When ext4_handle_dirty_dx_node() or ext4_handle_dirty_dirent_node()
fail, there's really something wrong with the fs and there's no point in
continuing further. Just return error from make_indexed_dir() in that
case. Also initialize frames array so that if we return early due to
error, dx_release() doesn't try to dereference uninitialized memory
(which could happen also due to error in do_split()).

If there is a corrupted file system which has directory entries that
point at reserved, metadata inodes, prohibit them from being used by
treating them the same way we treat Boot Loader inodes --- that is,
mark them to be bad inodes. This prohibits them from being opened,
deleted, or modified via chmod, chown, utimes, etc.
In particular, this prevents a corrupted file system which has a
directory entry which points at the journal inode from being deleted
and its blocks released, after which point Much Hilarity Ensues.

The boot loader inode (inode #5) should never be visible in the
directory hierarchy, but it's possible if the file system is corrupted
that there will be a directory entry that points at inode #5. In
order to avoid accidentally trashing it, when such a directory inode
is opened, the inode will be marked as a bad inode, so that it's not
possible to modify (or read) the inode from userspace.
Unfortunately, when we unlink this (invalid/illegal) directory entry,
we will put the bad inode on the ophan list, and then when try to
unlink the directory, we don't actually remove the bad inode from the
orphan list before freeing in-memory inode structure. This means the
in-memory orphan list is corrupted, leading to a kernel oops.
In addition, avoid truncating a bad inode in ext4_destroy_inode(),
since truncating the boot loader inode is not a smart thing to do.

When performing a same-directory rename, it's possible that adding or
setting the new directory entry will cause the directory to overflow
the inline data area, which causes the directory to be converted to an
extent-based directory. Under this circumstance it is necessary to
re-read the directory when deleting the old dirent because the "old
directory" context still points to i_block in the inode table, which
is now an extent tree root! The delete fails with an FS error, and
the subsequent fsck complains about incorrect link counts and
hardlinked directories.

test program):
# mkfs.ext4 -O inline_data /dev/sda

If we run into some kind of error, such as ENOMEM, while calling
ext4_getblk() or ext4_dx_find_entry(), we need to make sure this error
gets propagated up to ext4_find_entry() and then to its callers. This
way, transient errors such as ENOMEM can get propagated to the VFS.
This is important so that the system calls return the appropriate
error, and also so that in the case of ext4_lookup(), we return an
error instead of a NULL inode, since that will result in a negative
dentry cache entry that will stick around long past the OOM condition
which caused a transient ENOMEM error.

If this flag is specified and the target of the rename exists then the
rename syscall fails with EEXIST.
The VFS does the existence checking, so it is trivial to enable for most
local filesystems. This patch only enables it in ext4.
For network filesystems the VFS check is not enough as there may be a race
between a remote create and the rename, so these filesystems need to handle
this flag in their ->rename() implementations to ensure atomicity.
Andy writes about why this is useful:
"The trivial answer: to eliminate the race condition from 'mv -i'.
Another answer: there's a common pattern to atomically create a file
with contents: open a temporary file, write to it, optionally fsync
it, close it, then link(2) it to the final name, then unlink the
temporary file.
The reason to use link(2) is because it won't silently clobber the destination.
This is annoying:
- It requires an extra system call that shouldn't be necessary.
- It doesn't work on (IMO sensible) filesystems that don't support
hard links (e.g. vfat).
- It's not atomic -- there's an intermediate state where both files exist.
- It's ugly.
The new rename flag will make this totally sensible.
To be fair, on new enough kernels, you can also use O_TMPFILE and
linkat to achieve the same thing even more cleanly."

When ext4_rename() overwrites an already existing file, call
ext4_alloc_da_blocks() before starting the journal handle which
actually does the rename, instead of doing this afterwards. This
improves the likelihood that the contents will survive a crash if an
application replaces a file using the sequence:
1) write replacement contents to foo.new
2) <omit fsync of foo.new>
3) rename foo.new to foo
It is still not a guarantee, since ext4_alloc_da_blocks() is *not*
doing a file integrity sync; this means if foo.new is a very large
file, it may not be completely flushed out to disk.
However, for files smaller than a megabyte or so, any dirty pages
should be flushed out before we do the rename operation, and so at the
next journal commit, the CACHE FLUSH command will make sure al of
these pages are safely on the disk platter.

Zach reported a problem that if inline data is enabled, we don't
tell the difference between the offset of '.' and '..'. And a
getdents will fail if the user only want to get '.' and what's worse,
if there is a conversion happens when the user calls getdents
many times, he/she may get the same entry twice.
In theory, a dir block would also fail if it is converted to a
hashed-index based dir since f_pos will become a hash value, not the
real one, but it doesn't happen. And a deep investigation shows that
we uses a hash based solution even for a normal dir if the dir_index
feature is enabled.
So this patch just adds a new htree_inlinedir_to_tree for inline dir,
and if we find that the hash index is supported, we will do like what
we do for a dir block.

Inode allocation transaction is pretty heavy (246 credits with quotas
and extents before previous patch, still around 200 after it). This is
mostly due to credits required for allocation of quota structures
(credits there are heavily overestimated but it's difficult to make
better estimates if we don't want to wire non-trivial assumptions about
quota format into filesystem).
So move quota initialization out of allocation transaction. That way
transaction for quota structure allocation will be started only if we
need to look up quota structure on disk (rare) and furthermore it will
be started for each quota type separately, not for all of them at once.
This reduces maximum transaction size to 34 is most cases and to 73 in
the worst case.
[ Modified by tytso to clean up the cleanup paths for error handling.
Also use a separate call to ext4_std_error() for each failure so it
is easier for someone who is debugging a problem in this function to
determine which function call failed. ]

ext4: use module parameters instead of debugfs for mballoc_debug
ext4: start handle at the last possible moment when creating inodes
ext4: fix the number of credits needed for acl ops with inline data
...
Use ERR_PTR()/IS_ERR() abstraction instead of passing in a separate
pointer to an integer for the error code, as a code cleanup.

The code to read in directory blocks and verify their metadata
checksums was replicated in ten different places across
fs/ext4/namei.c, and the code was buggy in subtle ways in a number of
those replicated sites. In some cases, ext4_error() was called with a
training newline. In others, in particularly in empty_dir(), it was
possible to call ext4_dirent_csum_verify() on an index block, which
would trigger false warnings requesting the system adminsitrator to
run e2fsck.
By refactoring the code, we make the code more readable, as well as
shrinking the compiled object file by over 700 bytes and 50 lines of
code.

In ext4_{create,mknod,mkdir,symlink}(), don't start the journal handle
until the inode has been succesfully allocated. In order to do this,
we need to start the handle in the ext4_new_inode(). So create a new
variant of this function, ext4_new_inode_start_handle(), so the handle
can be created at the last possible minute, before we need to modify
the inode allocation bitmap block.

The ext4_unlink() and ext4_rmdir() don't actually release the blocks
associated with the file/directory. This gets done in a separate jbd2
handle called via ext4_evict_inode(). Thus, we don't need to reserve
lots of journal credits for the truncate.
Note that using too many journal credits is non-optimal because it can
leading to the journal transmit getting closed too early, before it is
strictly necessary.

Don't start the jbd2 transaction handle until after the directory
entry has been found, to minimize the amount of time that a handle is
held active.

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:
postmark-2917 [000] .... 196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32
tid 570 type 2 line_no 2541 interval 311 sync 0 requested_blocks 1
dirtied_blocks 0
