2012-05-15ext4: Remove i_mutex use from ext4_quota_write()Jan Kara
We don't need i_mutex in ext4_quota_write() because writes to quota file are serialized by dqio_mutex anyway. Changes to quota files outside of quota code are forbidded and enforced by NOATIME and IMMUTABLE bits. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2012-05-10vfs: make it possible to access the dentry hash/len as one 64-bit entryLinus Torvalds
This allows comparing hash and len in one operation on 64-bit architectures. Right now only __d_lookup_rcu() takes advantage of this, since that is the case we care most about. The use of anonymous struct/unions hides the alternate 64-bit approach from most users, the exception being a few cases where we initialize a 'struct qstr' with a static initializer. This makes the problematic cases use a new QSTR_INIT() helper function for that (but initializing just the name pointer with a "{ .name = xyzzy }" initializer remains valid, as does just copying another qstr structure).

2012-05-06vfs: Rename end_writeback() to clear_inode()Jan Kara
After we moved inode_sync_wait() from end_writeback() it doesn't make sense to call the function end_writeback() anymore.

2012-04-29ext4: make block group checksums use metadata_csum algorithmDarrick J. Wong
metadata_csum supersedes uninit_bg. Convert the ROCOMPAT uninit_bg flag check to a helper function that covers both, and make the checksum calculation algorithm use either crc16 or the metadata_csum chosen algorithm depending on which flag is set. Print a warning if we try to mount a filesystem with both feature flags set. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

Calculate and verify the checksums of extended attribute blocks.

2012-04-29ext4: calculate and verify checksums of directory leaf blocksDarrick J. Wong
Calculate and verify the checksums for directory leaf blocks (i.e. blocks that only contain actual directory entries). The checksum lives in what looks to be an unused directory entry with a 0 name_len at the end of the block. This scheme is not used for internal htree nodes because the mechanism in place there only costs one dx_entry, whereas the "empty" directory entry would cost two dx_entries. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

2012-03-29Revert "ext4: don't release page refs in ext4_end_bio()"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit b43d17f319f2c502b17139d1cf70731b2b62c644. Dave Jones reports that it causes lockups on his laptop, and his debug output showed a lot of processes hung waiting for page_writeback (or more commonly - processes hung waiting for a lock that was held during that writeback wait). The page_writeback hint made Ted suggest that Dave look at this commit, and Dave verified that reverting it makes his problems go away. Ted says: "That commit fixes a race which is seen when you write into fallocated (and hence uninitialized) disk blocks under *very* heavy memory pressure. Furthermore, although theoretically it could trigger under normal direct I/O writes, it only seems to trigger if you are issuing a huge number of AIO writes, such that a just-written page can get evicted from memory, and then read back into memory, before the workqueue has a chance to update the extent tree. This race has been around for a little over a year, and no one noticed until two months ago; it only happens under fairly exotic conditions, and in fact even after trying very hard to create a simple repro under lab conditions, we could only reproduce the problem and confirm the fix on production servers running MySQL on very fast PCIe-attached flash devices. Given that Dave was able to hit this problem pretty quickly, if we confirm that this commit is at fault, the only reasonable thing to do is to revert it IMO."

Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields: Highlights: - Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features, moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation. - Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on ext2/3/4. - Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility for further improvements. - Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x. Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup. Thanks to everyone! There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I suppose will have to wait for 3.5. With that done I think we'll finally turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while).

2012-03-21ext4: fix start and len arguments handling in ext4_trim_fs()Lukas Czerner
The overflow can happen when we are calling get_group_no_and_offset() which stores the group number in the ext4_grpblk_t type which is actually int. However when the blocknr is big enough the group number might be bigger than ext4_grpblk_t resulting in overflow. This will most likely happen with FITRIM default argument len = ULLONG_MAX. Fix this by using "end" variable instead of "start+len" as it is easier to get right and specifically check that the end is not beyond the end of the file system, so we are sure that the result of get_group_no_and_offset() will not overflow.

2012-03-19ext4: rewrite punch hole to use ext4_ext_remove_space()Lukas Czerner
This commit rewrites ext4 punch hole implementation to use ext4_ext_remove_space() instead of its home gown way of doing this via ext4_ext_map_blocks(). There are several reasons for changing this. Firstly it is quite non obvious that punching hole needs to ext4_ext_map_blocks() to punch a hole, especially given that this function should map blocks, not unmap it. It also required a lot of new code in ext4_ext_map_blocks(). Secondly the design of it is not very effective. The reason is that we are trying to punch out blocks in ext4_ext_punch_hole() in opposite direction than in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() which causes the ext4_ext_rm_leaf() to iterate through the whole tree from the end to the start to find the requested extent for every extent we are going to punch out. And finally the current implementation does not use the existing code, but bring a lot of new code, which is IMO unnecessary since there already is some infrastructure we can use. Specifically ext4_ext_remove_space(). This commit changes ext4_ext_remove_space() to accept 'end' parameter so we can not only truncate to the end of file, but also remove the space in the middle of the file (punch a hole). Moreover, because the last block to punch out, might be in the middle of the extent, we have to split the extent at 'end + 1' so ext4_ext_rm_leaf() can easily either remove the whole fist part of split extent, or change its size. ext4_ext_remove_space() is then used to actually remove the space (extents) from within the hole, instead of ext4_ext_map_blocks(). Note that this also fix the issue with punch hole, where we would forget to remove empty index blocks from the extent tree, resulting in double free block error and file system corruption. This is simply because we now use different code path, where this problem does not exist. This has been tested with fsx running for several days and xfstests, plus xfstest #251 with '-o discard' run on the loop image (which converts discard requestes into punch hole to the backing file). All of it on 1K and 4K file system block size. Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2012-03-18ext4: return 32/64-bit dir name hash according to usage typeFan Yong
Traditionally ext2/3/4 has returned a 32-bit hash value from llseek() to appease NFSv2, which can only handle a 32-bit cookie for seekdir() and telldir(). However, this causes problems if there are 32-bit hash collisions, since the NFSv2 server can get stuck resending the same entries from the directory repeatedly. Allow ext4 to return a full 64-bit hash (both major and minor) for telldir to decrease the chance of hash collisions. This still needs integration on the NFS side.

2012-03-05ext4: don't release page refs in ext4_end_bio()Curt Wohlgemuth
We can clear PageWriteback on each page when the IO completes, but we can't release the references on the page until we convert any uninitialized extents. Without this patch, the use of the dioread_nolock mount option can break buffered writes, because extents may not be converted by the time a subsequent buffered read comes in; if the page is not in the page cache, a read will return zeros if the extent is still uninitialized. I tested this with a (temporary) patch that adds a call to msleep(1000) at the start of ext4_end_io_work(), to delay processing of each DIO-unwritten work queue item. With this msleep(), a simple workload of fallocate write fadvise read will fail without this patch, succeeds with it.
