4ab2f15b7f ext4: move the abort flag from s_mount_opts to s_mount_flags
We're running out of space in the mount options word, and
EXT4_MOUNT_ABORT isn't really a mount option, but a run-time flag.  So
move it to become EXT4_MF_FS_ABORTED in s_mount_flags.

Also remove bogus ext2_fs.h / ext4.h simultaneous #include protection,
which can never happen.

f8514083cd ext4: truncate the file properly if we fail to copy data from userspace
In generic_perform_write if we fail to copy the user data we don't
update the inode->i_size.  We should truncate the file in the above
case so that we don't have blocks allocated outside inode->i_size.  Add
the inode to orphan list in the same transaction as block allocation
This ensures that if we crash in between the recovery would do the
truncate.

03f5d8bcf0 ext4: Get rid of EXTEND_DISKSIZE flag of ext4_get_blocks_handle()
Get rid of EXTEND_DISKSIZE flag of ext4_get_blocks_handle(). This
seems to be a relict from some old days and setting disksize in this
function does not make much sense.  Currently it was set only by
ext4_getblk().  Since the parameter has some effect only if create ==
1, it is easy to check by grepping through the sources that the three
callers which end up calling ext4_getblk() with create == 1
(ext4_append, ext4_quota_write, ext4_mkdir) do the right thing and set
disksize themselves.

6fd058f779 ext4: Add a comprehensive block validity check to ext4_get_blocks()
To catch filesystem bugs or corruption which could lead to the
filesystem getting severly damaged, this patch adds a facility for
tracking all of the filesystem metadata blocks by contiguous regions
in a red-black tree.  This allows quick searching of the tree to
locate extents which might overlap with filesystem metadata blocks.

This facility is also used by the multi-block allocator to assure that
it is not allocating blocks out of the system zone, as well as by the
routines used when reading indirect blocks and extents information
from disk to make sure their contents are valid.

8df9675f8b ext4: Avoid races caused by on-line resizing and SMP memory reordering
Ext4's on-line resizing adds a new block group and then, only at the
last step adjusts s_groups_count.  However, it's possible on SMP
systems that another CPU could see the updated the s_group_count and
not see the newly initialized data structures for the just-added block
group.  For this reason, it's important to insert a SMP read barrier
after reading s_groups_count and before reading any (for example) the
new block group descriptors allowed by the increased value of
s_groups_count.

Unfortunately, we rather blatently violate this locking protocol
documented in fs/ext4/resize.c.  Fortunately, (1) on-line resizes
happen relatively rarely, and (2) it seems rare that the filesystem
code will immediately try to use just-added block group before any
memory ordering issues resolve themselves.  So apparently problems
here are relatively hard to hit, since ext3 has been vulnerable to the
same issue for years with no one apparently complaining.

29fa89d088 ext4: Mark the unwritten buffer_head as mapped during write_begin
Setting BH_Unwritten buffer_heads as BH_Mapped avoids multiple
(unnecessary) calls to get_block() during the call to the write(2)
system call.  Setting BH_Unwritten buffer heads as BH_Mapped requires
that the writepages() functions can handle BH_Unwritten buffer_heads.

After this commit, things work as follows:

ext4_ext_get_block() returns unmapped, unwritten, buffer head when
called with create = 0 for prealloc space. This makes sure we handle
the read path and non-delayed allocation case correctly.  Even though
the buffer head is marked unmapped we have valid b_blocknr and b_bdev
values in the buffer_head.

ext4_da_get_block_prep() called for block resrevation will now return
mapped, unwritten, new buffer_head for prealloc space. This avoids
multiple calls to get_block() for write to same offset. By making such
buffers as BH_New, we also assure that sub-block zeroing of buffered
writes happens correctly.

79ffab3439 ext4: Properly initialize the buffer_head state
These struct buffer_heads are allocated on the stack (and hence are
initialized with stack garbage).  They are only used to call a
get_blocks() function, so that's mostly OK, but b_state must be
initialized to be 0 so we don't have any unexpected BH_* flags set by
accident, such as BH_Unwritten or BH_Delay.

2a8964d63d ext4: Clear the unwritten buffer_head flag after the extent is initialized
The BH_Unwritten flag indicates that the buffer is allocated on disk
but has not been written; that is, the disk was part of a persistent
preallocation area.  That flag should only be set when a get_blocks()
function is looking up a inode's logical to physical block mapping.

When ext4_get_blocks_wrap() is called with create=1, the uninitialized
extent is converted into an initialized one, so the BH_Unwritten flag
is no longer appropriate.  Hence, we need to make sure the
BH_Unwritten is not left set, since the combination of BH_Mapped and
BH_Unwritten is not allowed; among other things, it will result ext4's
get_block() to be called over and over again during the write_begin
phase of write(2).

We need to mark the buffer_head mapping preallocated space as new

Now that we mark the buffer_head new we also need to have a valid

c4b5a61431 ext4: Do not try to validate extents on special files
The EXTENTS_FL flag should never be set on special files, but if it
is, don't bother trying to validate that the extents tree is valid,
since only files, directories, and non-fast symlinks will ever have an
extent data structure.  We perhaps should flag the filesystem as being
corrupted if we see a special file (named pipes, device nodes, Unix
domain sockets, etc.) with the EXTENTS_FL flag, but e2fsck doesn't
currently check this case, so we'll just ignore this for now, since
it's harmless.

Without this fix, a special device with the extents flag is flagged as
an error by the kernel, so it is impossible to access or delete the
inode, but e2fsck doesn't see it as a problem, leading to
confused/frustrated users.

c2ec175c39 mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault
Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
VM_FAULT_xxx flags.  There should be no functional change.

This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to

driver, which might be important in some special cases).

This is required for a subsequent fix.  And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

the stack savings will be even greater.

It turns out that using a fake struct buffer_head doesn't even save
that much code, and it makes the code more confusing since it's not
used as a "real" buffer head.  So just store pass b_size and b_state
in mpage_add_bh_to_extent(), and store b_size, b_state, and b_block_nr

a4912123b6 ext4: New inode/block allocation algorithms for flex_bg filesystems
The find_group_flex() inode allocator is now only used if the
filesystem is mounted using the "oldalloc" mount option.  It is
replaced with the original Orlov allocator that has been updated for
flex_bg filesystems (it should behave the same way if flex_bg is
disabled).  The inode allocator now functions by taking into account
each flex_bg group, instead of each block group, when deciding whether
or not it's time to allocate a new directory into a fresh flex_bg.

The block allocator has also been changed so that the first block
group in each flex_bg is preferred for use for storing directory
blocks.  This keeps directory blocks close together, which is good for
speeding up e2fsck since large directories are more likely to look
like this:

ebd3610b11 ext4: Fix deadlock in ext4_write_begin() and ext4_da_write_begin()
Functions ext4_write_begin() and ext4_da_write_begin() call
grab_cache_page_write_begin() without AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Thus it
can happen that page reclaim is triggered in that function
and it recurses back into the filesystem (or some other filesystem).
But this can lead to various problems as a transaction is already
started at that point. Add the necessary flag.

2acf2c261b ext4: Implement range_cyclic in ext4_da_writepages instead of write_cache_pages
With delayed allocation we lock the page in write_cache_pages() and
try to build an in memory extent of contiguous blocks.  This is needed
so that we can get large contiguous blocks request.  If range_cyclic
mode is enabled, write_cache_pages() will loop back to the 0 index if
no I/O has been done yet, and try to start writing from the beginning
of the range.  That causes an attempt to take the page lock of lower
index page while holding the page lock of higher index page, which can
cause a dead lock with another writeback thread.

The solution is to implement the range_cyclic behavior in
ext4_da_writepages() instead.

7f5aa21508 jbd2: Avoid possible NULL dereference in jbd2_journal_begin_ordered_truncate()
If we race with commit code setting i_transaction to NULL, we could
possibly dereference it.  Proper locking requires the journal pointer
(to access journal->j_list_lock), which we don't have.  So we have to
change the prototype of the function so that filesystem passes us the
journal pointer.  Also add a more detailed comment about why the
function jbd2_journal_begin_ordered_truncate() does what it does and
how it should be used.

Thanks to Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com> for pointing to the
suspitious code.

b9ec63f78b ext4: Remove bogus BUG() check in ext4_bmap()
The code to support journal-less ext4 operation added a BUG to
ext4_bmap() which fired if there was no journal and the
EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit was set in the i_state field.  This caused
running the filefrag program (which uses the FIMBAP ioctl) to trigger
a BUG().

The EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit is only used for ext4_bmap(), and it's
harmless for the bit to be set.  We could add a check in
__ext4_journalled_writepage() and ext4_journalled_write_end() to only
set the EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit if the journal is present, but that adds
an extra test and jump instruction.  It's easier to simply remove the
BUG check.
