If updating journal superblock fails after journal data has been
flushed, the error is omitted and this will mislead the caller as a
normal case. In ocfs2, the checkpoint will be treated successfully
and the other node can get the lock to update. Since the sb_start is
still pointing to the old log block, it will rewrite the journal data
during journal recovery by the other node. Thus the new updates will
be overwritten and ocfs2 corrupts. So in above case we have to return
the error, and ocfs2_commit_cache will take care of the error and
prevent the other node to do update first. And only after recovering
journal it can do the new updates.

jbd2_journal_get_write_access() and jbd2_journal_get_create_access() are
frequently called for buffers that are already part of the running
transaction - most frequently it is the case for bitmaps, inode table
blocks, and superblock. Since in such cases we have nothing to do, it is
unfortunate we still grab reference to journal head, lock the bh, lock
bh_state only to find out there's nothing to do.
Improving this is a bit subtle though since until we find out journal
head is attached to the running transaction, it can disappear from under
us because checkpointing / commit decided it's no longer needed. We deal
with this by protecting journal_head slab with RCU. We still have to be
careful about journal head being freed & reallocated within slab and
about exposing journal head in consistent state (in particular
b_modified and b_frozen_data must be in correct state before we allow
user to touch the buffer).

This basically reverts 47def82672 (jbd2: Remove __GFP_NOFAIL from jbd2
layer). The deprecation of __GFP_NOFAIL was a bad choice because it led
to open coding the endless loop around the allocator rather than
removing the dependency on the non failing allocation. So the
deprecation was a clear failure and the reality tells us that
__GFP_NOFAIL is not even close to go away.
It is still true that __GFP_NOFAIL allocations are generally discouraged
and new uses should be evaluated and an alternative (pre-allocations or
reservations) should be considered but it doesn't make any sense to lie
the allocator about the requirements. Allocator can take steps to help
making a progress if it knows the requirements.

When we're enabling journal features, we cannot use the predicate
jbd2_journal_has_csum_v2or3() because we haven't yet set the sb
feature flag fields! Moreover, we just finished loading the shash
driver, so the test is unnecessary; calculate the seed always.
Without this patch, we fail to initialize the checksum seed the first
time we turn on journal_checksum, which means that all journal blocks
written during that first mount are corrupt. Transactions written
after the second mount will be fine, since the feature flag will be
set in the journal superblock. xfstests generic/{034,321,322} are the
regression tests.

It turns out that there are some serious problems with the on-disk
format of journal checksum v2. The foremost is that the function to
calculate descriptor tag size returns sizes that are too big. This
causes alignment issues on some architectures and is compounded by the
fact that some parts of jbd2 use the structure size (incorrectly) to
determine the presence of a 64bit journal instead of checking the
feature flags.
Therefore, introduce journal checksum v3, which enlarges the
descriptor block tag format to allow for full 32-bit checksums of
journal blocks, fix the journal tag function to return the correct
sizes, and fix the jbd2 recovery code to use feature flags to
determine 64bitness.
Add a few function helpers so we don't have to open-code quite so
many pieces.
Switching to a 16-byte block size was found to increase journal size
overhead by a maximum of 0.1%, to convert a 32-bit journal with no
checksumming to a 32-bit journal with checksum v3 enabled.

In some cases we cannot start a transaction because of locking
constraints and passing started transaction into those places is not
handy either because we could block transaction commit for too long.
Transaction reservation is designed to solve these issues. It
reserves a handle with given number of credits in the journal and the
handle can be later attached to the running transaction without
blocking on commit or checkpointing. Reserved handles do not block
transaction commit in any way, they only reduce maximum size of the
running transaction (because we have to always be prepared to
accomodate request for attaching reserved handle).

__jbd2_log_space_left() and jbd_space_needed() were kind of odd.
jbd_space_needed() accounted also credits needed for currently
committing transaction while it didn't account for credits needed for
control blocks. __jbd2_log_space_left() then accounted for control
blocks as a fraction of free space. Since results of these two
functions are always only compared against each other, this works
correct but is somewhat strange. Move the estimates so that
jbd_space_needed() returns number of blocks needed for a transaction
including control blocks and __jbd2_log_space_left() returns free
space in the journal (with the committing transaction already
subtracted). Rename functions to jbd2_log_space_left() and
jbd2_space_needed() while we are changing them.

Currently when we add a buffer to a transaction, we wait until the
buffer is removed from BJ_Shadow list (so that we prevent any changes
to the buffer that is just written to the journal). This can take
unnecessarily long as a lot happens between the time the buffer is
submitted to the journal and the time when we remove the buffer from
BJ_Shadow list. (e.g. We wait for all data buffers in the
transaction, we issue a cache flush, etc.) Also this creates a
dependency of do_get_write_access() on transaction commit (namely
waiting for data IO to complete) which we want to avoid when
implementing transaction reservation.
So we modify commit code to set new BH_Shadow flag when temporary
shadowing buffer is created and we clear that flag once IO on that
buffer is complete. This allows do_get_write_access() to wait only
for BH_Shadow bit and thus removes the dependency on data IO
completion.

When writing metadata to the journal, we create temporary buffer heads
for that task. We also attach journal heads to these buffer heads but
the only purpose of the journal heads is to keep buffers linked in
transaction's BJ_IO list. We remove the need for journal heads by
reusing buffer_head's b_assoc_buffers list for that purpose. Also
since BJ_IO list is just a temporary list for transaction commit, we
use a private list in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() for that thus
removing BJ_IO list from transaction completely.

In the case where an inode has a very stale transaction id (tid) in
i_datasync_tid or i_sync_tid, it's possible that after a very large
(2**31) number of transactions, that the tid number space might wrap,
causing tid_geq()'s calculations to fail.
Commit deeeaf13 "jbd2: fix fsync() tid wraparound bug", later modified
by commit e7b04ac0 "jbd2: don't wake kjournald unnecessarily",
attempted to fix this problem, but it only avoided kjournald spinning
forever by fixing the logic in jbd2_log_start_commit().
Unfortunately, in the codepaths in fs/ext4/fsync.c and fs/ext4/inode.c
that might call jbd2_log_start_commit() with a stale tid, those
functions will subsequently call jbd2_log_wait_commit() with the same
stale tid, and then wait for a very long time. To fix this, we
replace the calls to jbd2_log_start_commit() and
jbd2_log_wait_commit() with a call to a new function,
jbd2_complete_transaction(), which will correctly handle stale tid's.
As a bonus, jbd2_complete_transaction() will avoid locking
j_state_lock for writing unless a commit needs to be started. This
should have a small (but probably not measurable) improvement for
ext4's scalability.

There are multiple reasons to move away from debugfs. First of all,
we are only using it for a single parameter, and it is much more
complicated to set up (some 30 lines of code compared to 3), and one
more thing that might fail while loading the jbd2 module.
Secondly, as a module paramter it can be specified as a boot option if
jbd2 is built into the kernel, or as a parameter when the module is
loaded, and it can also be manipulated dynamically under
/sys/module/jbd2/parameters/jbd2_debug. So it is more flexible.
Ultimately we want to move away from using jbd_debug() towards
tracepoints, but for now this is still a useful simplification of the

In theory, this should just be the remaining scheduling quantuum of

ext4: don't call ext4_error while block group is locked
ext4: avoid kmemcheck complaint from reading uninitialized memory
ext4: make sure the journal sb is written in ext4_clear_journal_err()
After we transfer set the EXT4_ERROR_FS bit in the file system
superblock, it's not enough to call jbd2_journal_clear_err() to clear
the error indication from journal superblock --- we need to call
jbd2_journal_update_sb_errno() as well. Otherwise, when the root file
system is mounted read-only, the journal is replayed, and the error
indicator is transferred to the superblock --- but the s_errno field
in the jbd2 superblock is left set (since although we cleared it in
memory, we never flushed it out to disk).
This can end up confusing e2fsck. We should make e2fsck more robust
in this case, but the kernel shouldn't be leaving things in this
confused state, either.

Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system
Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

ext4 during this merge window, but his patches had some bugs, so I
ultimately ended dropping them from the ext4 tree.)

Normally, we have to issue a cache flush before we can update journal tail in
journal superblock, effectively wiping out old transactions from the journal.
So use the fact that during transaction commit we issue cache flush anyway and
opportunistically push journal tail as far as we can. Since update of journal
superblock is still costly (we have to use WRITE_FUA), we update log tail only
if we can free significant amount of space.

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.

With the latest and greatest changes to the freezer, I started seeing
panics that were caused by jbd2 running post-process freezing and
hitting the canary BUG_ON for non-TuxOnIce I/O submission. I've traced
this back to a lack of set_freezable calls in both jbd and jbd2. Since
they're clearly meant to be frozen (there are tests for freezing()), I
submit the following patch to add the missing calls.
