      ext4: fix extent sanity checking code with AGGRESSIVE_TEST · 55ad63bf
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      
      
      The extents sanity-checking code depends on the ext4_ext_space_*()
      functions returning the maximum alloable size for eh_max; however,
      when the debugging #ifdef AGGRESSIVE_TEST is enabled to test the
      extent tree handling code, this prevents a normally created ext4
      filesystem from being mounted with the errors:
      
      Aug 26 15:43:50 bsd086 kernel: [   96.070277] EXT4-fs error (device sda8): ext4_ext_check_inode: bad header/extent in inode #8: too large eh_max - magic f30a, entries 1, max 4(3), depth 0(0)

      ext4: use ext4_grpblk_t more extensively · a36b4498
      Eric Sandeen authored
      
      
      unsigned  short is potentially too small to track blocks within
      a group; today it is safe due to restrictions in e2fsprogs but
      we have _lo / _hi bits for group blocks with the intent to go
      up to 32 bits, so clean this up now.
      
      There are many more places where we use unsigned/int/unsigned int
      to contain a group block but this should at least fix all the
      short types.
      
      I added a few comments to the struct ext4_group_info definition
      as well.

      ext4: Add feature set check helper for mount & remount paths · a13fb1a4
      Eric Sandeen authored
      
      
      A user reported that although his root ext4 filesystem was mounting
      fine, other filesystems would not mount, with the:
      
      "Filesystem with huge files cannot be mounted RDWR without CONFIG_LBDAF"
      
      error on his 32-bit box built without CONFIG_LBDAF.  This is because
      the test at mount time for this situation was not being re-checked
      on remount, and the normal boot process makes an ro->rw transition,
      so this was being missed.
      
      Refactor to make a common helper function to test the filesystem
      features against the type of mount request (RO vs. RW) so that we 
      stay consistent.

      simplify some logic in ext4_mb_normalize_request · 38877f4e
      Eric Sandeen authored
      
      
      While reading through some of the mballoc code it seems that a couple
      spots in the size normalization function could be streamlined.
      
      The test for non-overlapping PAs can be or'd for the start & end
      conditions, and the tests for adjacent PAs can be else-if'd - 
      it's essentially independently testing:
      
      	if (A + B <= C)
      		...
      	if (A > C)
      		...
      
      These cannot both be true so it seems like the else-if might
      be slightly more efficient and/or informative.

      ext4_mb_update_group_info is only called in one place, and it's
      extremely simple.  There's no reason to have it in a separate function
      in a separate file as far as I can tell, it just obfuscates what's
      really going on.
      
      Perhaps it was intended to keep the grp->bb_* manipulation local to
      mballoc.c but we're already accessing other grp-> fields in balloc.c
      directly so this seems ok.

      ext4 will happily mount a > 16T filesystem on a 32-bit box, but

      Adding another test to the existing "too many sectors" test

      ext4: Fix possible deadlock between ext4_truncate() and ext4_get_blocks() · 487caeef
      Jan Kara authored
      
      
      During truncate we are sometimes forced to start a new transaction as
      the amount of blocks to be journaled is both quite large and hard to
      predict. So far we restarted a transaction while holding i_data_sem
      and that violates lock ordering because i_data_sem ranks below a
      transaction start (and it can lead to a real deadlock with
      ext4_get_blocks() mapping blocks in some page while having a
      transaction open).
      
      We fix the problem by dropping the i_data_sem before restarting the
      transaction and acquire it afterwards. It's slightly subtle that this
      works:
      
      1) By the time ext4_truncate() is called, all the page cache for the
      truncated part of the file is dropped so get_block() should not be
      called on it (we only have to invalidate extent cache after we
      reacquire i_data_sem because some extent from not-truncated part could
      extend also into the part we are going to truncate).
      
      2) Writes, migrate or defrag hold i_mutex so they are stopped for all
      the time of the truncate.

      ext4: Avoid group preallocation for closed files · 50797481
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      
      
      Currently the group preallocation code tries to find a large (512)
      free block from which to do per-cpu group allocation for small files.
      The problem with this scheme is that it leaves the filesystem horribly
      fragmented.  In the worst case, if the filesystem is unmounted and
      remounted (after a system shutdown, for example) we forget the fact
      that wee were using a particular (now-partially filled) 512 block
      extent.  So the next time we try to allocate space for a small file,
      we will find *another* completely free 512 block chunk to allocate
      small files.  Given that there are 32,768 blocks in a block group,
      after 64 iterations of "mount, write one 4k file in a directory,
      unmount", the block group will have 64 files, each separated by 511
      blocks, and the block group will no longer have any free 512
      completely free chunks of blocks for group preallocation space.
      
      So if we try to allocate blocks for a file that has been closed, such
      that we know the final size of the file, and the filesystem is not
      busy, avoid using group preallocation.

      ext4: Fix bugs in mballoc's stream allocation mode · 4ba74d00
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      
      
      The logic around sbi->s_mb_last_group and sbi->s_mb_last_start was all
      screwed up.  These fields were getting unconditionally all the time,
      set even when stream allocation had not taken place, and if they were
      being used when the file was smaller than s_mb_stream_request, which
      is when the allocation should _not_ be doing stream allocation.
      
      Fix this by determining whether or not we stream allocation should
      take place once, in ext4_mb_group_or_file(), and setting a flag which
      gets used in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() and ext4_mb_use_best_found().
      This simplifies the code and assures that we are consistently using
      (or not using) the stream allocation logic.

      ext4: More buffer head reference leaks · 6487a9d3
      Curt Wohlgemuth authored
      
      
      After the patch I posted last week regarding buffer head ref leaks in
      no-journal mode, I looked at all the code that uses buffer heads and
      searched for more potential leaks.
      
      The patch below fixes the issues I found; these can occur even when a
      journal is present.
      
      The change to inode.c fixes a double release if
      ext4_journal_get_create_access() fails.
      
      The changes to namei.c are more complicated.  add_dirent_to_buf() will
      release the input buffer head EXCEPT when it returns -ENOSPC.  There are
      some callers of this routine that don't always do the brelse() in the event
      that -ENOSPC is returned.  Unfortunately, to put this fix into ext4_add_entry()
      required capturing the return value of make_indexed_dir() and
      add_dirent_to_buf().

      Fixed up conflict in arch/powerpc/kernel/pci_64.c due to OF device tree
      scanning having been moved and merged for the 32- and 64-bit cases.  The
      'needs_freset' initialization added in 6e19314c ("PCI/powerpc: support
      PCIe fundamental reset") is now in arch/powerpc/kernel/pci_of_scan.c.

      wb_clear_pending AFAIKS should not be called after the item has been
      put on the list, except by the worker threads. It could lead to the
      situation where the refcount is decremented below 0 and cause lots of
      problems.
      
      Presumably the !wb_has_dirty_io case is not a common one, so it can
      be discovered when the thread wakes up to check?
      
      Also add a comment in bdi_work_clear.
