ext4_move_extents is too complex for review. It has duplicate almost
each function available in the rest of other codebase. It has useless
artificial restriction orig_offset == donor_offset. But in fact logic
of ext4_move_extents is very simple:
Iterate extents one by one (similar to ext4_fill_fiemap_extents)
->Iterate each page covered extent (similar to generic_perform_write)
->swap extents for covered by page (can be shared with IOC_MOVE_DATA)

When performing a same-directory rename, it's possible that adding or
setting the new directory entry will cause the directory to overflow
the inline data area, which causes the directory to be converted to an
extent-based directory. Under this circumstance it is necessary to
re-read the directory when deleting the old dirent because the "old
directory" context still points to i_block in the inode table, which
is now an extent tree root! The delete fails with an FS error, and
the subsequent fsck complains about incorrect link counts and
hardlinked directories.
Test case (originally found with flat_dir_test in the metadata_csum
test program):

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.

If we suffer a block allocation failure (for example due to a memory
allocation failure), it's possible that we will call
ext4_discard_allocated_blocks() before we've actually allocated any
blocks. In that case, fe_len and fe_start in ac->ac_f_ex will still
be zero, and this will result in mb_free_blocks(inode, e4b, 0, 0)
triggering the BUG_ON on mb_free_blocks():
BUG_ON(last >= (sb->s_blocksize << 3));
Fix this by bailing out of ext4_discard_allocated_blocks() if fs_len
is zero.
Also fix a missing ext4_mb_unload_buddy() call in
ext4_discard_allocated_blocks().

If we run into some kind of error, such as ENOMEM, while calling
ext4_getblk() or ext4_dx_find_entry(), we need to make sure this error
gets propagated up to ext4_find_entry() and then to its callers. This
way, transient errors such as ENOMEM can get propagated to the VFS.
This is important so that the system calls return the appropriate
error, and also so that in the case of ext4_lookup(), we return an
error instead of a NULL inode, since that will result in a negative
dentry cache entry that will stick around long past the OOM condition
which caused a transient ENOMEM error.

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 also allows us to only call ext4_count_free_clusters() once, and

Commit 007649375f ("ext4: initialize multi-block allocator before

of the number of free blocks to become inconsistent with the number of
free blocks in the allocation bitmap. This is a harmless form of fs
corruption, but it causes the kernel to potentially remount the file
system read-only, or to panic, depending on the file systems's error
behavior.

Error recovery in ext4_alloc_branch() calls ext4_forget() even for
buffer corresponding to indirect block it did not allocate. This leads
to brelse() being called twice for that buffer (once from ext4_forget()
and once from cleanup in ext4_ind_map_blocks()) leading to buffer use
count misaccounting. Eventually (but often much later because there
are other users of the buffer) we will see messages like:
VFS: brelse: Trying to free free buffer
Another manifestation of this problem is an error:
JBD2 unexpected failure: jbd2_journal_revoke: !buffer_revoked(bh);
inconsistent data on disk
The fix is easy - don't forget buffer we did not allocate. Also add an
explanatory comment because the indexing at ext4_alloc_branch() is

noticable with fast storage. The objective of the patch is to initialse
the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is
visible.
The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use
grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial
allocation of a page cache page. This patch adds an init_page_accessed()
helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may
called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically.
The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used
by most filesystems.
find_get_page
find_lock_page
find_or_create_page
grab_cache_page_nowait
grab_cache_page_write_begin
All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper
pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its
behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not. Then
old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core
function.
Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling
mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already
done the job. There is a slight snag in that the timing of the
mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page
gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might
have been repromoted. This is expected to be rare but it's worth the
filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the
timing change. It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking
pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems
have consistent behaviour in this regard.
The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done
multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations. The size of the
file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing. In the
async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even
hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact
of mark_page_accessed for async IO. The sync results are expected to be
more stable. The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO"
to not hit the disk.
The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA
artifacts. Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall
times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the
variability is unsuitable for comparison. As async results were variable
do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures. The sync
results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.
The performance results are reported based on a run with no profiling.
Profile data is based on a separate run with oprofile running.

The last in-tree caller of block_write_full_page_endio() was removed in
January 2013. It's time to remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL, which leaves
block_write_full_page() as the only caller of
block_write_full_page_endio(), so inline block_write_full_page_endio()
into block_write_full_page().

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.

The variable "size" is expressed as number of blocks and not as
number of clusters, this could trigger a kernel panic when using
ext4 with the size of a cluster different from the size of a block.
