We can create 4402345721856 byte file with indirect block mapping.
However, if we grow an indirect-block file to the size with ftruncate(),
we can see an ext4 warning. The following patch fixes this problem.
How to reproduce:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/hoge bs=1 count=0 seek=4402345721856
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.000221428 s, 0.0 kB/s

ext4 has taken the stance that, in the absence of a journal,
when an fsync/fdatasync of an inode is done, the parent
directory should be sync'ed if this inode entry is new.
ext4_sync_parent(), which implements this, does indeed sync
the dirent pages for parent directories, but it does not
sync the directory *inode*. This patch fixes this.
Also now return error status from ext4_sync_parent().
I tested this using a power fail test, which panics a
machine running a file server getting requests from a
client. Without this patch, on about every other test run,
the server is missing many, many files that had been synced.
With this patch, on > 6 runs, I see zero files being lost.

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.

In ext4_register_li_request, we malloc a ext4_li_request and
inserts it into ext4_li_info->li_request_list. In case of any
error later, we free it in the end. But if we have some error
in ext4_run_lazyinit_thread, the whole li_request_list will be
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.

It is not necessary to update [cm]time of quota file on each quota
file write and it wastes journal space and IO throughput with inode
writes. So just remove the updating from ext4_quota_write() and only
update times when quotas are being turned off. Userspace cannot get
anything reliable from quota files while they are used by the kernel
anyway.

When allocating a new inode, we need to make sure i_sync_tid and
i_datasync_tid are initialized. Otherwise, one or both of these two
values could be left initialized to zero, which could potentially
result in BUG_ON in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction.
(This could happen by having journal->commit_request getting set to
zero, which could wake up the kjournald process even though there is
no running transaction, which then causes a BUG_ON via the
J_ASSERT(j_ruinning_transaction != NULL) statement.

If no extent conversion is required, wake up any processes waiting for
the page's writeback to be complete and free the ext4_io_end structure
directly in ext4_end_bio() instead of dropping it on the linked list
(which requires taking a spinlock to queue and dequeue the io_end
structure), and waiting for the workqueue to do this work.
This removes an extra scheduling delay before process waiting for an
fsync() to complete gets woken up, and it also reduces the CPU
overhead for a random write workload.

In ext4_bio_write_page(), if the memory allocation for the struct
ext4_io_page fails, it returns with the page's PageWriteback flag set.
This will end up causing the page not to skip writeback in
WB_SYNC_NONE mode, and in WB_SYNC_ALL mode (i.e., on a sync, fsync, or
umount) the writeback daemon will get stuck forever on the
wait_on_page_writeback() function in write_cache_pages_da().
Or, if journalling is enabled and the file gets deleted, it the
journal thread can get stuck in journal_finish_inode_data_buffers()
call to filemap_fdatawait().
Another place where things can get hung up is in
truncate_inode_pages(), called out of ext4_evict_inode().
Fix this by not setting PageWriteback until after we have successfully
allocated the struct ext4_io_page.

If we have accumulated a contiguous region of memory to be written
out, and the next page can added to this region, don't bother locking
(and then unlocking the page) before writing out the memory. In the
unlikely event that the next page was being written back by some other
CPU, we can also skip waiting that page to finish writeback.

Because the ext4 page writeback codepath had been prematurely calling
clear_page_dirty_for_io(), if it turned out that a particular page
couldn't be written out during a particular pass of
write_cache_pages_da(), the page would have to get redirtied by
calling redirty_pages_for_writeback(). Not only was this wasted work,
but redirty_page_for_writeback() would increment wbc->pages_skipped to
signal to writeback_sb_inodes() that buffers were locked, and that it
should skip this inode until later.
Since this signal was incorrect in ext4's case --- which was caused by
ext4's historically incorrect use of write_cache_pages() ---
ext4_da_writepages() saved and restored wbc->skipped_pages to avoid
confusing writeback_sb_inodes().
Now that we've fixed ext4 to call clear_page_dirty_for_io() right
before initiating the page I/O, we can nuke the page_skipped
save/restore hackery, and breathe a sigh of relief.

This will give us opportunities to clean up and simplify the resulting
code.

Now that we've fixed the file corruption bug in commit d50bdd5aa5,
it's time to enable mblk_io_submit by default.

If ext4_da_block_invalidatepages() is called because of a
failure from ext4_map_blocks() in mpage_da_map_and_submit(),
it's supposed to clean up -- including unlock -- all the
pages in the mpd structure. But these values may not match
up, even on a system in which block size == page size:
mpd->b_blocknr != mpd->first_page
mpd->b_size != (mpd->next_page - mpd->first_page)
ext4_da_block_invalidatepages() has been using b_blocknr and
b_size; this patch changes it to use first_page and
next_page.
Tested: I injected a small number (5%) of failures in
ext4_map_blocks() in the case that the flags contain
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE, and ran fsstress on this
kernel. Without this patch, I got hung tasks every time.
With this patch, I see no hangs in many runs of fsstress.

In mpage_da_map_and_submit(), if we have a delayed block
allocation failure from ext4_map_blocks(), we need to mark
the IO as complete, by setting
mpd->io_done = 1;
Otherwise, we could end up submitting the pages in an outer
loop; since they are unlocked on mapping failure in
ext4_da_block_invalidatepages(), this will cause a bug check
in mpage_da_submit_io().
I tested this by injected failures into ext4_map_blocks().
Without this patch, a simple fsstress run will bug check;
with the patch, it works fine.
