Make sure the rec_len field in the '..' entry is sane, lest we overrun
the directory block and cause a kernel oops on a purposefully
corrupted filesystem.

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.
The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).
This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

Convert the unsigned longs that are most responsible for bloating the
stack usage on 64-bit systems.
Nearly all places in the ext3/4 code which uses "unsigned long" is
probably a bug, since on 32-bit systems a ulong a 32-bits, which means
we are wasting stack space on 64-bit systems.

A few weeks ago I posted a patch for discussion that allowed ext4 to run
without a journal. Since that time I've integrated the excellent
comments from Andreas and fixed several serious bugs. We're currently
running with this patch and generating some performance numbers against
both ext2 (with backported reservations code) and ext4 with and without
a journal. It just so happens that running without a journal is
slightly faster for most everything.
We did
iozone -T -t 4 s 2g -r 256k -T -I -i0 -i1 -i2
which creates 4 threads, each of which create and do reads and writes on
a 2G file, with a buffer size of 256K, using O_DIRECT for all file opens
to bypass the page cache. Results:
ext2 ext4, default ext4, no journal
initial writes 13.0 MB/s 15.4 MB/s 15.7 MB/s
rewrites 13.1 MB/s 15.6 MB/s 15.9 MB/s
reads 15.2 MB/s 16.9 MB/s 17.2 MB/s
re-reads 15.3 MB/s 16.9 MB/s 17.2 MB/s
random readers 5.6 MB/s 5.6 MB/s 5.7 MB/s
random writers 5.1 MB/s 5.3 MB/s 5.4 MB/s
So it seems that, so far, this was a useful exercise.

The original ext3 hash algorithms assumed that variables of type char
were signed, as God and K&R intended. Unfortunately, this assumption
is not true on some architectures. Userspace support for marking
filesystems with non-native signed/unsigned chars was added two years
ago, but the kernel-side support was never added (until now).

ext4_dx_find_entry uses ext4_next_entry without verifying that the entry is
valid. If its rec_len == 0 this causes an infinite loop. Refactor the loop
to check the validity of entries before checking whether they match and
moving onto the next one.
There are other uses of ext4_next_entry in this file which also look
problematic. They should be reviewed and fixed if/when we have a test-case
that triggers them.

Stop the EXT4 filesystem from using iget() and read_inode(). Replace
ext4_read_inode() with ext4_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
ext4_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.

The do_split() function for htree dir blocks is intended to split a leaf
block to make room for a new entry. It sorts the entries in the original
block by hash value, then moves the last half of the entries to the new
block - without accounting for how much space this actually moves. (IOW,
it moves half of the entry *count* not half of the entry *space*). If by
chance we have both large & small entries, and we move only the smallest
entries, and we have a large new entry to insert, we may not have created
enough space for it.
The patch below stores each record size when calculating the dx_map, and
then walks the hash-sorted dx_map, calculating how many entries must be
moved to more evenly split the existing entries between the old block and
the new block, guaranteeing enough space for the new entry.
The dx_map "offs" member is reduced to u16 so that the overall map size
does not change - it is temporarily stored at the end of the new block, and
if it grows too large it may be overwritten. By making offs and size both
u16, we won't grow the map size.
Also add a few comments to the functions involved.
This fixes the testcase reported by hooanon05@yahoo.co.jp on the

This patch adds support to ext4 for allowing more than 65000
subdirectories. Currently the maximum number of subdirectories is capped
at 32000.
If we exceed 65000 subdirectories in an htree directory it sets the
inode link count to 1 and no longer counts subdirectories. The
directory link count is not actually used when determining if a
directory is empty, as that only counts subdirectories and not regular
files that might be in there.
A EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK flag has been added and it is set if
the subdir count for any directory crosses 65000. A later fsck will clear
EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK if there are no longer any directory
with >65000 subdirs.

This patch adds nanosecond timestamps for ext4. This involves adding
*time_extra fields to the ext4_inode to extend the timestamps to
64-bits. Creation time is also added by this patch.
These extended fields will fit into an inode if the filesystem was
formatted with large inodes (-I 256 or larger) and there are currently
no EAs consuming all of the available space. For new inodes we always
reserve enough space for the kernel's known extended fields, but for
inodes created with an old kernel this might not have been the case. So
this patch also adds the EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE feature
flag(ro-compat so that older kernels can't create inodes with a smaller
extra_isize). which indicates if the fields fitting inside
s_min_extra_isize are available or not. If the expansion of inodes if
unsuccessful then this feature will be disabled. This feature is only
enabled if requested by the sysadmin.
None of the extended inode fields is critical for correct filesystem
operation.

After ext3 orphan list check has been added into ext3_destroy_inode()
(please see my previous patch) the following situation has been detected:

Inode 00000101a15b7840: orphan list check failed!

[<ffffffff80110aba>] system_call+0x7e/0x83
First messages said that unlinked inode has i_nlink=0, then ext3_unlink()
adds this inode into orphan list.
Second message means that this inode has not been removed from orphan list.
Inode dump has showed that i_fop = &bad_file_ops and it can be set in
make_bad_inode() only. Then I've found that ext3_read_inode() can call
make_bad_inode() without any error/warning messages, for example in the
following case:
...
if (inode->i_nlink == 0) {
if (inode->i_mode == 0 ||
!(EXT3_SB(inode->i_sb)->s_mount_state & EXT3_ORPHAN_FS)) {
/* this inode is deleted */
brelse (bh);
goto bad_inode;
...
Bad inode can live some time, ext3_unlink can add it to orphan list, but
ext3_delete_inode() do not deleted this inode from orphan list. As result
we can have orphan list corruption detected in ext3_destroy_inode().
However it is not clear for me how to fix this issue correctly.
As far as i see is_bad_inode() is called after iget() in all places
excluding ext3_lookup() and ext3_get_parent(). I believe it makes sense to
add bad inode check to these functions too and call iput if bad inode
detected.

return retval;
<<< WOW retval wasn't changed by do_split(), so caller failed

I've been using Steve Grubb's purely evil "fsfuzzer" tool, at
http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/fsfuzzer-0.4.tar.gz
Basically it makes a filesystem, splats some random bits over it, then
tries to mount it and do some simple filesystem actions.
At best, the filesystem catches the corruption gracefully. At worst,
things spin out of control.
As you might guess, we found a couple places in ext4 where things spin out
of control :)
First, we had a corrupted directory that was never checked for
consistency... it was corrupt, and pointed to another bad "entry" of
length 0. The for() loop looped forever, since the length of
ext4_next_entry(de) was 0, and we kept looking at the same pointer over and
over and over and over... I modeled this check and subsequent action on
what is done for other directory types in ext4_readdir...
(adding this check adds some computational expense; I am testing a followup
patch to reduce the number of times we check and re-check these directory
entries, in all cases. Thanks for the idea, Andreas).
Next we had a root directory inode which had a corrupted size, claimed to
be > 200M on a 4M filesystem. There was only really 1 block in the
directory, but because the size was so large, readdir kept coming back for
more, spewing thousands of printk's along the way.
Per Andreas' suggestion, if we're in this read error condition and we're
trying to read an offset which is greater than i_blocks worth of bytes,
stop trying, and break out of the loop.
With these two changes fsfuzz test survives quite well on ext4.
