Add a new mount option which enables a new "lazytime" mode. This mode
causes atime, mtime, and ctime updates to only be made to the
in-memory version of the inode. The on-disk times will only get
updated when (a) if the inode needs to be updated for some non-time
related change, (b) if userspace calls fsync(), syncfs() or sync(), or
(c) just before an undeleted inode is evicted from memory.
This is OK according to POSIX because there are no guarantees after a
crash unless userspace explicitly requests via a fsync(2) call.
For workloads which feature a large number of random write to a
preallocated file, the lazytime mount option significantly reduces
writes to the inode table. The repeated 4k writes to a single block
will result in undesirable stress on flash devices and SMR disk
drives. Even on conventional HDD's, the repeated writes to the inode
table block will trigger Adjacent Track Interference (ATI) remediation
latencies, which very negatively impact long tail latencies --- which
is a very big deal for web serving tiers (for example).

for adding the inode to the list of inodes with freeable extents. This

In this commit we discard the lru algorithm for inodes with extent
status tree because it takes significant effort to maintain a lru list
in extent status tree shrinker and the shrinker can take a long time to
scan this lru list in order to reclaim some objects.
We replace the lru ordering with a simple round-robin. After that we
never need to keep a lru list. That means that the list needn't be
sorted if the shrinker can not reclaim any objects in the first round.

Currently extent status tree doesn't cache extent hole when a write
looks up in extent tree to make sure whether a block has been allocated
or not. In this case, we don't put extent hole in extent cache because
later this extent might be removed and a new delayed extent might be
added back. But it will cause a defect when we do a lot of writes. If
we don't put extent hole in extent cache, the following writes also need
to access extent tree to look at whether or not a block has been
allocated. It brings a cache miss. This commit fixes this defect.
Also if the inode doesn't have any extent, this extent hole will be
cached as well.

For bigalloc filesystems we have to check whether newly requested inode
block isn't already part of a cluster for which we already have delayed
allocation reservation. This check happens in ext4_ext_map_blocks() and
that function sets EXT4_MAP_FROM_CLUSTER if that's the case. However if
ext4_da_map_blocks() finds in extent cache information about the block,
we don't call into ext4_ext_map_blocks() and thus we always end up
getting new reservation even if the space for cluster is already
reserved. This results in overreservation and premature ENOSPC reports.
Fix the problem by checking for existing cluster reservation already in
ext4_da_map_blocks(). That simplifies the logic and actually allows us
to get rid of the EXT4_MAP_FROM_CLUSTER flag completely.

When clearing inode journal flag, we call jbd2_journal_flush() to force

when this fails and continue clearing inode journal flag. This isn't a
big problem because when jbd2_journal_flush() fails, journal is likely
aborted anyway. But it can still lead to somewhat confusing results so

Delalloc write journal reservations only reserve 1 credit,
to update the inode if necessary. However, it may happen
once in a filesystem's lifetime that a file will cross
the 2G threshold, and require the LARGE_FILE feature to
be set in the superblock as well, if it was not set already.
This overruns the transaction reservation, and can be
demonstrated simply on any ext4 filesystem without the LARGE_FILE
feature already set:
dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1 seek=2147483646 count=1 \
conv=notrunc of=testfile
sync
dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1 seek=2147483647 count=1 \
conv=notrunc of=testfile
leads to:
EXT4-fs: ext4_do_update_inode:4296: aborting transaction: error 28 in __ext4_handle_dirty_super
EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in ext4_do_update_inode:4301: error 28

If there is a corrupted file system which has directory entries that
point at reserved, metadata inodes, prohibit them from being used by
treating them the same way we treat Boot Loader inodes --- that is,
mark them to be bad inodes. This prohibits them from being opened,
deleted, or modified via chmod, chown, utimes, etc.
In particular, this prevents a corrupted file system which has a
directory entry which points at the journal inode from being deleted
and its blocks released, after which point Much Hilarity Ensues.

The boot loader inode (inode #5) should never be visible in the
directory hierarchy, but it's possible if the file system is corrupted
that there will be a directory entry that points at inode #5. In
order to avoid accidentally trashing it, when such a directory inode
is opened, the inode will be marked as a bad inode, so that it's not
possible to modify (or read) the inode from userspace.
Unfortunately, when we unlink this (invalid/illegal) directory entry,
we will put the bad inode on the ophan list, and then when try to
unlink the directory, we don't actually remove the bad inode from the
orphan list before freeing in-memory inode structure. This means the
in-memory orphan list is corrupted, leading to a kernel oops.
In addition, avoid truncating a bad inode in ext4_destroy_inode(),
since truncating the boot loader inode is not a smart thing to do.

Currently punch hole code on files with direct/indirect mapping has some
problems which may lead to a data loss. For example (from Jan Kara):
fallocate -n -p 10240000 4096
will punch the range 10240000 - 12632064 instead of the range 1024000 -
10244096.
Also the code is a bit weird and it's not using infrastructure provided
by indirect.c, but rather creating it's own way.
This patch fixes the issues as well as making the operation to run 4
times faster from my testing (punching out 60GB file). It uses similar
approach used in ext4_ind_truncate() which takes advantage of
ext4_free_branches() function.
Also rename the ext4_free_hole_blocks() to something more sensible, like
the equivalent we have for extent mapped files. Call it
ext4_ind_remove_space().
This has been tested mostly with fsx and some xfstests which are testing
punch hole but does not require unwritten extents which are not
supported with direct/indirect mapping. Not problems showed up even with
1024k block size.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Use cmpxchg() to atomically set i_flags instead of clearing out the

EXT4_IMMUTABLE_FL, EXT4_APPEND_FL flags, since this opens up a race
where an immutable file has the immutable flag cleared for a brief

Set a in-memory superblock flag to indicate whether the file system is
designed to support the Hurd.
Also, add a sanity check to make sure the 64-bit feature is not set

Hurd-specific field.

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
e2fsck -f /dev/vdc

Introduce new FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE flag for fallocate. This has the same
functionality as xfs ioctl XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE.
It can be used to convert a range of file to zeros preferably without
issuing data IO. Blocks should be preallocated for the regions that span
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.
Also add appropriate tracepoints.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Remove the update in the common code, and it to btrfs and ext4,

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.

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.

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.

ext4_setattr() mpage_map_and_submit_extent()
EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize = attr->ia_size;
... ...
disksize = ((loff_t)mpd->first_page) << PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT
/* False because i_size isn't
* updated yet */
if (disksize > i_size_read(inode))
/* True, because i_disksize is
* already truncated */
if (disksize > EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize)
/* Overwrite i_disksize
* update from truncate */
ext4_update_i_disksize()
i_size_write(inode, attr->ia_size);
For other places updating i_disksize such race cannot happen because
i_mutex prevents these races. Writeback is the only place where we do
not hold i_mutex and we cannot grab it there because of lock ordering.
We fix the race by doing both i_disksize and i_size update in truncate
atomically under i_data_sem and in mpage_map_and_submit_extent() we move
the check against i_size under i_data_sem as well.

Inode size can arbitrarily change while writeback is in progress. When
ext4_writepages() has prepared a long extent for mapping and truncate
then reduces i_size, mpage_map_and_submit_buffers() will always map just
one buffer in a page instead of all of them due to lblk < blocks check.
So we end up not using all blocks we've allocated (thus leaking them)
and also delalloc accounting goes wrong manifesting as a warning like:
ext4_da_release_space:1333: ext4_da_release_space: ino 12, to_free 1
with only 0 reserved data blocks
Note that the problem can happen only when blocksize < pagesize because
otherwise we have only a single buffer in the page.
Fix the problem by removing the size check from the mapping loop. We
have an extent allocated so we have to use it all before checking for
i_size. We also rename add_page_bufs_to_extent() to
mpage_process_page_bufs() and make that function submit the page for IO
if all buffers (upto EOF) in it are mapped.

Now we maintain an proper in-order LRU list in ext4 to reclaim entries
from extent status tree when we are under heavy memory pressure. For
keeping this order, a spin lock is used to protect this list. But this
lock burns a lot of CPU time. We can use the following steps to trigger
it.
% cd /dev/shm
% dd if=/dev/zero of=ext4-img bs=1M count=2k
% mkfs.ext4 ext4-img
% mount -t ext4 -o loop ext4-img /mnt
% cd /mnt
% for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do truncate -s 64g $i; done
% for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do cp $i /dev/null &; done
% perf record -a -g
% perf report
This commit tries to fix this problem. Now a new member called
i_touch_when is added into ext4_inode_info to record the last access
time for an inode. Meanwhile we never need to keep a proper in-order
LRU list. So this can avoid to burns some CPU time. When we try to
reclaim some entries from extent status tree, we use list_sort() to get
a proper in-order list. Then we traverse this list to discard some
entries. In ext4_sb_info, we use s_es_last_sorted to record the last
time of sorting this list. When we traverse the list, we skip the inode
that is newer than this time, and move this inode to the tail of LRU
list. When the head of the list is newer than s_es_last_sorted, we will
sort the LRU list again.
In this commit, we break the loop if s_extent_cache_cnt == 0 because
that means that all extents in extent status tree have been reclaimed.
Meanwhile in this commit, ext4_es_{un}register_shrinker()'s prototype is
changed to save a local variable in these functions.

There are two issues with current writeback path in ext4. For one we
don't necessarily map complete pages when blocksize < pagesize and
thus needn't do any writeback in one iteration. We always map some
blocks though so we will eventually finish mapping the page. Just if
writeback races with other operations on the file, forward progress is
not really guaranteed. The second problem is that current code
structure makes it hard to associate all the bios to some range of
pages with one io_end structure so that unwritten extents can be
converted after all the bios are finished. This will be especially
difficult later when io_end will be associated with reserved
transaction handle.
We restructure the writeback path to a relatively simple loop which
first prepares extent of pages, then maps one or more extents so that
no page is partially mapped, and once page is fully mapped it is
submitted for IO. We keep all the mapping and IO submission
information in mpage_da_data structure to somewhat reduce stack usage.
Resulting code is somewhat shorter than the old one and hopefully also
easier to read.

Currently in ENOSPC condition when writing into unwritten space, or
punching a hole, we might need to split the extent and grow extent tree.
However since we can not allocate any new metadata blocks we'll have to
zero out unwritten part of extent or punched out part of extent, or in
the worst case return ENOSPC even though use actually does not allocate
any space.
Also in delalloc path we do reserve metadata and data blocks for the
time we're going to write out, however metadata block reservation is
very tricky especially since we expect that logical connectivity implies
physical connectivity, however that might not be the case and hence we
might end up allocating more metadata blocks than previously reserved.
So in future, metadata reservation checks should be removed since we can
not assure that we do not under reserve.
And this is where reserved space comes into the picture. When mounting
the file system we slice off a little bit of the file system space (2%
or 4096 clusters, whichever is smaller) which can be then used for the
cases mentioned above to prevent costly zeroout, or unexpected ENOSPC.
The number of reserved clusters can be set via sysfs, however it can
never be bigger than number of free clusters in the file system.

Add a new ioctl, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT which swaps i_blocks and
associated attributes (like i_blocks, i_size, i_flags, ...) from the
specified inode with inode EXT4_BOOT_LOADER_INO (#5). This is
typically used to store a boot loader in a secure part of the
filesystem, where it can't be changed by a normal user by accident.
The data blocks of the previous boot loader will be associated with
the given inode.
This usercode program is a simple example of the usage:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int fd;
int err;
if ( argc != 2 ) {
printf("usage: ext4-swap-boot-inode FILE-TO-SWAP\n");
exit(1);
}
fd = open(argv[1], O_WRONLY);
if ( fd < 0 ) {
perror("open");
exit(1);
}
err = ioctl(fd, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT);
if ( err < 0 ) {
perror("ioctl");
exit(1);
}
close(fd);
exit(0);
}

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.

Move common code in ext4_ind_punch_hole() and ext4_ext_punch_hole()
into ext4_punch_hole(). This saves over 150 lines of code.
This also fixes a potential bug when the punch_hole() code is racing
against indirect-to-extents or extents-to-indirect migation. We are
currently using i_mutex to protect against changes to the inode flag;
specifically, the append-only, immutable, and extents inode flags. So
we need to take i_mutex before deciding whether to use the
extents-specific or indirect-specific punch_hole code.
Also, there was a missing call to ext4_inode_block_unlocked_dio() in
the indirect punch codepath. This was added in commit 02d262dffc
to block DIO readers racing against the punch operation in the
codepath for extent-mapped inodes, but it was missing for
indirect-block mapped inodes. One of the advantages of refactoring
the code is that it makes such oversights much less likely.

In data=journal mode, if we unmount the file system before a
transaction has a chance to complete, when the journal inode is being
evicted, we can end up calling into jbd2_log_wait_commit() for the
last transaction, after the journalling machinery has been shut down.
Arguably we should adjust ext4_should_journal_data() to return FALSE
for the journal inode, but the only place it matters is
ext4_evict_inode(), and so to save a bit of CPU time, and to make the
patch much more obviously correct by inspection(tm), we'll fix it by
explicitly not trying to waiting for a journal commit when we are
evicting the journal inode, since it's guaranteed to never succeed in
this case.
This can be easily replicated via:
mount -t ext4 -o data=journal /dev/vdb /vdb ; umount /vdb

Commit 84c17543ab (ext4: move work from io_end to inode) triggered a
regression when running xfstest #270 when the file system is mounted
with dioread_nolock.
The problem is that after ext4_evict_inode() calls ext4_ioend_wait(),
this guarantees that last io_end structure has been freed, but it does
not guarantee that the workqueue structure, which was moved into the
inode by commit 84c17543ab, is actually finished. Once
ext4_flush_completed_IO() calls ext4_free_io_end() on CPU #1, this
will allow ext4_ioend_wait() to return on CPU #2, at which point the
evict_inode() codepath can race against the workqueue code on CPU #1
accessing EXT4_I(inode)->i_unwritten_work to find the next item of
work to do.
Fix this by calling cancel_work_sync() in ext4_ioend_wait(), which
will be renamed ext4_ioend_shutdown(), since it is only used by
ext4_evict_inode(). Also, move the call to ext4_ioend_shutdown()
until after truncate_inode_pages() and filemap_write_and_wait() are
called, to make sure all dirty pages have been written back and
flushed from the page cache first.

Currently we only reserve space (data+metadata) in delayed allocation if
we're allocating from new cluster (which is always in non-bigalloc file
system) which is ok for data blocks, because we reserve the whole cluster.
However we have to reserve metadata for every delayed block we're going
to write because every block could potentially require metedata block
when we need to grow the extent tree.

ext4_releasepage() warns when it is passed a page with PageChecked set.
However this can correctly happen when invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
invalidates pages - and we should fail the release in that case. Since
the page was dirty anyway, it won't be discarded and no harm has
happened but it's good to be safe. Also remove bogus page_has_buffers()
check - we are guaranteed page has buffers in this function.

When we try to split an extent, this extent could be zeroed out and mark
as initialized. But we don't know this in ext4_map_blocks because it
only returns a length of allocated extent. Meanwhile we will mark this
extent as uninitialized because we only check m_flags.

Create a helper function to check if a backing device requires stable
page writes and, if so, performs the necessary wait. Then, make it so
that all points in the memory manager that handle making pages writable
use the helper function. This should provide stable page write support
to most filesystems, while eliminating unnecessary waiting for devices
that don't require the feature.
Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether
or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional
checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own
thing, so they'd wait too.
After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will
wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots
pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will
never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they
provide their own stable page guarantees or they don't block at all.
The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't
have a disk requiring stable page writes.
Here's the result of using dbench to test latency on ext2:

similarly, but see the cover letter for those results.

After tracking all extent status, we already have a extent cache in
memory. Every time we want to lookup a block mapping, we can first
try to lookup it in extent status tree to avoid a potential disk I/O.
A new function called ext4_es_lookup_extent is defined to finish this
work. When we try to lookup a block mapping, we always call
ext4_map_blocks and/or ext4_da_map_blocks. So in these functions we
first try to lookup a block mapping in extent status tree.
A new flag EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_NO_PUT_HOLE is used in ext4_da_map_blocks
in order not to put a hole into extent status tree because this hole
will be converted to delayed extent in the tree immediately.

By recording the phycisal block and status, extent status tree is able
to track the status of every extents. When we call _map_blocks
functions to lookup an extent or create a new written/unwritten/delayed
extent, this extent will be inserted into extent status tree.
We don't load all extents from disk in alloc_inode() because it costs
too much memory, and if a file is opened and closed frequently it will
takes too much time to load all extent information. So currently when
we create/lookup an extent, this extent will be inserted into extent
status tree. Hence, the extent status tree may not comprehensively
contain all of the extents found in the file.
Here a condition we need to take care is that an extent might contains
unwritten and delayed status simultaneously because an extent is delayed
allocated and could be allocated by fallocate. At this time we need to
keep delayed status because later we need to update delayed reservation
space using it.

This commit lets ext4_ext_map_blocks return EXT4_MAP_UNWRITTEN flag
because in later commit ext4_map_blocks needs to use this flag to
determine the extent status.

This commit adds two members in extent_status structure to let it record
physical block and extent status. Here es_pblk is used to record both
of them because physical block only has 48 bits. So extent status could
be stashed into it so that we can save some memory. Now written,
unwritten, delayed and hole are defined as status.
Due to new member is added into extent status tree, all interfaces need
to be adjusted.

Use ERR_PTR()/IS_ERR() abstraction instead of passing in a separate
pointer to an integer for the error code, as a code cleanup.

Print some additional debugging context to hopefully help to debug a
warning which is getting triggered by xfstests #74.
Also remove extraneous newlines from when printk's were converted to
ext4_warning() and ext4_msg().

Some messages printed related to a WARN_ON(1) were printed using
KERN_NOTICE. Use KERN_WARNING or ext4_warning() instead so that
context related to the WARN_ON() is printed at the same printk warning
level (and log files, etc.)

The grab_cache_page_write_begin() function can potentially sleep for a
long time, since it may need to do memory allocation which can block
if the system is under significant memory pressure, and because it may
be blocked on page writeback. If it does take a long time to grab the
page, it's better that we not hold an active jbd2 handle.
So grab a handle on the page first, and _then_ start the transaction
handle.
This commit fixes the following long transaction handle hold time:
postmark-2917 [000] .... 196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32
tid 570 type 2 line_no 2541 interval 311 sync 0 requested_blocks 1

So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for
long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass
context information for logging purposes.
The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is:
T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats
echo "interval > 5" > $EVENT/filter
echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
./run-my-fs-benchmark
cat $T/trace > /tmp/problem-handles
This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms. Having
longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong
time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an
fsync() or an O_SYNC operation. Here is an example line from the
trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over
1.2 seconds:
postmark-2917 [000] .... 196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32
tid 570 type 2 line_no 2541 interval 311 sync 0 requested_blocks 1
