Commit 8aeb00ff85a: "ext4: fix overhead calculation used by ext4_statfs()" introduced a O(n**2) calculation which makes very large file systems take forever to mount. Fix this with an optimization for non-bigalloc file systems. (For bigalloc file systems the overhead needs to be set in the the superblock.)

2012-08-17ext4: don't call ext4_error while block group is lockedTheodore Ts'o
While in ext4_validate_block_bitmap(), if an block allocation bitmap is found to be invalid, we call ext4_error() while the block group is still locked. This causes ext4_commit_super() to call a function which might sleep while in an atomic context. There's no need to keep the block group locked at this point, so hoist the ext4_error() call up to ext4_validate_block_bitmap() and release the block group spinlock before calling ext4_error().

2012-08-05ext4: avoid kmemcheck complaint from reading uninitialized memoryTheodore Ts'o
Commit 03179fe923 introduced a kmemcheck complaint in ext4_da_get_block_prep() because we save and restore ei->i_da_metadata_calc_last_lblock even though it is left uninitialized in the case where i_da_metadata_calc_len is zero. This doesn't hurt anything, but silencing the kmemcheck complaint makes it easier for people to find real bugs.

2012-08-05ext4: make sure the journal sb is written in ext4_clear_journal_err()Theodore Ts'o
After we transfer set the EXT4_ERROR_FS bit in the file system superblock, it's not enough to call jbd2_journal_clear_err() to clear the error indication from journal superblock --- we need to call jbd2_journal_update_sb_errno() as well. Otherwise, when the root file system is mounted read-only, the journal is replayed, and the error indicator is transferred to the superblock --- but the s_errno field in the jbd2 superblock is left set (since although we cleared it in memory, we never flushed it out to disk). This can end up confusing e2fsck. We should make e2fsck more robust in this case, but the kernel shouldn't be leaving things in this confused state, either.

Also we add a freeze protection to ext4_evict_inode() so that iput() of unlinked inode cannot modify a frozen filesystem (we cannot easily instrument ext4_journal_start() / ext4_journal_stop() with freeze protection because we are missing the superblock pointer in ext4_journal_stop() in nojournal mode).

2012-07-30ext4: use memweight()Akinobu Mita
Convert ext4_count_free() to use memweight() instead of table lookup based counting clear bits implementation. This change only affects the code segments enabled by EXT4FS_DEBUG. Note that this memweight() call can't be replaced with a single bitmap_weight() call, although the pointer to the memory area is aligned to long-word boundary. Because the size of the memory area may not be a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, then it returns wrong value on big-endian architecture. This also includes the following change. - Remove unnecessary map == NULL check in ext4_count_free() which always takes non-null pointer as the memory area.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull the big VFS changes from Al Viro: "This one is *big* and changes quite a few things around VFS. What's in there: - the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open intents. The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in fs/namei.c, we finally have it. Unlike his variant, this one doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is ->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing everything via its fields. Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E... on error, 0 on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g. symlink found on server, etc.). See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open(). That made a lot of goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile: ->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag. With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still visible in namei.h, but not for long. Come the next cycle, declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c itself. [me, miklos, hch] - The second major change: behaviour of final fput(). Now we have __fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep in call stack. That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there. Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which has immediately simplified life for aio.c). We also don't need anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore. There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially asynchronous. For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace. For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there might be more. There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's __fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately). I hope we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for details. [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last cycle] - sync series from Jan - large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones. As far as I understand, those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread calling it. - preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells). - assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual. This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes, so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle). I'll probably throw symlink/hardlink restrictions stuff from Kees into the next pile, too.

2012-07-23ext4: undo ext4_calc_metadata_amount if we fail to claim spaceTheodore Ts'o
The function ext4_calc_metadata_amount() has side effects, although it's not obvious from its function name. So if we fail to claim space, regardless of whether we retry to claim the space again, or return an error, we need to undo these side effects. Otherwise we can end up incorrectly calculating the number of metadata blocks needed for the operation, which was responsible for an xfstests failure for test #271 when using an ext2 file system with delalloc enabled.

2012-07-22ext4: don't let i_reserved_meta_blocks go negativeBrian Foster
If we hit a condition where we have allocated metadata blocks that were not appropriately reserved, we risk underflow of ei->i_reserved_meta_blocks. In turn, this can throw sbi->s_dirtyclusters_counter significantly out of whack and undermine the nondelalloc fallback logic in ext4_nonda_switch(). Warn if this occurs and set i_allocated_meta_blocks to avoid this problem. This condition is reproduced by xfstests 270 against ext2 with delalloc enabled: Mar 28 08:58:02 localhost kernel: [ 171.526344] EXT4-fs (loop1): delayed block allocation failed for inode 14 at logical offset 64486 with max blocks 64 with error -28 Mar 28 08:58:02 localhost kernel: [ 171.526346] EXT4-fs (loop1): This should not happen!!

2012-07-22ext4: fix hole punch failure when depth is greater than 0Ashish Sangwan
Whether to continue removing extents or not is decided by the return value of function ext4_ext_more_to_rm() which checks 2 conditions: a) if there are no more indexes to process. b) if the number of entries are decreased in the header of "depth -1". In case of hole punch, if the last block to be removed is not part of the last extent index than this index will not be deleted, hence the number of valid entries in the extent header of "depth - 1" will remain as it is and ext4_ext_more_to_rm will return 0 although the required blocks are not yet removed. This patch fixes the above mentioned problem as instead of removing the extents from the end of file, it starts removing the blocks from the particular extent from which removing blocks is actually required and continue backward until done.

2012-07-22ext4: remove unnecessary superblock dirtyingArtem Bityutskiy
This patch changes the 'ext4_handle_dirty_super()' function which submits the superblock for I/O in the following cases: 1. When creating the first large file on a file system without EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_LARGE_FILE feature. 2. When re-sizing the file-system. 3. When creating an xattr on a file-system without the EXT4_FEATURE_COMPAT_EXT_ATTR feature. If the file-system has journal enabled, the superblock is written via the journal. We do not modify this path. If the file-system has no journal, this function, falls back to just marking the superblock as dirty using the 's_dirt' superblock flag. This means that it delays the actual superblock I/O submission by 5 seconds (default setting). Namely, the 'sync_supers()' kernel thread will call 'ext4_write_super()' later and will actually submit the superblock for I/O. And this is the behavior this patch modifies: we stop using 's_dirt' and just mark the superblock buffer as dirty right away. Indeed, all 3 cases above are extremely rare and it does not add any value to delay the I/O submission for them. Note: 'ext4_handle_dirty_super()' executes '__ext4_handle_dirty_super()' with 'now = 0'. This patch basically makes the 'now' argument unneeded and it will be deleted in one of the next patches. This patch also removes 's_dirt' condition on the unmount path because we never set it anymore, so we should not test it. Tested using xfstests for both journalled and non-journalled ext4.

2012-07-22ext4: make quota as first class supported featureAditya Kali
This patch adds support for quotas as a first class feature in ext4; which is to say, the quota files are stored in hidden inodes as file system metadata, instead of as separate files visible in the file system directory hierarchy. It is based on the proposal at: https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Design_For_1st_Class_Quota_in_Ext4 This patch introduces a new feature - EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_QUOTA which, when turned on, enables quota accounting at mount time iteself. Also, the quota inodes are stored in two additional superblock fields. Some changes introduced by this patch that should be pointed out are: 1) Two new ext4-superblock fields - s_usr_quota_inum and s_grp_quota_inum for storing the quota inodes in use. 2) Default quota inodes are: inode#3 for tracking userquota and inode#4 for tracking group quota. The superblock fields can be set to use other inodes as well. 3) If the QUOTA feature and corresponding quota inodes are set in superblock, the quota usage tracking is turned on at mount time. On 'quotaon' ioctl, the quota limits enforcement is turned on. 'quotaoff' ioctl turns off only the limits enforcement in this case. 4) When QUOTA feature is in use, the quota mount options 'quota', 'usrquota', 'grpquota' are ignored by the kernel. 5) mke2fs or tune2fs can be used to set the QUOTA feature and initialize quota inodes. The default reserved inodes will not be visible to user as regular files. 6) The quota-tools will need to be modified to support hidden quota files on ext4. E2fsprogs will also include support for creating and fixing quota files. 7) Support is only for the new V2 quota file format.

2012-07-23vfs: allow custom EOF in generic_file_llseek codeEric Sandeen
For ext3/4 htree directories, using the vfs llseek function with SEEK_END goes to i_size like for any other file, but in reality we want the maximum possible hash value. Recent changes in ext4 have cut & pasted generic_file_llseek() back into fs/ext4/dir.c, but replicating this core code seems like a bad idea, especially since the copy has already diverged from the vfs. This patch updates generic_file_llseek_size to accept both a custom maximum offset, and a custom EOF position. With this in place, ext4_dir_llseek can pass in the appropriate maximum hash position for both maxsize and eof, and get what it wants. As far as I know, this does not fix any bugs - nfs in the kernel doesn't use SEEK_END, and I don't know of any user who does. But some ext4 folks seem keen on doing the right thing here, and I can't really argue.

2012-07-22quota: Move quota syncing to ->sync_fs methodJan Kara
Since the moment writes to quota files are using block device page cache and space for quota structures is reserved at the moment they are first accessed we have no reason to sync quota before inode writeback. In fact this order is now only harmful since quota information can easily change during inode writeback (either because conversion of delayed-allocated extents or simply because of allocation of new blocks for simple filesystems not using page_mkwrite). So move syncing of quota information after writeback of inodes into ->sync_fs method. This way we do not have to use ->quota_sync callback which is primarily intended for use by quotactl syscall anyway and we get rid of calling ->sync_fs() twice unnecessarily. We skip quota syncing for OCFS2 since it does proper quota journalling in all cases (unlike ext3, ext4, and reiserfs which also support legacy non-journalled quotas) and thus there are no dirty quota structures.

2012-07-09ext4: add a new nolock flag in ext4_map_blocksZheng Liu
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_NO_LOCK flag is added to indicate that we don't need to acquire i_data_sem lock in ext4_map_blocks. Meanwhile, it changes ext4_get_block() to not start a new journal because when we do a overwrite dio, there is no any metadata that needs to be modified. We define a new function called ext4_get_block_write_nolock, which is used in dio overwrite nolock. In this function, it doesn't try to acquire i_data_sem lock and doesn't start a new journal as it does a lookup.

2012-07-09ext4: use s_csum_seed instead of i_csum_seed for xattr blockTao Ma
In xattr block operation, we use h_refcount to indicate whether the xattr block is shared among many inodes. And xattr block csum uses s_csum_seed if it is shared and i_csum_seed if it belongs to one inode. But this has a problem. So consider the block is shared first bewteen inode A and B, and B has some xattr update and CoW the xattr block. When it updates the *old* xattr block(because of the h_refcount change) and calls ext4_xattr_release_block, we has no idea that inode A is the real owner of the *old* xattr block and we can't use the i_csum_seed of inode A either in xattr block csum calculation. And I don't think we have an easy way to find inode A. So this patch just removes the tricky i_csum_seed and we now uses s_csum_seed every time for the xattr block csum. The corresponding patch for the e2fsprogs will be sent in another patch. This is spotted by xfstests 117.

In ext4_rename, when the old name is a dir, we need to change ".." to its new parent and journal the change, so with metadata_csum enabled, we have to re-calc the csum. As the first block of the dir can be either a htree root or a normal directory block and we have different csum calculation for these 2 types, we have to choose the right one in ext4_rename. btw, it is found by xfstests 013.

Commit f975d6bcc7a introduced bug which caused ext4_statfs() to miscalculate the number of file system overhead blocks. This causes the f_blocks field in the statfs structure to be larger than it should be.

2012-06-30ext4: avoid uneeded calls to ext4_mb_load_buddy() while reading mb_groupsAditya Kali
Currently ext4_mb_load_buddy is called for every group, irrespective of whether the group info is already in memory, while reading /proc/fs/ext4/<partition>/mb_groups proc file. For the purpose of mb_groups proc file, it is unnecessary to load the file group info from disk if it was loaded in past. These calls to ext4_mb_load_buddy make reading the mb_groups proc file expensive. Also, the locks around ext4_get_group_info are not required. This patch modifies the code to call ext4_mb_load_buddy only if the group info had never been loaded into memory in past. It also removes the mb group locking around ext4_get_group_info call.

2012-06-07ext4: fix the free blocks calculation for ext3 file systems w/ uninit_bgTheodore Ts'o
Ext3 filesystems that are converted to use as many ext4 file system features as possible will enable uninit_bg to speed up e2fsck times. These file systems will have a native ext3 layout of inode tables and block allocation bitmaps (as opposed to ext4's flex_bg layout). Unfortunately, in these cases, when first allocating a block in an uninitialized block group, ext4 would incorrectly calculate the number of free blocks in that block group, and then errorneously report that the file system was corrupt: EXT4-fs error (device vdd): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:741: group 30, 32254 clusters in bitmap, 32258 in gd This problem can be reproduced via: mke2fs -q -t ext4 -O ^flex_bg /dev/vdd 5g mount -t ext4 /dev/vdd /mnt fallocate -l 4600m /mnt/test The problem was caused by a bone headed mistake in the check to see if a particular metadata block was part of the block group.

2012-06-01ext4: hole-punch use truncate_pagecache_rangeHugh Dickins
When truncating a file, we unmap pages from userspace first, as that's usually more efficient than relying, page by page, on the fallback in truncate_inode_page() - particularly if the file is mapped many times. Do the same when punching a hole: 3.4 added truncate_pagecache_range() to do the unmap and trunc, so use it in ext4_ext_punch_hole(), instead of calling truncate_inode_pages_range() directly.
