Dan Magenheimer 7abc52c2ed ext4: add cleancache support
This seventh patch of eight in this cleancache series "opts-in"
cleancache for ext4.  Filesystems must explicitly enable cleancache
by calling cleancache_init_fs anytime an instance of the filesystem
is mounted. For ext4, all other cleancache hooks are in
the VFS layer including the matching cleancache_flush_fs
hook which must be called on unmount.

Details and a FAQ can be found in Documentation/vm/cleancache.txt

Johann Lombardi c5e06d101a ext4: add support for multiple mount protection
Prevent an ext4 filesystem from being mounted multiple times.
A sequence number is stored on disk and is periodically updated (every 5
seconds by default) by a mounted filesystem.
At mount time, we now wait for s_mmp_update_interval seconds to make sure
that the MMP sequence does not change.
In case of failure, the nodename, bdevname and the time at which the MMP
block was last updated is displayed.

Kazuya Mio d02a9391f7 ext4: ensure f_bfree returned by ext4_statfs() is non-negative
I found the issue that the number of free blocks went negative.
# stat -f /mnt/mp1/
  File: "/mnt/mp1/"
    ID: e175ccb83a872efe Namelen: 255     Type: ext2/ext3
Block size: 4096       Fundamental block size: 4096
Blocks: Total: 258022     Free: -15        Available: -13122
Inodes: Total: 65536      Free: 63029

f_bfree in struct statfs will go negative when the filesystem has
few free blocks. Because the number of dirty blocks is bigger than
the number of free blocks in the following two cases.

CASE 1:
ext4_da_writepages
  mpage_da_map_and_submit
    ext4_map_blocks
      ext4_ext_map_blocks
        ext4_mb_new_blocks
          ext4_mb_diskspace_used
            percpu_counter_sub(&sbi->s_freeblocks_counter, ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len);
        <--- interrupt statfs systemcall --->
        ext4_da_update_reserve_space
            percpu_counter_sub(&sbi->s_dirtyblocks_counter,
                            used + ei->i_allocated_meta_blocks);

CASE 2:
ext4_write_begin
  __block_write_begin
    ext4_map_blocks
      ext4_ext_map_blocks
        ext4_mb_new_blocks
          ext4_mb_diskspace_used
            percpu_counter_sub(&sbi->s_freeblocks_counter, ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len);
            <--- interrupt statfs systemcall --->
            percpu_counter_sub(&sbi->s_dirtyblocks_counter, reserv_blks);

To avoid the issue, this patch ensures that f_bfree is non-negative.

Theodore Ts'o 373cd5c53d ext4: don't show mount options in /proc/mounts if there is no journal
After creating an ext4 file system without a journal:

  # mke2fs -t ext4 -O ^has_journal /dev/sda
  # mount -t ext4 /dev/sda /test

the /proc/mounts will show:
"/dev/sda /test ext4 rw,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=writeback 0 0"
which can fool users into thinking that the fs is using writeback mode.

So don't set the writeback option when the journal has not been
enabled; we don't depend on the writeback option being set, since
ext4_should_writeback_data() in ext4_jbd2.h tests to see if the
journal is not present before returning true.

Lukas Czerner 51ce651156 ext4: fix the mount option "init_itable=n" to work as expected for n=0
For some reason, when we set the mount option "init_itable=0" it
behaves as we would set init_itable=20 which is not right at all.
Basically when we set it to zero we are saying to lazyinit thread not
to wait between zeroing the inode table (except of cond_resched()) so
this commit fixes that and removes the unnecessary condition.  The 'n'
should be also properly used on remount.

When the n is not set at all, it means that the default miltiplier
EXT4_DEF_LI_WAIT_MULT is set instead.

Lukas Czerner 4ed5c033c1 ext4: Use schedule_timeout_interruptible() for waiting in lazyinit thread
In order to make lazyinit eat approx. 10% of io bandwidth at max, we
are sleeping between zeroing each single inode table. For that purpose
we are using timer which wakes up thread when it expires. It is set
via add_timer() and this may cause troubles in the case that thread
has been woken up earlier and in next iteration we call add_timer() on
still running timer hence hitting BUG_ON in add_timer(). We could fix
that by using mod_timer() instead however we can use
schedule_timeout_interruptible() for waiting and hence simplifying
things a lot.

This commit exchange the old "waiting mechanism" with simple
schedule_timeout_interruptible(), setting the time to sleep. Hence we
do not longer need li_wait_daemon waiting queue and others, so get rid
of it.

Theodore Ts'o 2035e77605 ext4: check for ext[23] file system features when mounting as ext[23]
Provide better emulation for ext[23] mode by enforcing that the file
system does not have any unsupported file system features as defined
by ext[23] when emulating the ext[23] file system driver when
CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23 is defined.

This causes the file system type information in /proc/mounts to be
correct for the automatically mounted root file system.  This also
means that "mount -t ext2 /dev/sda /mnt" will fail if /dev/sda
contains an ext3 or ext4 file system, just as one would expect if the
original ext2 file system driver were in use.

Tao Ma 0449641130 ext4: init timer earlier to avoid a kernel panic in __save_error_info
During mount, when we fail to open journal inode or root inode, the
__save_error_info will mod_timer. But actually s_err_report isn't
initialized yet and the kernel oops. The detailed information can
be found https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32082.

The best way is to check whether the timer s_err_report is initialized
or not. But it seems that in include/linux/timer.h, we can't find a
good function to check the status of this timer, so this patch just
move the initializtion of s_err_report earlier so that we can avoid
the kernel panic. The corresponding del_timer is also added in the
error path.

inserts it into ext4_li_info->li_request_list. In case of any

dropped and freed in it. So we will double free this ext4_li_request.

This patch just sets elr to NULL after it is inserted to the list
so that the latter kfree won't double free it.

There's no good reason to require the extra step of providing
a mount option for acl or user_xattr once the feature is configured
on; no other filesystem that I know of requires this.

Userspace patches have set these options in default mount options,
and this patch makes them default in the kernel.  At some point
we can start to deprecate the options, perhaps.

For now I've removed default mount option checks in show_options()
to be explicit about what's set, since it's changing the default,
but I'm open to alternatives if desired.

Alexander V. Lukyanov 5dbd571d87 ext4: allow inode_readahead_blks=0 (linux-2.6.37)
I cannot disable inode-read-ahead feature of ext4 (on 2.6.37):

# echo 0 > /sys/fs/ext4/sda2/inode_readahead_blks 
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

On a server with lots of small files and random access this read-ahead makes
performance worse, and I'd like to disable it. I work around this problem
by using value of 1, but it still reads an extra block.

This patch fixes the problem by checking for zero explicitly.

Eric Sandeen e9e3bcecf4 ext4: serialize unaligned asynchronous DIO
ext4 has a data corruption case when doing non-block-aligned
asynchronous direct IO into a sparse file, as demonstrated
by xfstest 240.

The root cause is that while ext4 preallocates space in the
hole, mappings of that space still look "new" and 
dio_zero_block() will zero out the unwritten portions.  When
more than one AIO thread is going, they both find this "new"
block and race to zero out their portion; this is uncoordinated
and causes data corruption.

Dave Chinner fixed this for xfs by simply serializing all
unaligned asynchronous direct IO.  I've done the same here.
The difference is that we only wait on conversions, not all IO.
This is a very big hammer, and I'm not very pleased with
stuffing this into ext4_file_write().  But since ext4 is
DIO_LOCKING, we need to serialize it at this high level.

I tried to move this into ext4_ext_direct_IO, but by then
we have the i_mutex already, and we will wait on the
work queue to do conversions - which must also take the
i_mutex.  So that won't work.

This was originally exposed by qemu-kvm installing to
a raw disk image with a normal sector-63 alignment.  I've
tested a backport of this patch with qemu, and it does
avoid the corruption.  It is also quite a lot slower
(14 min for package installs, vs. 8 min for well-aligned)
but I'll take slow correctness over fast corruption any day.

Mingming suggested that we can track outstanding
conversions, and wait on those so that non-sparse
files won't be affected, and I've implemented that here;
unaligned AIO to nonsparse files won't take a perf hit.

 of bloating the ext4 inode]

Eric Sandeen 8f1f745331 ext4: fix panic on module unload when stopping lazyinit thread
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27652

If the lazyinit thread is running, the teardown function
ext4_destroy_lazyinit_thread() has problems:

        ext4_clear_request_list();
        while (ext4_li_info->li_task) {
                wake_up(&ext4_li_info->li_wait_daemon);
                wait_event(ext4_li_info->li_wait_task,
                           ext4_li_info->li_task == NULL);
        }

Clearing the request list will cause the thread to exit and free
ext4_li_info, so then we're waiting on something which is getting
freed.

Fix this up by making the thread respond to kthread_stop, and exit,
without the need to wait for that exit in some other homegrown way.

Jan Kara f00c9e44ad quota: Fix deadlock during path resolution
As Al Viro pointed out path resolution during Q_QUOTAON calls to quotactl
is prone to deadlocks. We hold s_umount semaphore for reading during the
path resolution and resolution itself may need to acquire the semaphore
for writing when e. g. autofs mountpoint is passed.

Solve the problem by performing the resolution before we get hold of the
superblock (and thus s_umount semaphore). The whole thing is complicated
by the fact that some filesystems (OCFS2) ignore the path argument. So to
distinguish between filesystem which want the path and which do not we
introduce new .quota_on_meta callback which does not get the path. OCFS2
then uses this callback instead of old .quota_on.

Replace the jbd2_inode structure (which is 48 bytes) with a pointer
and only allocate the jbd2_inode when it is needed --- that is, when
the file system has a journal present and the inode has been opened
for writing.  This allows us to further slim down the ext4_inode_info
structure.

Nick Piggin fa0d7e3de6 fs: icache RCU free inodes
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:

- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
  permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
  to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
  the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
  page lock to follow page->mapping.

The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.

In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.

The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.
