Theodore Ts'o e3cf5d5d9a ext4: prepare to drop EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVED
The EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVED flag was originally implemented
because it was too hard to make sure the mballoc and get_block flags
could be reliably passed down through all of the codepaths that end up
calling ext4_mb_new_blocks().

Since then, we have mb_flags passed down through most of the code
paths, so getting rid of EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVED isn't as tricky
as it used to.

This commit plumbs in the last of what is required, and then adds a
WARN_ON check to make sure we haven't missed anything.  If this passes
a full regression test run, we can then drop
EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVED.

Theodore Ts'o a521100231 ext4: pass allocation_request struct to ext4_(alloc,splice)_branch
Instead of initializing the allocation_request structure in
ext4_alloc_branch(), set it up in ext4_ind_map_blocks(), and then pass
it to ext4_alloc_branch() and ext4_splice_branch().

This allows ext4_ind_map_blocks to pass flags in the allocation
request structure without having to add Yet Another argument to
ext4_alloc_branch().

Lukas Czerner 4f579ae7de ext4: fix punch hole on files with indirect mapping
Currently punch hole code on files with direct/indirect mapping has some
problems which may lead to a data loss. For example (from Jan Kara):

fallocate -n -p 10240000 4096

will punch the range 10240000 - 12632064 instead of the range 1024000 -
10244096.

Also the code is a bit weird and it's not using infrastructure provided
by indirect.c, but rather creating it's own way.

This patch fixes the issues as well as making the operation to run 4
times faster from my testing (punching out 60GB file). It uses similar
approach used in ext4_ind_truncate() which takes advantage of
ext4_free_branches() function.

Also rename the ext4_free_hole_blocks() to something more sensible, like
the equivalent we have for extent mapped files. Call it
ext4_ind_remove_space().

This has been tested mostly with fsx and some xfstests which are testing
punch hole but does not require unwritten extents which are not
supported with direct/indirect mapping. Not problems showed up even with
1024k block size.

Jan Kara a93cd4cf86 ext4: Fix hole punching for files with indirect blocks
Hole punching code for files with indirect blocks wrongly computed
number of blocks which need to be cleared when traversing the indirect
block tree. That could result in punching more blocks than actually
requested and thus effectively cause a data loss. For example:

fallocate -n -p 10240000 4096

will punch the range 10240000 - 12632064 instead of the range 1024000 -
10244096. Fix the calculation.

Jan Kara 77ea2a4ba6 ext4: Fix block zeroing when punching holes in indirect block files
free_holes_block() passed local variable as a block pointer
to ext4_clear_blocks(). Thus ext4_clear_blocks() zeroed out this local
variable instead of proper place in inode / indirect block. We later
zero out proper place in inode / indirect block but don't dirty the
inode / buffer again which can lead to subtle issues (some changes e.g.
to inode can be lost).

Jan Kara c5c7b8ddfb ext4: Fix buffer double free in ext4_alloc_branch()
Error recovery in ext4_alloc_branch() calls ext4_forget() even for
buffer corresponding to indirect block it did not allocate. This leads
to brelse() being called twice for that buffer (once from ext4_forget()
and once from cleanup in ext4_ind_map_blocks()) leading to buffer use
count misaccounting. Eventually (but often much later because there
are other users of the buffer) we will see messages like:
VFS: brelse: Trying to free free buffer

Another manifestation of this problem is an error:
JBD2 unexpected failure: jbd2_journal_revoke: !buffer_revoked(bh);
inconsistent data on disk

The fix is easy - don't forget buffer we did not allocate. Also add an
explanatory comment because the indexing at ext4_alloc_branch() is
somewhat subtle.

After applied the commit (4a092d73), we have reduced the number of
source files that need to #include ext4_extents.h.  But we can do
better.

This commit defines ext4_zeroout_es() in extents.c and move
EXT_MAX_BLOCKS into ext4.h in order not to include ext4_extents.h in
indirect.c and ioctl.c.  Meanwhile we just need to include this file in
extent_status.c when ES_AGGRESSIVE_TEST is defined.  Otherwise, this
commit removes a duplicated declaration in trace/events/ext4.h.

After applied this patch, we just need to include ext4_extents.h file
in {super,migrate,move_extents,extents}.c, and it is easy for us to
define a new extent disk layout.

Theodore Ts'o 26a4c0c6cc ext4: refactor punch hole code
Move common code in ext4_ind_punch_hole() and ext4_ext_punch_hole()
into ext4_punch_hole().  This saves over 150 lines of code.

This also fixes a potential bug when the punch_hole() code is racing
against indirect-to-extents or extents-to-indirect migation.  We are
currently using i_mutex to protect against changes to the inode flag;
specifically, the append-only, immutable, and extents inode flags.  So
we need to take i_mutex before deciding whether to use the
extents-specific or indirect-specific punch_hole code.

Also, there was a missing call to ext4_inode_block_unlocked_dio() in
the indirect punch codepath.  This was added in commit 02d262dffc
to block DIO readers racing against the punch operation in the
codepath for extent-mapped inodes, but it was missing for
indirect-block mapped inodes.  One of the advantages of refactoring
the code is that it makes such oversights much less likely.

Theodore Ts'o 9924a92a8c ext4: pass context information to jbd2__journal_start()
So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for
long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass
context information for logging purposes.

The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is:

   T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
   EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats
   echo "interval > 5" > $EVENT/filter
   echo 1 > $EVENT/enable

   ./run-my-fs-benchmark

   cat $T/trace > /tmp/problem-handles

This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms.  Having
longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong
time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an
fsync() or an O_SYNC operation.  Here is an example line from the
trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over
1.2 seconds:

This patch add supports for indirect file support punching hole.  It
is almost the same as ext4_ext_punch_hole.  First, we invalidate all
pages between this hole, and then we try to deallocate all blocks of

A recursive function is used to handle deallocation of blocks.  In
this function, it iterates over the entries in inode's i_blocks or
indirect blocks, and try to free the block for each one of them.

After applying this patch, xfstest #255 will not pass w/o extent because
indirect-based file doesn't support unwritten extents.

Theodore Ts'o 4a092d7379 ext4: rationalize ext4_extents.h inclusion
Previously, ext4_extents.h was being included at the end of ext4.h,
which was bad for a number of reasons: (a) it was not being included
in the expected place, and (b) it caused the header to be included
multiple times.  There were #ifdef's to prevent this from causing any
problems, but it still was unnecessary.

By moving the function declarations that were in ext4_extents.h to
ext4.h, which is standard practice for where the function declarations
for the rest of ext4.h can be found, we can remove ext4_extents.h from
being included in ext4.h at all, and then we can only include
ext4_extents.h where it is needed in ext4's source files.

It should be possible to move a few more things into ext4.h, and
further reduce the number of source files that need to #include
ext4_extents.h, but that's a cleanup for another day.

Dmitry Monakhov c278531d39 ext4: fix ext4_flush_completed_IO wait semantics
BUG #1) All places where we call ext4_flush_completed_IO are broken
    because buffered io and DIO/AIO goes through three stages
    1) submitted io,
    2) completed io (in i_completed_io_list) conversion pended
    3) finished  io (conversion done)
    And by calling ext4_flush_completed_IO we will flush only
    requests which were in (2) stage, which is wrong because:
     1) punch_hole and truncate _must_ wait for all outstanding unwritten io
      regardless to it's state.
     2) fsync and nolock_dio_read should also wait because there is
        a time window between end_page_writeback() and ext4_add_complete_io()
        As result integrity fsync is broken in case of buffered write
        to fallocated region:
        fsync                                      blkdev_completion
	 ->filemap_write_and_wait_range

                                                     ->end_page_writeback
          <-- filemap_write_and_wait_range return
	 ->ext4_flush_completed_IO
   	 sees empty i_completed_io_list but pended

This patch make following changes:
1) ext4_flush_completed_io() now first try to flush completed io and when
   wait for any outstanding unwritten io via ext4_unwritten_wait()
2) Rename function to more appropriate name.

Dmitry Monakhov 28a535f9a0 ext4: completed_io locking cleanup
Current unwritten extent conversion state-machine is very fuzzy.
- For unknown reason it performs conversion under i_mutex. What for?
  My diagnosis:
  We already protect extent tree with i_data_sem, truncate and punch_hole
  should wait for DIO, so the only data we have to protect is end_io->flags
  modification, but only flush_completed_IO and end_io_work modified this
  flags and we can serialize them via i_completed_io_lock.

  Currently all these games with mutex_trylock result in the following deadlock
   truncate:                          kworker:
    ext4_setattr                       ext4_end_io_work
    mutex_lock(i_mutex)
    inode_dio_wait(inode)  ->BLOCK
                             DEADLOCK<- mutex_trylock()
                                        inode_dio_done()
  #TEST_CASE1_BEGIN
  MNT=/mnt_scrach
  unlink $MNT/file
  fallocate -l $((1024*1024*1024)) $MNT/file
  aio-stress -I 100000 -O -s 100m -n -t 1 -c 10 -o 2 -o 3 $MNT/file
  sleep 2
  truncate -s 0 $MNT/file
  #TEST_CASE1_END

Or use 286's xfstests https://github.com/dmonakhov/xfstests/blob/devel/286

This patch makes state machine simple and clean:

(1) xxx_end_io schedule final extent conversion simply by calling
    ext4_add_complete_io(), which append it to ei->i_completed_io_list
    NOTE1: because of (2A) work should be queued only if
    ->i_completed_io_list was empty, otherwise the work is scheduled already.

(2) ext4_flush_completed_IO is responsible for handling all pending
    end_io from ei->i_completed_io_list
    Flushing sequence consists of following stages:
    A) LOCKED: Atomically drain completed_io_list to local_list
    B) Perform extents conversion
    C) LOCKED: move converted io's to to_free list for final deletion
       	     This logic depends on context which we was called from.
    D) Final end_io context destruction
    NOTE1: i_mutex is no longer required because end_io->flags modification
    is protected by ei->ext4_complete_io_lock

Full list of changes:
- Move all completion end_io related routines to page-io.c in order to improve
  logic locality
- Move open coded logic from various xx_end_xx routines to ext4_add_complete_io()
- remove EXT4_IO_END_FSYNC
- Improve SMP scalability by removing useless i_mutex which does not
  protect io->flags anymore.
- Reduce lock contention on i_completed_io_lock by optimizing list walk.
- Rename ext4_end_io_nolock to end4_end_io and make it static
- Check flush completion status to ext4_ext_punch_hole(). Because it is
  not good idea to punch blocks from corrupted inode.

Changes since V3 (in request to Jan's comments):
  Fall back to active flush_completed_IO() approach in order to prevent
  performance issues with nolocked DIO reads.
Changes since V2:
  Fix use-after-free caused by race truncate vs end_io_work

Delete any instances of include module.h that were not strictly
required.  In the case of ext2, the declaration of MODULE_LICENSE
etc. were in inode.c but the module_init/exit were in super.c, so
relocate the MODULE_LICENCE/AUTHOR block to super.c which makes it
consistent with ext3 and ext4 at the same time.

Theodore Ts'o bab08ab964 ext4: enforce bigalloc restrictions (e.g., no online resizing, etc.)
At least initially if the bigalloc feature is enabled, we will not
support non-extent mapped inodes, online resizing, online defrag, or
the FITRIM ioctl.  This simplifies the initial implementation.

Allison Henderson 189e868fa8 ext4: fix fsx truncate failure
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.

Jiaying Zhang dccaf33fa3 ext4: flush any pending end_io requests before DIO reads w/dioread_nolock
There is a race between ext4 buffer write and direct_IO read with
dioread_nolock mount option enabled. The problem is that we clear
PageWriteback flag during end_io time but will do
uninitialized-to-initialized extent conversion later with dioread_nolock.
If an O_direct read request comes in during this period, ext4 will return
zero instead of the recently written data.

This patch checks whether there are any pending uninitialized-to-initialized
extent conversion requests before doing O_direct read to close the race.
Note that this is just a bandaid fix. The fundamental issue is that we
clear PageWriteback flag before we really complete an IO, which is
problem-prone. To fix the fundamental issue, we may need to implement an
extent tree cache that we can use to look up pending to-be-converted extents.

Fix up conflict in fs/ext4/inode.c: commit aacfc19c62 ("fs: simplify
the blockdev_direct_IO prototype") had changed the ext4_ind_direct_IO()
function for the new simplified calling convention, while commit
dae1e52cb1 ("ext4: move ext4_ind_* functions from inode.c to
indirect.c") moved the function to another file.

Eric Sandeen f86186b44b ext4: refactor duplicated block placement code
I found that ext4_ext_find_goal() and ext4_find_near()
share the same code for returning a coloured start block
based on i_block_group.

We can refactor this into a common function so that they
don't diverge in the future.

Thanks to adilger for suggesting the new function name.

Amir Goldstein dae1e52cb1 ext4: move ext4_ind_* functions from inode.c to indirect.c
This patch moves functions from inode.c to indirect.c.
The moved functions are ext4_ind_* functions and their helpers.
Functions called from inode.c are declared extern.
