bd9db175dd ext4: handle symlink properly with inline_data
This commit tries to fix a bug that we can't read symlink properly with
inline data feature when the length of symlink is greater than 60 bytes
but less than extra space.

The key issue is in ext4_inode_is_fast_symlink() that it doesn't check
whether or not an inode has inline data.  When the user creates a new
symlink, an inode will be allocated with MAY_INLINE_DATA flag.  Then
symlink will be stored in ->i_block and extended attribute space.  In
the mean time, this inode is with inline data flag.  After remounting
it, ext4_inode_is_fast_symlink() function thinks that this inode is a
fast symlink so that the data in ->i_block is copied to the user, and
the data in extra space is trimmed.  In fact this inode should be as a
normal symlink.

The following script can hit this bug.

  #!/bin/bash

  cd ${MNT}
  filename=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789
  rm -rf test
  mkdir test
  cd test
  echo "hello" >$filename
  ln -s $filename symlinkfile
  cd
  sudo umount /mnt/sda1
  sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
  readlink /mnt/sda1/test/symlinkfile

After applying this patch, it will break the assumption in e2fsck
because the original implementation doesn't want to support symlink
with inline data.

1c8349a171 ext4: fix data integrity sync in ordered mode
When we perform a data integrity sync we tag all the dirty pages with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE at start of ext4_da_writepages.  Later we check
for this tag in write_cache_pages_da and creates a struct
mpage_da_data containing contiguously indexed pages tagged with this
tag and sync these pages with a call to mpage_da_map_and_submit.  This
process is done in while loop until all the PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE
pages are synced. We also do journal start and stop in each iteration.
journal_stop could initiate journal commit which would call
ext4_writepage which in turn will call ext4_bio_write_page even for
delayed OR unwritten buffers. When ext4_bio_write_page is called for
such buffers, even though it does not sync them but it clears the
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE of the corresponding page and hence these pages
are also not synced by the currently running data integrity sync. We
will end up with dirty pages although sync is completed.

This could cause a potential data loss when the sync call is followed
by a truncate_pagecache call, which is exactly the case in
collapse_range.  (It will cause generic/127 failure in xfstests)

To avoid this issue, we can use set_page_writeback_keepwrite instead of
set_page_writeback, which doesn't clear TOWRITE tag.

556615dcbf ext4: rename uninitialized extents to unwritten
Currently in ext4 there is quite a mess when it comes to naming
unwritten extents. Sometimes we call it uninitialized and sometimes we
refer to it as unwritten.

The right name for the extent which has been allocated but does not
contain any written data is _unwritten_. Other file systems are
using this name consistently, even the buffer head state refers to it as
unwritten. We need to fix this confusion in ext4.

This commit changes every reference to an uninitialized extent (meaning
allocated but unwritten) to unwritten extent. This includes comments,
function names and variable names. It even covers abbreviation of the
word uninitialized (such as uninit) and some misspellings.

This commit does not change any of the code paths at all. This has been
confirmed by comparing md5sums of the assembly code of each object file
after all the function names were stripped from it.

090f32ee4e ext4: get rid of EXT4_MAP_UNINIT flag
Currently EXT4_MAP_UNINIT is used in dioread_nolock case to mark the
cases where we're using dioread_nolock and we're writing into either
unallocated, or unwritten extent, because we need to make sure that
any DIO write into that inode will wait for the extent conversion.

However EXT4_MAP_UNINIT is not only entirely misleading name but also
unnecessary because we can check for EXT4_MAP_UNWRITTEN in the
dioread_nolock case instead.

This commit removes EXT4_MAP_UNINIT flag.

ef24f6c234 ext4: discard preallocations after removing space
Currently in ext4_collapse_range() and ext4_punch_hole() we're
discarding preallocation twice. Once before we attempt to do any changes
and second time after we're done with the changes.

While the second call to ext4_discard_preallocations() in
ext4_punch_hole() case is not needed, we need to discard preallocation
right after ext4_ext_remove_space() in collapse range case because in
the case we had to restart a transaction in the middle of removing space
we might have new preallocations created.

Remove unneeded ext4_discard_preallocations() ext4_punch_hole() and move
it to the better place in ext4_collapse_range()

622cad1325 ext4: move ext4_update_i_disksize() into mpage_map_and_submit_extent()

the function mpage_map_and_submit_extent().  Move its code to simplify
the code paths, and also move the call to ext4_mark_inode_dirty() into

4adb6ab3e0 ext4: FIBMAP ioctl causes BUG_ON due to handle EXT_MAX_BLOCKS
When we try to get 2^32-1 block of the file which has the extent
(ee_block=2^32-2, ee_len=1) with FIBMAP ioctl, it causes BUG_ON
in ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache().

To avoid the problem, ext4_map_blocks() needs to check the file logical block
number. ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache() called via ext4_map_blocks() cannot
handle 2^32-1 because the maximum file logical block number is 2^32-2.

Note that ext4_ind_map_blocks() returns -EIO when the block number is invalid.
So ext4_map_blocks() should also return the same errno.

91b0abe36a mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache
Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

c4f6570605 ext4: kill i_version support for Hurd-castrated file systems
The Hurd file system uses uses the inode field which is now used for
i_version for its translator block.  This means that ext2 file systems
that are formatted for GNU Hurd can't be used to support NFSv4.  Given
that Hurd file systems don't support extents, and a huge number of
modern file system features, this is no great loss.

If we don't do this, the attempt to update the i_version field will
stomp over the translator block field, which will cause file system
corruption for Hurd file systems.  This can be replicated via:

mke2fs -t ext2 -o hurd /dev/vdc
mount -t ext4 /dev/vdc /vdc
touch /vdc/bug0000
umount /dev/vdc

It can be used to convert a range of file to zeros preferably without

holes in the file, and the entire range is preferable converted to
unwritten extents

This can be also used to preallocate blocks past EOF in the same way as
with fallocate. Flag FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE which should cause the inode
size to remain the same.

10542c229a ext4: Speedup WB_SYNC_ALL pass called from sync(2)
When doing filesystem wide sync, there's no need to force transaction
commit (or synchronously write inode buffer) separately for each inode
because ext4_sync_fs() takes care of forcing commit at the end (VFS
takes care of flushing buffer cache, respectively). Most of the time
this slowness doesn't manifest because previous WB_SYNC_NONE writeback
doesn't leave much to write but when there are processes aggressively
creating new files and several filesystems to sync, the sync slowness
can be noticeable. In the following test script sync(1) takes around 6
minutes when there are two ext4 filesystems mounted on a standard SATA
drive. After this patch sync takes a couple of seconds so we have about
two orders of magnitude improvement.

e251f9bca9 ext4: avoid exposure of stale data in ext4_punch_hole()
While handling punch-hole fallocate, it's useless to truncate page cache
before removing the range from extent tree (or block map in indirect case)
because page cache can be re-populated (by read-ahead or read(2) or mmap-ed
read) immediately after truncating page cache, but before updating extent
tree (or block map). In that case the user will see stale data even after
fallocate is completed.

Until the problem of data corruption resulting from pages backed by
already freed blocks is fully resolved, the simple thing we can do now
is to add another truncation of pagecache after punch hole is done.

e861b5e9a4 ext4: avoid possible overflow in ext4_map_blocks()
The ext4_map_blocks() function returns the number of blocks which
satisfying the caller's request.  This number of blocks requested by
the caller is specified by an unsigned integer, but the return value
of ext4_map_blocks() is a signed integer (to accomodate error codes
per the kernel's standard error signalling convention).

Historically, overflows could never happen since mballoc() will refuse
to allocate more than 2048 blocks at a time (which is something we
should fix), and if the blocks were already allocated, the fact that
there would be some number of intervening metadata blocks pretty much
guaranteed that there could never be a contiguous region of data
blocks that was greater than 2**31 blocks.

However, this is now possible if there is a file system which is a bit
bigger than 8TB, and is created using the new mke2fs hugeblock
feature, which can create a perfectly contiguous file.  In that case,
if a userspace program attempted to call fallocate() on this already
fully allocated file, it's possible that ext4_map_blocks() could
return a number large enough that it would overflow a signed integer,
resulting in a ext4 thinking that the ext4_map_blocks() call had
failed with some strange error code.

Since ext4_map_blocks() is always free to return a smaller number of
blocks than what was requested by the caller, fix this by capping the
number of blocks that ext4_map_blocks() will ever try to map to 2**31
- 1.  In practice this should never get hit, except by someone
deliberately trying to provke the above-described bug.

Thanks to the PaX team for asking whethre this could possibly happen
in some off-line discussions about using some static code checking
technology they are developing to find bugs in kernel code.

8c9367fd9b ext4: don't pass freed handle to ext4_walk_page_buffers
This is harmless, since ext4_walk_page_buffers only passes the handle
onto the callback function, and in this call site the function in
question, bput_one(), doesn't actually use the handle.  But there's no
point passing in an invalid handle, and it creates a Coverity warning,
so let's just clean it up.

34cf865d54 ext4: fix deadlock when writing in ENOSPC conditions
Akira-san has been reporting rare deadlocks of his machine when running
xfstests test 269 on ext4 filesystem. The problem turned out to be in
ext4_da_reserve_metadata() and ext4_da_reserve_space() which called
ext4_should_retry_alloc() while holding i_data_sem. Since
ext4_should_retry_alloc() can force a transaction commit, this is a
lock ordering violation and leads to deadlocks.

Fix the problem by just removing the retry loops. These functions should
just report ENOSPC to the caller (e.g. ext4_da_write_begin()) and that
function must take care of retrying after dropping all necessary locks.

dff6efc326 fs: fix iversion handling
Currently notify_change directly updates i_version for size updates,
which not only is counter to how all other fields are updated through
struct iattr, but also breaks XFS, which need inode updates to happen
under its own lock, and synchronized to the structure that gets written
to the log.

Remove the update in the common code, and it to btrfs and ext4,
XFS already does a proper updaste internally and currently gets a
double update with the existing code.

IMHO this is 3.13 and -stable material and should go in through the XFS

aeac589a74 ext4: fix performance regression in ext4_writepages
Commit 4e7ea81db5(ext4: restructure writeback path) introduces another
performance regression on random write:

- one more page may be added to ext4 extent in
  mpage_prepare_extent_to_map, and will be submitted for I/O so
  nr_to_write will become -1 before 'done' is set

- the worse thing is that dirty pages may still be retrieved from page
  cache after nr_to_write becomes negative, so lots of small chunks
  can be submitted to block device when page writeback is catching up
  with write path, and performance is hurted.

On one arm A15 board with sata 3.0 SSD(CPU: 1.5GHz dura core, RAM:
2GB, SATA controller: 3.0Gbps), this patch can improve below test's
result from 157MB/sec to 174MB/sec(>10%):

	dd if=/dev/zero of=./z.img bs=8K count=512K

The above test is actually prototype of block write in bonnie++
utility.

This patch makes sure no more pages than nr_to_write can be added to
extent for mapping, so that nr_to_write won't become negative.

9c12a831d7 ext4: fix performance regression in writeback of random writes
The Linux Kernel Performance project guys have reported that commit
4e7ea81db5 introduces a performance regression for the following fio
workload:

[global]
direct=0
ioengine=mmap
size=1500M
bs=4k
pre_read=1
numjobs=1
overwrite=1
loops=5
runtime=300
group_reporting
invalidate=0
directory=/mnt/
file_service_type=random:36
file_service_type=random:36

[job0]
startdelay=0
rw=randrw
filename=data0/f1:data0/f2

[job1]
startdelay=0
rw=randrw
filename=data0/f2:data0/f1
...

[job7]
startdelay=0
rw=randrw
filename=data0/f2:data0/f1

The culprit of the problem is that after the commit ext4_writepages()
are more aggressive in writing back pages. Thus we have less consecutive
dirty pages resulting in more seeking.

This increased aggressivity is caused by a bug in the condition
terminating ext4_writepages(). We start writing from the beginning of
the file even if we should have terminated ext4_writepages() because
wbc->nr_to_write <= 0.

After fixing the condition the throughput of the fio workload is about 20%
better than before writeback reorganization.

7caef26767 truncate: drop 'oldsize' truncate_pagecache() parameter
truncate_pagecache() doesn't care about old size since commit
cedabed49b ("vfs: Fix vmtruncate() regression").  Let's drop it.

Pull vfs pile 1 from Al Viro:
 "Unfortunately, this merge window it'll have a be a lot of small piles -
  my fault, actually, for not keeping #for-next in anything that would
  resemble a sane shape ;-/

  This pile: assorted fixes (the first 3 are -stable fodder, IMO) and
  cleanups + %pd/%pD formats (dentry/file pathname, up to 4 last
  components) + several long-standing patches from various folks.

  There definitely will be a lot more (starting with Miklos'
  check_submount_and_drop() series)"

7b7a8665ed direct-io: Implement generic deferred AIO completions
Add support to the core direct-io code to defer AIO completions to user
context using a workqueue.  This replaces opencoded and less efficient
code in XFS and ext4 (we save a memory allocation for each direct IO)
and will be needed to properly support O_(D)SYNC for AIO.

The communication between the filesystem and the direct I/O code requires
a new buffer head flag, which is a bit ugly but not avoidable until the
direct I/O code stops abusing the buffer_head structure for communicating
with the filesystems.

Currently this creates a per-superblock unbound workqueue for these
completions, which is taken from an earlier patch by Jan Kara.  I'm
not really convinced about this use and would prefer a "normal" global
workqueue with a high concurrency limit, but this needs further discussion.

JK: Fixed ext4 part, dynamic allocation of the workqueue.
