In inode removal, we need to iterate all the buckets, remove any

Where the previous patches added the ability of list/get xattr in buckets
for ocfs2, this patch enables ocfs2 to store large numbers of EAs.
The original design doc is written by Mark Fasheh, and it can be found in
http://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2/DesignDocs/IndexedEATrees. I only had to
make small modifications to it.
First, because the bucket size is 4K, a new field named xh_free_start is added
in ocfs2_xattr_header to indicate the next valid name/value offset in a bucket.
It is used when we store new EA name/value. With this field, we can find the
place more quickly and what's more, we don't need to sort the name/value every
time to let the last entry indicate the next unused space. This makes the
insert operation more efficient for blocksizes smaller than 4k.
Because of the new xh_free_start, another field named as xh_name_value_len is
also added in ocfs2_xattr_header. It records the total length of all the
name/values in the bucket. We need this so that we can check it and defragment
the bucket if there is not enough contiguous free space.
An xattr insertion looks like this:
1. xattr_index_block_find: find the right bucket by the name_hash, say bucketA.
2. check whether there is enough space in bucketA. If yes, insert it directly
and modify xh_free_start and xh_name_value_len accordingly. If not, check
xh_name_value_len to see whether we can store this by defragment the bucket.
If yes, defragment it and go on insertion.
3. If defragement doesn't work, check whether there is new empty bucket in
the clusters within this extent record. If yes, init the new bucket and move
all the buckets after bucketA one by one to the next bucket. Move half of the
entries in bucketA to the next bucket and go on insertion.
4. If there is no new bucket, grow the extent tree.
As for xattr deletion, we will delete an xattr bucket when all it's xattrs
are removed and move all the buckets after it to the previous one. When all
the xattr buckets in an extend record are freed, free this extend records
from ocfs2_xattr_tree.

In xattr bucket, we want to limit the maximum size of a btree leaf,
otherwise we'll lose the benefits of hashing because we'll have to search
large leaves.
So add a new field in ocfs2_extent_tree which indicates the maximum leaf cluster
size we want so that we can prevent ocfs2_insert_extent() from merging the leaf
record even if it is contiguous with an adjacent record.
Other btree types are not affected by this change.

Add code to lookup a given extended attribute in the xattr btree. Lookup
follows this general scheme:
1. Use ocfs2_xattr_get_rec to find the xattr extent record
2. Find the xattr bucket within the extent which may contain this xattr
3. Iterate the bucket to find the xattr. In ocfs2_xattr_block_get(), we need
to recalcuate the block offset and name offset for the right position of
name/value.

Ocfs2 breaks up xattr index tree leaves into 4k regions, called buckets.
Attributes are stored within a given bucket, depending on hash value.
After a discussion with Mark, we decided that the per-bucket index
(xe_entry[]) would only exist in the 1st block of a bucket. Likewise,
name/value pairs will not straddle more than one block. This allows the
majority of operations to work directly on the buffer heads in a leaf block.
This patch adds code to iterate the buckets in an EA. A new abstration of
ocfs2_xattr_bucket is added. It records the bhs in this bucket and
ocfs2_xattr_header. This keeps the code neat, improving readibility.

Add some thin wrappers around ocfs2_insert_extent() for each of the 3
different btree types, ocfs2_inode_insert_extent(),
ocfs2_xattr_value_insert_extent() and ocfs2_xattr_tree_insert_extent(). The
last is for the xattr index btree, which will be used in a followup patch.
All the old callers in file.c etc will call ocfs2_dinode_insert_extent(),
while the other two handle the xattr issue. And the init of extent tree are
handled by these functions.
When storing xattr value which is too large, we will allocate some clusters
for it and here ocfs2_extent_list and ocfs2_extent_rec will also be used. In
order to re-use the b-tree operation code, a new parameter named "private"
is added into ocfs2_extent_tree and it is used to indicate the root of
ocfs2_exent_list. The reason is that we can't deduce the root from the
buffer_head now. It may be in an inode, an ocfs2_xattr_block or even worse,
in any place in an ocfs2_xattr_bucket.

Ocfs2 uses a very flexible structure for storing extended attributes on
disk. Small amount of attributes are stored directly in the inode block - up
to 256 bytes worth. If that fills up, attributes are also stored in an
external block, linked to from the inode block. That block can in turn
expand to a btree, capable of storing large numbers of attributes.
Individual attribute values are stored inline if they're small enough
(currently about 80 bytes, this can be changed though), and otherwise are
expanded to a btree. The theoretical limit to the size of an individual
attribute is about the same as an inode, though the kernel's upper bound on
the size of an attributes data is far smaller.

In the old extent tree operation, we take the hypothesis that we
are using the ocfs2_extent_list in ocfs2_dinode as the tree root.
As xattr will also use ocfs2_extent_list to store large value
for a xattr entry, we refactor the tree operation so that xattr
can use it directly.
The refactoring includes 4 steps:
1. Abstract set/get of last_eb_blk and update_clusters since they may
be stored in different location for dinode and xattr.
2. Add a new structure named ocfs2_extent_tree to indicate the
extent tree the operation will work on.
3. Remove all the use of fe_bh and di, use root_bh and root_el in
extent tree instead. So now all the fe_bh is replaced with
et->root_bh, el with root_el accordingly.
4. Make ocfs2_lock_allocators generic. Now it is limited to be only used
in file extend allocation. But the whole function is useful when we want
to store large EAs.
Note: This patch doesn't touch ocfs2_commit_truncate() since it is not used
for anything other than truncate inode data btrees.

A per-mount debugfs file, "local_alloc" is created which when read will
expose live state of the nodes local alloc file. Performance impact is
minimal, only a bit of memory overhead per mount point. Still, the code is
hidden behind CONFIG_OCFS2_FS_STATS. This feature will help us debug
local alloc performance problems on a live system.
Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
Ocfs2's local allocator disables itself for the duration of a mount point
when it has trouble allocating a large enough area from the primary bitmap.
That can cause performance problems, especially for disks which were only
temporarily full or fragmented. This patch allows for the allocator to
shrink it's window first, before being disabled. Later, it can also be
re-enabled so that any performance drop is minimized.
To do this, we allow the value of osb->local_alloc_bits to be shrunk when
needed. The default value is recorded in a mostly read-only variable so that
we can re-initialize when required.
Locking had to be updated so that we could protect changes to
local_alloc_bits. Mostly this involves protecting various local alloc values
with the osb spinlock. A new state is also added, OCFS2_LA_THROTTLED, which
is used when the local allocator is has shrunk, but is not disabled. If the
available space dips below 1 megabyte, the local alloc file is disabled. In
either case, local alloc is re-enabled 30 seconds after the event, or when
an appropriate amount of bits is seen in the primary bitmap.

Do this instead of tracking absolute local alloc size. This avoids

This is actually pretty easy since fs/dlm already handles the bulk of the
work. The Ocfs2 userspace cluster stack module already uses fs/dlm as the
underlying lock manager, so I only had to add the right calls.
Cluster-aware POSIX locks ("plocks") can be turned off by the same means at
UNIX locks - mount with 'noflocks', or create a local-only Ocfs2 volume.
Internally, the file system uses two sets of file_operations, depending on
whether cluster aware plocks is required. This turns out to be easier than
implementing local-only versions of ->lock.

If the journal doesn't abort when it gets an IO error in file data
blocks, the file data corruption will spread silently. Because
most of applications and commands do buffered writes without fsync(),
they don't notice the IO error. It's scary for mission critical
systems. On the other hand, if the journal aborts whenever it gets
an IO error in file data blocks, the system will easily become
inoperable. So this patch introduces a filesystem option to
determine whether it aborts the journal or just call printk() when
it gets an IO error in file data.
If you mount an ext4 fs with data_err=abort option, it aborts on file
data write error. If you mount it with data_err=ignore, it doesn't
abort, just call printk(). data_err=ignore is the default.
Here is the corresponding patch of the ext3 version:

Currently, original metadata buffers are dirtied when they are
unfiled whether the journal has aborted or not. Eventually these
buffers will be written-back to the filesystem by pdflush. This
means some metadata buffers are written to the filesystem without
journaling if the journal aborts. So if both journal abort and
system crash happen at the same time, the filesystem would become
inconsistent state. Additionally, replaying journaled metadata
can overwrite the latest metadata on the filesystem partly.
Because, if the journal gets aborted, journaled metadata are
preserved and replayed during the next mount not to lose
uncheckpointed metadata. This would also break the consistency
of the filesystem.
This patch prevents original metadata buffers from being dirtied
on abort by clearing BH_JBDDirty flag from those buffers. Thus,
no metadata buffers are written to the filesystem without journaling.

become inconsistent. To avoid this, we need to keep needs_recovery
flag if checkpoint has failed.
With this patch, ext4_put_super() detects a checkpointing failure
from the return value of journal_destroy(), then it invokes
ext4_abort() to make the filesystem read only and keep
needs_recovery flag. Errors from jbd2_journal_flush() are also
handled by this patch in some places.

When a checkpointing IO fails, current JBD2 code doesn't check the
error and continue journaling. This means latest metadata can be
lost from both the journal and filesystem.
This patch leaves the failed metadata blocks in the journal space
and aborts journaling in the case of jbd2_log_do_checkpoint().
To achieve this, we need to do:
1. don't remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list where in
the case of __try_to_free_cp_buf() because it may be released or
overwritten by a later transaction
2. jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() is the last chance, remove the failed
buffer from the checkpoint list and abort the journal
3. when checkpointing fails, don't update the journal super block to
prevent the journaled contents from being cleaned. For safety,
don't update j_tail and j_tail_sequence either
4. when checkpointing fails, notify this error to the ext4 layer so
that ext4 don't clear the needs_recovery flag, otherwise the
journaled contents are ignored and cleaned in the recovery phase
5. if the recovery fails, keep the needs_recovery flag
6. prevent jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() from being called between
__jbd2_journal_drop_transaction() and jbd2_journal_abort()
(a possible race issue between jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()s called by
jbd2_journal_flush() and __jbd2_log_wait_for_space())

If we failed to write metadata buffers to the journal space and
succeeded to write the commit record, stale data can be written
back to the filesystem as metadata in the recovery phase.
To avoid this, when we failed to write out metadata buffers,
abort the journal before writing the commit record.
We can also avoid this kind of corruption by using the journal
checksum feature because it can detect invalid metadata blocks in the
journal and avoid them from being replayed. So we don't need to care
about asynchronous commit record writeout with a checksum.

The ext4 filesystem is getting stable enough that it's time to drop
the "dev" prefix. Also remove the requirement for the TEST_FILESYS
flag.
