Move two functions that will be needed by the indirect functions to be

sync(2) is performed in two stages: the WB_SYNC_NONE sync and the
WB_SYNC_ALL sync. Identify the first stage with .tagged_writepages and
do livelock prevention for it, too.
Jan's commit f446daaea9 ("mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance
using page tagging") is a partial fix in that it only fixed the
WB_SYNC_ALL phase livelock.
Although ext4 is tested to no longer livelock with commit f446daaea9,
it may due to some "redirty_tail() after pages_skipped" effect which
is by no means a guarantee for _all_ the file systems.
Note that writeback_inodes_sb() is called by not only sync(), they are
treated the same because the other callers also need livelock prevention.
Impact: It changes the order in which pages/inodes are synced to disk.
Now in the WB_SYNC_NONE stage, it won't proceed to write the next inode
until finished with the current inode.

This patch adds new routines: "ext4_punch_hole" "ext4_ext_punch_hole"
and "ext4_ext_check_cache"
fallocate has been modified to call ext4_punch_hole when the punch hole
flag is passed. At the moment, we only support punching holes in
extents, so this routine is pretty much a wrapper for the ext4_ext_punch_hole
routine.
The ext4_ext_punch_hole routine first completes all outstanding writes
with the associated pages, and then releases them. The unblock
aligned data is zeroed, and all blocks in between are punched out.
The ext4_ext_check_cache routine is very similar to ext4_ext_in_cache
except it accepts a ext4_ext_cache parameter instead of a ext4_extent
parameter. This routine is used by ext4_ext_punch_hole to check and
see if a block in a hole that has been cached. The ext4_ext_cache
parameter is necessary because the members ext4_extent structure are
not large enough to hold a 32 bit value. The existing
ext4_ext_in_cache routine has become a wrapper to this new function.

In commit c8d46e41 (ext4: Add flag to files with blocks intentionally
past EOF), if the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag is set, we call ext4_truncate()
before calling vmtruncate(). This caused any allocated but unwritten
blocks created by calling fallocate() with the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE
flag to be dropped. This was done to make to make sure that
EOFBLOCKS_FL would not be cleared while still leaving blocks past
i_size allocated. This was not necessary, since ext4_truncate()
guarantees that blocks past i_size will be dropped, even in the case
where truncate() has increased i_size before calling ext4_truncate().
So fix this by removing the EOFBLOCKS_FL special case treatment in
ext4_setattr(). In addition, use truncate_setsize() followed by a
call to ext4_truncate() instead of using vmtruncate(). This is more
efficient since it skips the call to inode_newsize_ok(), which has
been checked already by inode_change_ok(). This is also in a win in
the case where EOFBLOCKS_FL is set since it avoids calling
ext4_truncate() twice.

If we have accumulated a contiguous region of memory to be written
out, and the next page can added to this region, don't bother locking
(and then unlocking the page) before writing out the memory. In the

Because the ext4 page writeback codepath had been prematurely calling
clear_page_dirty_for_io(), if it turned out that a particular page
couldn't be written out during a particular pass of
write_cache_pages_da(), the page would have to get redirtied by
calling redirty_pages_for_writeback(). Not only was this wasted work,
but redirty_page_for_writeback() would increment wbc->pages_skipped to
signal to writeback_sb_inodes() that buffers were locked, and that it
should skip this inode until later.
Since this signal was incorrect in ext4's case --- which was caused by
ext4's historically incorrect use of write_cache_pages() ---
ext4_da_writepages() saved and restored wbc->skipped_pages to avoid
confusing writeback_sb_inodes().
Now that we've fixed ext4 to call clear_page_dirty_for_io() right
before initiating the page I/O, we can nuke the page_skipped
save/restore hackery, and breathe a sigh of relief.

If ext4_da_block_invalidatepages() is called because of a

it's supposed to clean up -- including unlock -- all the

up, even on a system in which block size == page size:
mpd->b_blocknr != mpd->first_page
mpd->b_size != (mpd->next_page - mpd->first_page)
ext4_da_block_invalidatepages() has been using b_blocknr and
b_size; this patch changes it to use first_page and
next_page.

Jon Nelson has found a test case which causes postgresql to fail with

Under memory pressure, it looks like part of a file can end up getting

back the change and use block_write_full_page() instead of
ext4_bio_write_page(). The new, more efficient writing function can
be used via the mount option mblk_io_submit, so we can test and fix

To reproduce the problem, install postgres 8.4 or 9.0, and pin enough
memory such that the system just at the end of triggering writeback
before running the following sql script:
begin;
create temporary table foo as select x as a, ARRAY[x] as b FROM
generate_series(1, 10000000 ) AS x;
create index foo_a_idx on foo (a);
create index foo_b_idx on foo USING GIN (b);
rollback;
If the temporary table is created on a hard drive partition which is
encrypted using dm_crypt, then under memory pressure, approximately
30-40% of the time, pgsql will issue the above failure.
This patch should fix this problem, and the problem will come back if
the file system is mounted with the mblk_io_submit mount option.

As pointed out in a prior patch, updating the mapping's
writeback_index based on pages written isn't quite right;
what the writeback index is really supposed to reflect is
the next page which should be scanned for writeback during
periodic flush.
As in write_cache_pages(), write_cache_pages_da() does
this scanning for us as we assemble the mpd for later
writeout. If we keep track of the next page after the
current scan, we can easily update writeback_index without
worrying about pages written vs. pages skipped, etc.
Without this, an fsync will reset writeback_index to
0 (its starting index) + however many pages it wrote, which
can mess up the progress of periodic flush.

This is analogous to Jan Kara's commit,
f446daaea9
mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging
but since we forked write_cache_pages, we need to reimplement
it there (and in ext4_da_writepages, since range_cyclic handling
was moved to there)
If you start a large buffered IO to a file, and then set
fsync after it, you'll find that fsync does not complete
until the other IO stops.
If you continue re-dirtying the file (say, putting dd
with conv=notrunc in a loop), when fsync finally completes
(after all IO is done), it reports via tracing that
it has written many more pages than the file contains;
in other words it has synced and re-synced pages in
the file multiple times.
This then leads to problems with our writeback_index
update, since it advances it by pages written, and
essentially sets writeback_index off the end of the
file...
With the following patch, we only sync as much as was
dirty at the time of the sync.

its previous life as a callback; make it reflect the actual type.
Fixing this up makes it slightly more obvious to read, and
enables proper typechecking.

This massively simplifies the ext4_da_writepages() code path by
completely removing mpage_put_bnr_bhs(), which is almost 100 lines of
code iterating over a set of pages using pagevec_lookup(), and folds
that functionality into mpage_da_submit_io()'s existing
pagevec_lookup() loop.

Expand the call:
if (walk_page_buffers(NULL, page_bufs, 0, len, NULL,
ext4_bh_delay_or_unwritten))
goto redirty_page
into mpage_da_submit_io().
This will allow us to merge in mpage_put_bnr_to_bhs() in the next

As a prepratory step to switching to bio_submit, inline
ext4_writepage() into mpage_da_submit() and then simplify things a
bit. This makes it clearer what mpage_da_submit needs to do.
Also, move the ClearPageChecked(page) call into
__ext4_journalled_writepage(), as a minor bit of cleanup refactoring.
This also allows us to pull i_size_read() and
ext4_should_journal_data() out of the loop, which should be a very
minor CPU savings.

The actual code in ext4_writepage() is unnecessarily convoluted.

Eventually we need to completely reorganize the ext4 writepage
callpath, but for now, we simplify things a little by calling
mpage_da_submit_io() from mpage_da_map_blocks(), since all of the
places where we call mpage_da_map_blocks() it is followed up by a call
to mpage_da_submit_io().
We're also a wee bit better with respect to error handling, but there
are still a number of issues where it's not clear what the right thing
is to do with ext4 functions deep in the writeback codepath fails.

By queuing the io end on the unwritten workqueue before adding it
to our inode's list of completed IOs, I think we run the risk
of the work getting completed, and the IO freed, before we try
to add it to the inode's i_completed_io_list.
It should be safe to add it to the inode's list of completed
IOs, and -then- queue it for completion, I think.

On linux-2.6.36-rc2, if we execute the following script, we can hang
the system when the /bin/sync command is executed:
========================================================================
#!/bin/sh
echo -n "HANG UP TEST: "
/bin/dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/img bs=1k count=1 seek=1M 2> /dev/null

/bin/sync
/bin/umount /mnt
echo "DONE"
exit 0
========================================================================
We can see the following backtrace if we get the kdump when this
hangup occurs:
======================================================================
kthread()
=> bdi_writeback_thread()
=> wb_do_writeback()
=> wb_writeback()
=> writeback_inodes_wb()
=> writeback_sb_inodes()
=> writeback_single_inode()
=> ext4_da_writepages() ---+
^ infinite |
| loop |
+-------------+
======================================================================
The reason why this hangup happens is described as follows:
1) We write the last extent block of the file whose size is the filesystem
maximum size.
2) "BH_Delay" flag is set on the buffer_head of its block.
3) - the member, "m_lblk" of struct mpage_da_data is 4294967295 (UINT_MAX)
- the member, "m_len" of struct mpage_da_data is 1
mpage_put_bnr_to_bhs() which is called via ext4_da_writepages()
cannot clear "BH_Delay" flag of the buffer_head because the type of
m_lblk is ext4_lblk_t and then m_lblk + m_len is overflow.
Therefore an infinite loop occurs because ext4_da_writepages()
cannot write the page (which corresponds to the block) since
"BH_Delay" flag isn't cleared.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
static void mpage_put_bnr_to_bhs(struct mpage_da_data *mpd,
struct ext4_map_blocks *map)
{
...
int blocks = map->m_len;
...
do {
// cur_logical = 4294967295
// map->m_lblk = 4294967295
// blocks = 1
// *** map->m_lblk + blocks == 0 (OVERFLOW!) ***
// (cur_logical >= map->m_lblk + blocks) => true
if (cur_logical >= map->m_lblk + blocks)
break;

In data=journal mode, we still use block_write_begin() to prepare
page for writing. This function can occasionally mark buffer dirty
which violates journalling assumptions - when a buffer is part of
a transaction, it should be dirty and a buffer can be already part
of a forget list of some transaction when block_write_begin()
gets called. This violation of journalling assumptions then results
in "JBD: Spotted dirty metadata buffer..." warnings.
In fact, temporary dirtying the buffer while the page is still locked
does not really cause problems to the journalling because we won't write
the buffer until the page gets unlocked. So we just have to make sure
to clear dirty bits before unlocking the page.

so that we can call aio_complete from ext4_end_io_nolock() after the extent
conversion has finished.
I have verified with Christoph's aio-dio test that used to fail after a few
runs on an original kernel but now succeeds on the patched kernel.

We have experienced bitmap inconsistencies after crash during file

the following patch in ext4_free_branches() fixes the recovery
problem.
If the transaction is restarted and there is a crash before the new
transaction is committed, then after recovery, the blocks that this
indirect block points to have been freed, but the indirect block
itself has not been freed and may still point to some of the free
blocks (because of the ext4_forget()).
So ext4_forget() should be called inside ext4_free_blocks() to avoid
