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.

We are going to remove the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag in the future, so this is

since the e2fsck is still checking for it and it might cause headache to
some people. Instead, remove the restrictive checks now and the rest
later, when the new e2fsck code is out and common enough.
This is also needed because punch hole already breaks the EOFBLOCKS_FL

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.

Tested: Without this patch, the file system image found in
tests/f_ext_zero_len/image.gz in the latest e2fsprogs sources causes a
kernel panic. With this patch, an ext4 file system error is noted
instead, and the file system is marked as being corrupted.

We found performance regression when using bigalloc with "nodelalloc"
(1MB cluster size):
1. mke2fs -C 1048576 -O ^has_journal,bigalloc /dev/sda
2. mount -o nodelalloc /dev/sda /test/
3. time dd if=/dev/zero of=/test/io bs=1048576 count=1024
The "dd" will cost about 2 seconds to finish, but if we mke2fs without
"bigalloc", "dd" will only cost less than 1 second.
The reason is: when using ext4 with "nodelalloc", it will call
ext4_find_delalloc_cluster() nearly everytime it call
ext4_ext_map_blocks(), and ext4_find_delalloc_range() will also scan
all pages in cluster because no buffer is "delayed". A cluster has
256 pages (1MB cluster), so it will scan 256 * 256k pags when creating
a 1G file. That severely hurts the performance.
Therefore, we return immediately from ext4_find_delalloc_range() in
nodelalloc mode, since by definition there can't be any delalloc
pages.

ext4_ext_insert_extent() (respectively ext4_ext_insert_index())
was using EXT_MAX_EXTENT() (resp. EXT_MAX_INDEX()) to determine
how many entries needed to be moved beyond the insertion point.
In practice this means that (320 - I) * 24 bytes were memmove()'d
when I is the insertion point, rather than (#entries - I) * 24 bytes.
This patch uses EXT_LAST_EXTENT() (resp. EXT_LAST_INDEX()) instead
to only move existing entries. The code flow is also simplified
slightly to highlight similarities and reduce code duplication in
the insertion logic.
This patch reduces system CPU consumption by over 25% on a 4kB
synchronous append DIO write workload when used with the
pre-2.6.39 x86_64 memmove() implementation. With the much faster
2.6.39 memmove() implementation we still see a decrease in
system CPU usage between 2% and 7%.
Note that the ext_debug() output changes with this patch, splitting
some log information between entries. Users of the ext_debug() output
should note that the "move %d" units changed from reporting the number
of bytes moved to reporting the number of entries moved.

This patch introduces a fast path in ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized()
for the case when the conversion can be performed by transferring
the newly initialized blocks from the uninitialized extent into
an adjacent initialized extent. Doing so removes the expensive
invocations of memmove() which occur during extent insertion and
the subsequent merge.
In practice this should be the common case for clients performing
append writes into files pre-allocated via
fallocate(FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE). In such a workload performed via
direct IO and when using a suboptimal implementation of memmove()
(x86_64 prior to the 2.6.39 rewrite), this patch reduces kernel CPU
consumption by 32%.
Two new trace points are added to ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized()
to offer visibility into its operations. No exit trace point has
been added due to the multiplicity of return points. This can be
revisited once the upstream cleanup is backported.

When we want to convert the unitialized extent in direct write, we can
either do it in ext4_end_io_nolock(AIO case) or in
ext4_ext_direct_IO(non AIO case) and EXT4_I(inode)->cur_aio_dio is a
guard for ext4_ext_map_blocks to find the right case. In e9e3bcecf,
we mistakenly change it by:
- if (io)
+ if (io && !(io->flag & EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN)) {
io->flag = EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN;
- else
+ atomic_inc(&EXT4_I(inode)->i_aiodio_unwritten);
+ } else
ext4_set_inode_state(inode,
EXT4_STATE_DIO_UNWRITTEN);
So now if we map 2 blocks, and the first one set the
EXT_IO_END_UNWRITTEN, the 2nd mapping will set inode state because of
the check for the flag. This is wrong.

Currently, there exists a race between delayed allocated writes and
the writeback when bigalloc feature is in use. The race was because we
wanted to determine what blocks in a cluster are under delayed
allocation and we were using buffer_delayed(bh) check for it. But, the
writeback codepath clears this bit without any synchronization which
resulted in a race and an ext4 warning similar to:
EXT4-fs (ram1): ext4_da_update_reserve_space: ino 13, used 1 with only 0
reserved data blocks
The race existed in two places.
(1) between ext4_find_delalloc_range() and ext4_map_blocks() when called from
writeback code path.
(2) between ext4_find_delalloc_range() and ext4_da_get_block_prep() (where
buffer_delayed(bh) is set.
To fix (1), this patch introduces a new buffer_head state bit -
BH_Da_Mapped. This bit is set under the protection of
EXT4_I(inode)->i_data_sem when we have actually mapped the delayed
allocated blocks during the writeout time. We can now reliably check
for this bit inside ext4_find_delalloc_range() to determine whether
the reservation for the blocks have already been claimed or not.
To fix (2), it was necessary to set buffer_delay(bh) under the
protection of i_data_sem. So, I extracted the very beginning of
ext4_map_blocks into a new function - ext4_da_map_blocks() - and
performed the required setting of bh_delay bit and the quota
reservation under the protection of i_data_sem. These two fixes makes
the checking of buffer_delay(bh) and buffer_da_mapped(bh) consistent,
thus removing the race.
Tested: I was able to reproduce the problem by running 'dd' and
'fsync' in parallel. Also, xfstests sometimes used to reproduce this
race. After the fix both my test and xfstests were successful and no
race (warning message) was observed.

This patch adds some tracepoints in ext4/extents.c and updates a tracepoint in
ext4/inode.c.
Tested: Built and ran the kernel and verified that these tracepoints work.
Also ran xfstests.

With bigalloc changes, the i_blocks value was not correctly set (it was still
set to number of blocks being used, but in case of bigalloc, we want i_blocks
to represent the number of clusters being used). Since the quota subsystem sets
the i_blocks value, this patch fixes the quota accounting and makes sure that
the i_blocks value is set correctly.

When we are truncating (as opposed unlinking) a file, we need to worry
about partial truncates of a file, especially in the light of sparse
files. The changes here make sure that arbitrary truncates of sparse
files works correctly. Yeah, it's messy.
Note that these functions will need to be revisted when the punch
ioctl is integrated --- in fact this commit will probably have merge
conflicts with the punch changes which Allison Henders and the IBM LTC
have been working on. I will need to fix this up when either patch
hits mainline.

If we need to allocate a new block in ext4_ext_map_blocks(), the
function needs to see if the cluster has already been allocated.

While running extended fsx tests to verify the first
two patches, a similar bug was also found in the
truncate operation.
This bug happens because the truncate routine only zeros
the unblock aligned portion of the last page. This means
that the block aligned portions of the page appearing after
i_size are left unzeroed, and the buffer heads still mapped.
This bug is corrected by using ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers
in the truncate routine to zero the partial page and unmap
the buffer headers.

Add debugging information in case jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() is
called with a buffer_head which didn't have
jbd2_journal_get_write_access() called on it, or if the journal_head
has the wrong transaction in it. In addition, return an error code.
This won't change anything for ocfs2, which will BUG_ON() the non-zero
exit code.
For ext4, the caller of this function is ext4_handle_dirty_metadata(),
and on seeing a non-zero return code, will call __ext4_journal_stop(),
which will print the function and line number of the (buggy) calling
function and abort the journal. This will allow us to recover instead
of bug halting, which is better from a robustness and reliability
point of view.

This patch fixes a second punch hole bug found by xfstests 127.
This bug happens because punch hole needs to flush the pages
of the hole to avoid race conditions. But if the end of the
hole is in the same page as i_size, the buffer heads beyond
i_size need to be unmapped and the page needs to be zeroed
after it is flushed.
To correct this, the new ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers
routine is used to zero and unmap the partial page
beyond i_size if the end of the hole appears in the same
page as i_size.
The code has also been optimized to set the end of the hole
to the page after i_size if the specified hole exceeds i_size,
and the code that flushes the pages has been simplified.

This patch addresses a bug found by xfstests 75, 112, 127
when blocksize = 1k
This bug happens because the punch hole code only zeros
out non block aligned regions of the page. This means that if the
blocks are smaller than a page, then the block aligned regions of
the page inside the hole are left un-zeroed, and their buffer heads
are still mapped. This bug is corrected by using
ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers to properly zero the partial page
at the head and tail of the hole, and unmap the corresponding buffer
heads
This patch also addresses a bug reported by Lukas while working on a
new patch to add discard support for loop devices using punch hole.
The bug happened because of the first and last block number
needed to be cast to a larger data type before calculating the
byte offset, but since now we only need the byte offsets of the
pages, we no longer even need to be calculating the byte offsets
of the blocks. The code to do the block offset calculations is
removed in this patch.

The logical block number in map.l_blk is a __u32, and so before we
shift it left, by the block size, we neeed cast it to a 64-bit size.
Otherwise i_size can be corrupted on an ENOSPC.
