Do not iterate over data blocks scanning for bh's to forget as they're
never exist. This improves time taken by unlink / truncate syscall.
Tested by continuously truncating file that is being written by dd.
Another test is rm -rf of linux tree while tar unpacks it. With
ordered data mode condition unlikely(!tbh) was always met in
ext4_free_blocks. With journal data mode tbh was found only few times,
so optimisation is also possible.

Currently in ext4 the length of zero-out chunk is set to 7 file system
blocks. But if an inode has uninitailized extents from using
fallocate to preallocate space, and the workload issues many random
writes, this can cause a fragmented extent tree that will
unnecessarily grow the extent tree.
So create a new sysfs tunable, extent_max_zeroout_kb, which controls
the maximum size where blocks will be zeroed out instead of creating a
new uninitialized extent. The default of this has been sent to 32kb.

If an inode has more than 4 extents, but then later some of the
extents are merged together, we can optimize the file system by moving
the extents up into the inode, and discarding the extent tree block.
This is important, because if there are a large number of inodes with
an external extent tree blocks where the contents could fit in the
inode, this can significantly increase the fsck time of the file
system.

Commit 968dee7722: "ext4: fix hole punch failure when depth is greater

ext4 filesystems on RAID devices:

This could be reproduced as follows:
The problem in commit 968dee7722 was that caused the variable 'i' to
be left uninitialized if the truncate required more space than was
available in the journal. This resulted in the function
ext4_ext_truncate_extend_restart() returning -EAGAIN, which caused
ext4_ext_remove_space() to restart the truncate operation after
starting a new jbd2 handle.

Whether to continue removing extents or not is decided by the return
value of function ext4_ext_more_to_rm() which checks 2 conditions:
a) if there are no more indexes to process.
b) if the number of entries are decreased in the header of "depth -1".
In case of hole punch, if the last block to be removed is not part of
the last extent index than this index will not be deleted, hence the
number of valid entries in the extent header of "depth - 1" will
remain as it is and ext4_ext_more_to_rm will return 0 although the
required blocks are not yet removed.
This patch fixes the above mentioned problem as instead of removing
the extents from the end of file, it starts removing the blocks from
the particular extent from which removing blocks is actually required
and continue backward until done.

When truncating a file, we unmap pages from userspace first, as that's
usually more efficient than relying, page by page, on the fallback in
truncate_inode_page() - particularly if the file is mapped many times.
Do the same when punching a hole: 3.4 added truncate_pagecache_range()
to do the unmap and trunc, so use it in ext4_ext_punch_hole(), instead
of calling truncate_inode_pages_range() directly.

This commit rewrites ext4 punch hole implementation to use
ext4_ext_remove_space() instead of its home gown way of doing this via
ext4_ext_map_blocks(). There are several reasons for changing this.
Firstly it is quite non obvious that punching hole needs to
ext4_ext_map_blocks() to punch a hole, especially given that this
function should map blocks, not unmap it. It also required a lot of new
code in ext4_ext_map_blocks().
Secondly the design of it is not very effective. The reason is that we
are trying to punch out blocks in ext4_ext_punch_hole() in opposite
direction than in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() which causes the ext4_ext_rm_leaf()
to iterate through the whole tree from the end to the start to find the
requested extent for every extent we are going to punch out.
And finally the current implementation does not use the existing code,
but bring a lot of new code, which is IMO unnecessary since there
already is some infrastructure we can use. Specifically
ext4_ext_remove_space().
This commit changes ext4_ext_remove_space() to accept 'end' parameter so
we can not only truncate to the end of file, but also remove the space
in the middle of the file (punch a hole). Moreover, because the last
block to punch out, might be in the middle of the extent, we have to
split the extent at 'end + 1' so ext4_ext_rm_leaf() can easily either
remove the whole fist part of split extent, or change its size.
ext4_ext_remove_space() is then used to actually remove the space
(extents) from within the hole, instead of ext4_ext_map_blocks().
Note that this also fix the issue with punch hole, where we would forget
to remove empty index blocks from the extent tree, resulting in double
free block error and file system corruption. This is simply because we
now use different code path, where this problem does not exist.
This has been tested with fsx running for several days and xfstests,
plus xfstest #251 with '-o discard' run on the loop image (which
converts discard requestes into punch hole to the backing file). All of
it on 1K and 4K file system block size.

Tested: Without this patch, the file system image found in
tests/f_ext_zero_len/image.gz in the latest e2fsprogs sources causes a
kernel panic. With this patch, an ext4 file system error is noted
instead, and the file system is marked as being corrupted.

We found performance regression when using bigalloc with "nodelalloc"
(1MB cluster size):
1. mke2fs -C 1048576 -O ^has_journal,bigalloc /dev/sda
2. mount -o nodelalloc /dev/sda /test/
3. time dd if=/dev/zero of=/test/io bs=1048576 count=1024
The "dd" will cost about 2 seconds to finish, but if we mke2fs without
"bigalloc", "dd" will only cost less than 1 second.
The reason is: when using ext4 with "nodelalloc", it will call
ext4_find_delalloc_cluster() nearly everytime it call
ext4_ext_map_blocks(), and ext4_find_delalloc_range() will also scan
all pages in cluster because no buffer is "delayed". A cluster has
256 pages (1MB cluster), so it will scan 256 * 256k pags when creating
a 1G file. That severely hurts the performance.
Therefore, we return immediately from ext4_find_delalloc_range() in
nodelalloc mode, since by definition there can't be any delalloc
pages.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When allocated is unsigned it breaks the error handling at the end
of the function when we call:
allocated = ext4_split_extent(...);
if (allocated < 0)
err = allocated;
I've made it a signed int instead of unsigned.

EOFBLOCK_FL should be updated if called w/o FALLOCATE_FL_KEEP_SIZE
Currently it happens only if new extent was allocated.
TESTCASE:
fallocate test_file -n -l4096
fallocate test_file -l4096
Last fallocate cmd has updated size, but keept EOFBLOCK_FL set. And
fsck will complain about that.
Also remove ping pong in ext4_fallocate() in case of new extents,
where ext4_ext_map_blocks() clear EOFBLOCKS bit, and later
ext4_falloc_update_inode() restore it again.

- Both callers(truncate and punch_hole) already aligned left end point
so we no longer need split logic here.
- Remove dead duplicated code.
- Call ext4_ext_dirty only after we have updated eh_entries, otherwise
we'll loose entries update. Regression caused by d583fb87a3

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 ]

The comment describing what ext4_ext_search_right() does is incorrect.
We return 0 in *phys when *logical is the 'largest' allocated block,
not smallest.
Fix a few other typos while we're at it.
