_set_inode_state(inode,
 						     EXT4_STATE_DIO_UNWRITTEN);

So now if we map 2 blocks, and the first one set the
EXT_IO_END_UNWRITTEN, the 2nd mapping will set inode state because of
the check for the flag. This is wrong.

ebbe027797 ext4: use stream-alloc when mb_group_prealloc set to zero
The kernel will crash on 

ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used:
	BUG_ON(ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len <= 0);

after we set /sys/fs/ext4/sda/mb_group_prealloc to zero and create new files in an ext4 filesystem.

The reason is: ac_b_ex.fe_len also set to zero(mb_group_prealloc) in ext4_mb_normalize_group_request
because the ac_flags contains EXT4_MB_HINT_GROUP_ALLOC.

I think when someone set mb_group_prealloc to zero, it means DO NOT USE GROUP PREALLOCATION,
so we should set alloc-strategy to STREAM in this case.

In ext4_ext_next_allocated_block(), the path[depth] might
have a p_ext that is NULL -- see ext4_ext_binsearch().  In
such a case, dereferencing it will crash the machine.

This patch checks for p_ext == NULL in
ext4_ext_next_allocated_block() before dereferencinging it.

Tested using a hand-crafted an inode with eh_entries == 0 in
an extent block, verified that running FIEMAP on it crashes
without this patch, works fine with it.

ext4_mark_iloc_dirty() says:

 * The caller must have previously called ext4_reserve_inode_write().
 * Give this, we know that the caller already has write access to iloc->bh.

ext4_xattr_set_handle, however, just open-codes it.  May as well use
the helper function for consistency.

No bug here, just tidiness.

(Note: on cleanup path, ext4_reserve_inode_write sets
the bh to NULL if it returns an error, and brelse() of 
a null bh is handled gracefully).

909a4cf1ff ext4: avoid setting directory i_nlink to zero
If a directory with more than EXT4_LINK_MAX subdirectories, the nlink
count is set to 1.  Subsequently, if any subdirectories are deleted,
ext4_dec_count() decrements the i_nlink count, which may go to 0
temporarily before being incremented back to 1.

While this is done under i_mutex, which prevents races for directory
and inode operations that check i_nlink, the temporary i_nlink == 0
case is exposed to userspace via stat() and similar calls that do not
hold i_mutex.

Instead, change the code to not decrement i_nlink count for any
directories that do not already have i_nlink larger than 2.

cf8039036a ext4: prevent stack overrun in ext4_file_open
In ext4_file_open, the filesystem records the mountpoint of the first
file that is opened after mounting the filesystem.  It does this by
allocating a 64-byte stack buffer, calling d_path() to grab the mount
point through which this file was accessed, and then memcpy()ing 64
bytes into the superblock's s_last_mounted field, starting from the
return value of d_path(), which is stored as "cp".  However, if cp >
buf (which it frequently is since path components are prepended
starting at the end of buf) then we can end up copying stack data into
the superblock.

Writing stack variables into the superblock doesn't sound like a great
idea, so use strlcpy instead.  Andi Kleen suggested using strlcpy
instead of strncpy.

Last fallocate cmd has updated size, but keept EOFBLOCK_FL set. And
fsck will complain about that.

1939dd84b3 ext4: cleanup ext4_ext_grow_indepth code
Currently code make an impression what grow procedure is very complicated
and some mythical paths, blocks are involved. But in fact grow in depth
it relatively simple procedure:
 1) Just create new meta block and copy root data to that block.
 2) Convert root from extent to index if old depth == 0
 3) Update root block pointer

This patch does:
 - Reorganize code to make it more self explanatory
 - Do not pass path parameter to new_meta_block() in order to
   provoke allocation from inode's group because top-level block
   should site closer to it's inode, but not to leaf data block.

   [ This happens anyway, due to logic in mballoc; we should drop
     the path parameter from new_meta_block() entirely.  -- tytso ]

f6f96fdb8c ext4: Fix comparison endianness problem in MMP initialization
As part of startup, the MMP initialization code does this:

mmp->mmp_seq = seq = cpu_to_le32(mmp_new_seq());

Next, mmp->mmp_seq is written out to disk, a delay happens, and then
the MMP block is read back in and the sequence value is tested:

if (seq != le32_to_cpu(mmp->mmp_seq)) {
	/* fail the mount */

On a LE system such as x86, the *le32* functions do nothing and this
works.  Unfortunately, on a BE system such as ppc64, this comparison
becomes:

if (cpu_to_le32(new_seq) != le32_to_cpu(cpu_to_le32(new_seq)) {
	/* fail the mount */

Except for a few palindromic sequence numbers, this test always causes
the mount to fail, which makes MMP filesystems generally unmountable
on ppc64.  The attached patch fixes this situation.

5356f2615c ext4: attempt to fix race in bigalloc code path
Currently, there exists a race between delayed allocated writes and
the writeback when bigalloc feature is in use. The race was because we
wanted to determine what blocks in a cluster are under delayed
allocation and we were using buffer_delayed(bh) check for it. But, the
writeback codepath clears this bit without any synchronization which
resulted in a race and an ext4 warning similar to:

EXT4-fs (ram1): ext4_da_update_reserve_space: ino 13, used 1 with only 0
		reserved data blocks

The race existed in two places.
(1) between ext4_find_delalloc_range() and ext4_map_blocks() when called from
    writeback code path.
(2) between ext4_find_delalloc_range() and ext4_da_get_block_prep() (where
    buffer_delayed(bh) is set.

To fix (1), this patch introduces a new buffer_head state bit -
BH_Da_Mapped.  This bit is set under the protection of
EXT4_I(inode)->i_data_sem when we have actually mapped the delayed
allocated blocks during the writeout time. We can now reliably check
for this bit inside ext4_find_delalloc_range() to determine whether
the reservation for the blocks have already been claimed or not.

To fix (2), it was necessary to set buffer_delay(bh) under the
protection of i_data_sem.  So, I extracted the very beginning of
ext4_map_blocks into a new function - ext4_da_map_blocks() - and
performed the required setting of bh_delay bit and the quota
reservation under the protection of i_data_sem.  These two fixes makes
the checking of buffer_delay(bh) and buffer_da_mapped(bh) consistent,
thus removing the race.

Tested: I was able to reproduce the problem by running 'dd' and
'fsync' in parallel. Also, xfstests sometimes used to reproduce this
race. After the fix both my test and xfstests were successful and no
race (warning message) was observed.

case of inode-based preallocation regions, the start of the

decbd919f4 ext4: only call ext4_jbd2_file_inode when an inode has been extended
In delayed allocation mode, it's important to only call
ext4_jbd2_file_inode when the file has been extended.  This is
necessary to avoid a race which first got introduced in commit
678aaf481, but which was made much more common with the introduction
of the "punch hole" functionality.  (Especially when dioread_nolock
was enabled; when I could reliably reproduce this problem with
xfstests #74.)

The race is this: If while trying to writeback a delayed allocation
inode, there is a need to map delalloc blocks, and we run out of space
in the journal, *and* at the same time the inode is already on the
committing transaction's t_inode_list (because for example while doing
the punch hole operation, ext4_jbd2_file_inode() is called), then the
commit operation will wait for the inode to finish all of its pending
writebacks by calling filemap_fdatawait(), but since that inode has
one or more pages with the PageWriteback flag set, the commit
operation will wait forever, and the so the writeback of the inode can
never take place, and the kjournald thread and the writeback thread
end up waiting for each other --- forever.

It's important at this point to recall why an inode is placed on the
t_inode_list; it is to provide the data=ordered guarantees that we
don't end up exposing stale data.  In the case where we are truncating
or punching a hole in the inode, there is no possibility that stale
data could be exposed in the first place, so we don't need to put the
inode on the t_inode_list!

The right long-term fix is to get rid of data=ordered mode altogether,
and only update the extent tree or indirect blocks after the data has
been written.  Until then, this change will also avoid some
unnecessary waiting in the commit operation.

2be4751b21 ext4: fix 2nd xfstests 127 punch hole failure
This patch fixes a second punch hole bug found by xfstests 127.

This bug happens because punch hole needs to flush the pages
of the hole to avoid race conditions.  But if the end of the
hole is in the same page as i_size, the buffer heads beyond
i_size need to be unmapped and the page needs to be zeroed
after it is flushed.

To correct this, the new ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers
routine is used to zero and unmap the partial page
beyond i_size if the end of the hole appears in the same
page as i_size.

The code has also been optimized to set the end of the hole
to the page after i_size if the specified hole exceeds i_size,
and the code that flushes the pages has been simplified.

ba06208a13 ext4: fix xfstests 75, 112, 127 punch hole failure
This patch addresses a bug found by xfstests 75, 112, 127
when blocksize = 1k

This bug happens because the punch hole code only zeros
out non block aligned regions of the page.  This means that if the
blocks are smaller than a page, then the block aligned regions of
the page inside the hole are left un-zeroed, and their buffer heads
are still mapped.  This bug is corrected by using
ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers to properly zero the partial page
at the head and tail of the hole, and unmap the corresponding buffer
heads

This patch also addresses a bug reported by Lukas while working on a
new patch to add discard support for loop devices using punch hole.
The bug happened because of the first and last block number
needed to be cast to a larger data type before calculating the
byte offset, but since now we only need the byte offsets of the
pages, we no longer even need to be calculating the byte offsets
of the blocks.  The code to do the block offset calculations is
removed in this patch.

4e96b2dbbf ext4: Add new ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers routines
This patch adds two new routines: ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers
and ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.

The ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers routine is a wrapper
function to ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.
The wrapper function locks the page and passes it to
ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.
Calling functions that already have the page locked can call
ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock directly.

The ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock function
zeros a specified range in a page, and unmaps the
corresponding buffer heads.  Only block aligned regions of the
page will have their buffer heads unmapped.  Unblock aligned regions
will be mapped if needed so that they can be updated with the
partial zero out.  This function is meant to
be used to update a page and its buffer heads to be zeroed
and unmapped when the corresponding blocks have been released
or will be released.

This routine is used in the following scenarios:
* A hole is punched and the non page aligned regions
  of the head and tail of the hole need to be discarded

* The file is truncated and the partial page beyond EOF needs
  to be discarded

* The end of a hole is in the same page as EOF.  After the
  page is flushed, the partial page beyond EOF needs to be
  discarded.

* A write operation begins or ends inside a hole and the partial
  page appearing before or after the write needs to be discarded

* A write operation extends EOF and the partial page beyond EOF
  needs to be discarded

This function takes a flag EXT4_DISCARD_PARTIAL_PG_ZERO_UNMAPPED
which is used when a write operation begins or ends in a hole.
When the EXT4_DISCARD_PARTIAL_PG_ZERO_UNMAPPED flag is used, only
buffer heads that are already unmapped will have the corresponding
regions of the page zeroed.

1cd9f0976a ext2,ext3,ext4: don't inherit APPEND_FL or IMMUTABLE_FL for new inodes
This doesn't make much sense, and it exposes a bug in the kernel where
attempts to create a new file in an append-only directory using
O_CREAT will fail (but still leave a zero-length file).  This was
discovered when xfstests #79 was generalized so it could run on all
file systems.

8c0bec2151 ext4: remove i_mutex lock in ext4_evict_inode to fix lockdep complaining
The i_mutex lock and flush_completed_IO() added by commit 2581fdc810
in ext4_evict_inode() causes lockdep complaining about potential
deadlock in several places.  In most/all of these LOCKDEP complaints
it looks like it's a false positive, since many of the potential
circular locking cases can't take place by the time the
ext4_evict_inode() is called; but since at the very least it may mask
real problems, we need to address this.

This change removes the flush_completed_IO() and i_mutex lock in
ext4_evict_inode().  Instead, we take a different approach to resolve
the software lockup that commit 2581fdc810 intends to fix.  Rather
than having ext4-dio-unwritten thread wait for grabing the i_mutex
lock of an inode, we use mutex_trylock() instead, and simply requeue
the work item if we fail to grab the inode's i_mutex lock.

This should speed up work queue processing in general and also
prevents the following deadlock scenario: During page fault,
shrink_icache_memory is called that in turn evicts another inode B.
Inode B has some pending io_end work so it calls ext4_ioend_wait()
that waits for inode B's i_ioend_count to become zero.  However, inode
B's ioend work was queued behind some of inode A's ioend work on the
same cpu's ext4-dio-unwritten workqueue.  As the ext4-dio-unwritten
thread on that cpu is processing inode A's ioend work, it tries to
grab inode A's i_mutex lock.  Since the i_mutex lock of inode A is
still hold before the page fault happened, we enter a deadlock.

dccaf33fa3 ext4: flush any pending end_io requests before DIO reads w/dioread_nolock
There is a race between ext4 buffer write and direct_IO read with
dioread_nolock mount option enabled. The problem is that we clear
PageWriteback flag during end_io time but will do
uninitialized-to-initialized extent conversion later with dioread_nolock.
If an O_direct read request comes in during this period, ext4 will return
zero instead of the recently written data.

This patch checks whether there are any pending uninitialized-to-initialized
extent conversion requests before doing O_direct read to close the race.
Note that this is just a bandaid fix. The fundamental issue is that we
clear PageWriteback flag before we really complete an IO, which is
problem-prone. To fix the fundamental issue, we may need to implement an
extent tree cache that we can use to look up pending to-be-converted extents.

9dd75f1f1a ext4: fix nomblk_io_submit option so it correctly converts uninit blocks
Bug discovered by Jan Kara:

Finally, commit 1449032be1 returned back
the old IO submission code but apparently it forgot to return the old
handling of uninitialized buffers so we unconditionnaly call
block_write_full_page() without specifying end_io function. So AFAICS
we never convert unwritten extents to written in some cases. For
example when I mount the fs as: mount -t ext4 -o
nomblk_io_submit,dioread_nolock /dev/ubdb /mnt and do
        int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, 0600);
        char buf[1024];
        memset(buf, 'a', sizeof(buf));
        fallocate(fd, 0, 0, 16384);
        write(fd, buf, sizeof(buf));

I get a file full of zeros (after remounting the filesystem so that
pagecache is dropped) instead of seeing the first KB contain 'a's.

EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN flag set and the increase of i_aiodio_unwritten
should be done simultaneously since ext4_end_io_nolock always clear
the flag and decrease the counter in the same time.

We don't increase i_aiodio_unwritten when setting
EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN so it will go nagative and causes some process
to wait forever.

Part of the patch came from Eric in his e-mail, but it doesn't fix the

2581fdc810 ext4: call ext4_ioend_wait and ext4_flush_completed_IO in ext4_evict_inode
Flush inode's i_completed_io_list before calling ext4_io_wait to
prevent the following deadlock scenario: A page fault happens while
some process is writing inode A. During page fault,
shrink_icache_memory is called that in turn evicts another inode
B. Inode B has some pending io_end work so it calls ext4_ioend_wait()
that waits for inode B's i_ioend_count to become zero. However, inode
B's ioend work was queued behind some of inode A's ioend work on the
same cpu's ext4-dio-unwritten workqueue. As the ext4-dio-unwritten
thread on that cpu is processing inode A's ioend work, it tries to
grab inode A's i_mutex lock. Since the i_mutex lock of inode A is
still hold before the page fault happened, we enter a deadlock.

Also moves ext4_flush_completed_IO and ext4_ioend_wait from
ext4_destroy_inode() to ext4_evict_inode(). During inode deleteion,
ext4_evict_inode() is called before ext4_destroy_inode() and in
ext4_evict_inode(), we may call ext4_truncate() without holding
i_mutex lock. As a result, there is a race between flush_completed_IO
that is called from ext4_ext_truncate() and ext4_end_io_work, which
may cause corruption on an io_end structure. This change moves
ext4_flush_completed_IO and ext4_ioend_wait from ext4_destroy_inode()
to ext4_evict_inode() to resolve the race between ext4_truncate() and
ext4_end_io_work during inode deletion.

441c850857 ext4: Fix ext4_should_writeback_data() for no-journal mode
ext4_should_writeback_data() had an incorrect sequence of
tests to determine if it should return 0 or 1: in
particular, even in no-journal mode, 0 was being returned
for a non-regular-file inode.

This meant that, in non-journal mode, we would use
ext4_journalled_aops for directories, symlinks, and other
non-regular files.  However, calling journalled aop
callbacks when there is no valid handle, can cause problems.

This would cause a kernel crash with Jan Kara's commit
2d859db3e4 ("ext4: fix data corruption in inodes with
journalled data"), because we now dereference 'handle' in
ext4_journalled_write_end().

I also added BUG_ONs to check for a valid handle in the
obviously journal-only aops callbacks.

I tested this running xfstests with a scratch device in
these modes:

   - no-journal
   - data=ordered
   - data=writeback
   - data=journal

All work fine; the data=journal run has many failures and a
crash in xfstests 074, but this is no different from a
vanilla kernel.

Commit df5e622340 ("ext4: fix deadlock in ext4_symlink() in ENOSPC
conditions") recalculated the number of credits needed for a long
symlink, in the process of splitting it into two transactions.  However,
the first credit calculation under-counted because if selinux is
enabled, credits are needed to create the selinux xattr as well.

Overrunning the reservation will result in an OOPS in
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() due to this assert:

  J_ASSERT_JH(jh, handle->h_buffer_credits > 0);

Fix this by increasing the reservation size.

In previous code, block bitmap is modified everywhere in
setup_new_group_blocks(), ext4_get_write_access() in

bitmap stays in the new handle, this makes things complicated.

The previous commit changed things so that the modifications on the
block bitmap are batched and done by ext4_set_bits() at the end of the
for loop.  This allows us to simplify things.

8f82f840ec ext4: prevent parallel resizers by atomic bit ops
Before this patch, parallel resizers are allowed and protected by a
mutex lock, actually, there is no need to support parallel resizer, so
this patch prevents parallel resizers by atmoic bit ops, like
lock_page() and unlock_page() do.

To do this, the patch removed the mutex lock s_resize_lock from struct
ext4_sb_info and added a unsigned long field named s_resize_flags
which inidicates if there is a resizer.

2d859db3e4 ext4: fix data corruption in inodes with journalled data
When journalling data for an inode (either because it is a symlink or
because the filesystem is mounted in data=journal mode), ext4_evict_inode()
can discard unwritten data by calling truncate_inode_pages(). This is
because we don't mark the buffer / page dirty when journalling data but only
add the buffer to the running transaction and thus mm does not know there
are still unwritten data.

Fix the problem by carefully tracking transaction containing inode's data,
committing this transaction, and writing uncheckpointed buffers when inode
should be reaped.

9d8f13ba3f security: new security_inode_init_security API adds function callback
This patch changes the security_inode_init_security API by adding a
filesystem specific callback to write security extended attributes.
This change is in preparation for supporting the initialization of
multiple LSM xattrs and the EVM xattr.  Initially the callback function
walks an array of xattrs, writing each xattr separately, but could be
optimized to write multiple xattrs at once.

For existing security_inode_init_security() calls, which have not yet
been converted to use the new callback function, such as those in
reiserfs and ocfs2, this patch defines security_old_inode_init_security().

If eh_entries is equal to (or greater than) eh_max, the operation of

So check eh_entries before inserting the new extent_idx.

Although there is no bug case according the code (function
ext4_ext_insert_index is called by ext4_ext_split and ext4_ext_split
is called only if the index block has free space), the right logic
should be "lookup the capacity before insertion".

The existing logic was performing the lookup but not making

Since ext4_ext_in_cache() does not initialize newex on misses, bypassing

3d56b8d2c7 ext4: Speed up FITRIM by recording flags in ext4_group_info
In ext4, when FITRIM is called every time, we iterate all the
groups and do trim one by one. It is a bit time wasting if the
group has been trimmed and there is no change since the last
trim.

So this patch adds a new flag in ext4_group_info->bb_state to
indicate that the group has been trimmed, and it will be cleared
if some blocks is freed(in release_blocks_on_commit). Another
trim_minlen is added in ext4_sb_info to record the last minlen
we use to trim the volume, so that if the caller provide a small
one, we will go on the trim regardless of the bb_state.

A simple test with my intel x25m ssd:
df -h shows:
/dev/sdb1              40G   21G   17G  56% /mnt/ext4
Block size:               4096

run the FITRIM with the following parameter:
range.start = 0;
range.len = UINT64_MAX;
range.minlen = 1048576;

without the patch:
[root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a

A big improvement for the 2nd and 3rd run.

Even after I delete some big image files, it is still much
faster than iterating the whole disk.

169ddc3ec8 ext4: speed up group trim with the right free block count
When we trim some free blocks in a group of ext4, we need to 
calculate the free blocks properly and check whether there are
enough freed blocks left for us to trim. Current solution will
only calculate free spaces if they are large for a trim which
isn't appropriate.

Let us see a small example:
a group has 1.5M free which are 300k, 300k, 300k, 300k, 300k.
And minblocks is 1M.  With current solution, we have to iterate
the whole group since these 300k will never be subtracted from
1.5M.  But actually we should exit after we find the first 2
free spaces since the left 3 chunks only sum up to 900K if we
subtract the first 600K although they can't be trimed.
