In the scenario of writing sparse files, the per-inode prealloc list may
be very long, resulting in high overhead for ext4_mb_use_preallocated().
To circumvent this problem, we limit the maximum length of per-inode
prealloc list to 512 and allow users to modify it.
After patching, we observed that the sys ratio of cpu has dropped, and
the system throughput has increased significantly. We created a process
to write the sparse file, and the running time of the process on the
fixed kernel was significantly reduced, as follows:
Running time on unfixed kernel：
[root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat
real 0m2.051s
user 0m0.008s
sys 0m2.026s
Running time on fixed kernel：
[root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat
real 0m0.471s
user 0m0.004s
sys 0m0.395s

Currently, system zones just track ranges of block, that are "important"
fs metadata (bitmaps, group descriptors, journal blocks, etc.). This
however complicates how extent tree (or indirect blocks) can be checked
for inodes that actually track such metadata - currently the journal
inode but arguably we should be treating quota files or resize inode
similarly. We cannot run __ext4_ext_check() on such metadata inodes when
loading their extents as that would immediately trigger the validity
checks and so we just hack around that and special-case the journal
inode. This however leads to a situation that a journal inode which has
extent tree of depth at least one can have invalid extent tree that gets
unnoticed until ext4_cache_extents() crashes.
To overcome this limitation, track inode number each system zone belongs
to (0 is used for zones not belonging to any inode). We can then verify
inode number matches the expected one when verifying extent tree and
thus avoid the false errors. With this there's no need to to
special-case journal inode during extent tree checking anymore so remove
it.

Fix the bug when calculating the physical block number of the first
block in the split extent.
This bug will cause xfstests shared/298 failure on ext4 with bigalloc
enabled occasionally. Ext4 error messages indicate that previously freed
blocks are being freed again, and the following fsck will fail due to
the inconsistency of block bitmap and bg descriptor.
The following is an example case:
1. First, Initialize a ext4 filesystem with cluster size '16K', block size
'4K', in which case, one cluster contains four blocks.
2. Create one file (e.g., xxx.img) on this ext4 filesystem. Now the extent
tree of this file is like:
...
36864:[0]4:220160
36868:[0]14332:145408
51200:[0]2:231424
...
3. Then execute PUNCH_HOLE fallocate on this file. The hole range is
like:
..
ext4_ext_remove_space: dev 254,16 ino 12 since 49506 end 49506 depth 1
ext4_ext_remove_space: dev 254,16 ino 12 since 49544 end 49546 depth 1
ext4_ext_remove_space: dev 254,16 ino 12 since 49605 end 49607 depth 1
...
4. Then the extent tree of this file after punching is like
...
49507:[0]37:158047
49547:[0]58:158087
...
5. Detailed procedure of punching hole [49544, 49546]
5.1. The block address space:
```
lblk ~49505 49506 49507~49543 49544~49546 49547~
---------+------+-------------+----------------+--------
extent | hole | extent | hole | extent
---------+------+-------------+----------------+--------
pblk ~158045 158046 158047~158083 158084~158086 158087~
```
5.2. The detailed layout of cluster 39521:
```
cluster 39521
<------------------------------->
hole extent
<----------------------><--------
lblk 49544 49545 49546 49547
+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| | | | |
+-------+-------+-------+-------+
pblk 158084 1580845 158086 158087
```
5.3. The ftrace output when punching hole [49544, 49546]:
- ext4_ext_remove_space (start 49544, end 49546)
- ext4_ext_rm_leaf (start 49544, end 49546, last_extent [49507(158047), 40], partial [pclu 39522 lblk 0 state 2])
- ext4_remove_blocks (extent [49507(158047), 40], from 49544 to 49546, partial [pclu 39522 lblk 0 state 2]
- ext4_free_blocks: (block 158084 count 4)
- ext4_mballoc_free (extent 1/6753/1)
5.4. Ext4 error message in dmesg:
EXT4-fs error (device vdb): mb_free_blocks:1457: group 1, block 158084:freeing already freed block (bit 6753); block bitmap corrupt.
EXT4-fs error (device vdb): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:747: group 1, block bitmap and bg descriptor inconsistent: 19550 vs 19551 free clusters
In this case, the whole cluster 39521 is freed mistakenly when freeing
pblock 158084~158086 (i.e., the first three blocks of this cluster),
although pblock 158087 (the last remaining block of this cluster) has
not been freed yet.
The root cause of this isuue is that, the pclu of the partial cluster is
calculated mistakenly in ext4_ext_remove_space(). The correct
partial_cluster.pclu (i.e., the cluster number of the first block in the
next extent, that is, lblock 49597 (pblock 158086)) should be 39521 rather
than 39522.

Don't ignore return values from ext4_ext_dirty, since the errors

way. This patch makes those remaining couple of places to handle

ignorance of return value is intentional. The reason is that we are

One of the possible scnearios when this bug could affected is that

EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize which is the current inode size on disk.
That's what e2fsck is going to see in case of crash before all dirty

clearly conveys the idea that newly allocated blocks should be freed
when recovering from an extent insertion failure. The error handling
code itself should be restructured so that it errors out immediately on
an insertion failure in the case where no new blocks have been allocated

The EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL inode flag is used to indicate whether a file
contains unwritten blocks past i_size. It's set when ext4_fallocate
is called with the KEEP_SIZE flag to extend a file with an unwritten
extent. However, this flag hasn't been useful functionally since
March, 2012, when a decision was made to remove it from ext4.
All traces of EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL were removed from e2fsprogs version
1.42.2 by commit 010dc7b90d97 ("e2fsck: remove EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL flag
handling") at that time. Now that enough time has passed to make
e2fsprogs versions containing this modification common, this patch now
removes the code associated with EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL from the kernel as
well.
This change has two implications. First, because pre-1.42.2 e2fsck
versions only look for a problem if EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL is set, and
because that bit will never be set by newer kernels containing this
patch, old versions of e2fsck won't have a compatibility problem with
files created by newer kernels.
Second, newer kernels will not clear EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL inode flag bits
belonging to a file written by an older kernel. If set, it will remain
in that state until the file is deleted. Because e2fsck versions since
1.42.2 don't check the flag at all, no adverse effect is expected.
However, pre-1.42.2 e2fsck versions that do check the flag may report
that it is set when it ought not to be after a file has been truncated
or had its unwritten blocks written. In this case, the old version of
e2fsck will offer to clear the flag. No adverse effect would then
occur whether the user chooses to clear the flag or not.

Extents are cached in read_extent_tree_block(); as a result, extents
are not cached for inodes with depth == 0 when we try to find the
extent using ext4_find_extent(). The result of the lookup is cached
in ext4_map_blocks() but is only a subset of the extent on disk. As a

ext4_fallocate() is only used in the file_operations for regular files.
Also, the VFS only allows fallocate() on regular files and block
devices, but block devices always use blkdev_fallocate(). For both of
these reasons, S_ISREG() is always true in ext4_fallocate().
Therefore the S_ISREG() checks in ext4_zero_range(),
ext4_collapse_range(), ext4_insert_range(), and ext4_punch_hole() are
redundant. Remove them.

- Fix some comments.
- Consistently access i_size directly rather than using i_size_read(),
since in all relevant cases we're under inode_lock().
- Simplify the alignment checks by using the IS_ALIGNED() macro.
- In ext4_insert_range(), do the check against s_maxbytes in a way
that is safe against signed overflow. (This doesn't currently matter
for ext4 due to ext4's limited max file size, but this is something
other filesystems have gotten wrong. We might as well do it safely.)

For encrypted files, commit 36086d43f6 ("ext4 crypto: fix bugs in
ext4_encrypted_zeroout()") disabled the optimization where when a write
occurs to the middle of an unwritten extent, the head and/or tail of the
extent (when they aren't too large) are zeroed out, turned into an
initialized extent, and merged with the part being written to. This
optimization helps prevent fragmentation of the extent tree.
However, disabling this optimization also made fscrypt_zeroout_range()
nearly impossible to test, as now it's only reachable via the very rare
case in ext4_split_extent_at() where allocating a new extent tree block
fails due to ENOSPC. 'gce-xfstests -c ext4/encrypt -g auto' doesn't
even hit this at all.
It's preferable to avoid really rare cases that are hard to test.
That commit also cited data corruption in xfstest generic/127 as a
reason to disable the extent zeroout optimization, but that's no longer
reproducible anymore. It also cited fscrypt_zeroout_range() having poor
performance, but I've written a patch to fix that.
Therefore, re-enable the extent zeroout optimization on encrypted files.

When ext4 encryption support was first added, ZERO_RANGE was disallowed,
supposedly because test failures (e.g. ext4/001) were seen when enabling
it, and at the time there wasn't enough time/interest to debug it.
However, there's actually no reason why ZERO_RANGE can't work on
encrypted files. And it fact it *does* work now. Whole blocks in the
zeroed range are converted to unwritten extents, as usual; encryption
makes no difference for that part. Partial blocks are zeroed in the
pagecache and then ->writepages() encrypts those blocks as usual.
ext4_block_zero_page_range() handles reading and decrypting the block if
needed before actually doing the pagecache write.
Also, f2fs has always supported ZERO_RANGE on encrypted files.
As far as I can tell, the reason that ext4/001 was failing in v4.1 was
actually because of one of the bugs fixed by commit 36086d43f6 ("ext4
crypto: fix bugs in ext4_encrypted_zeroout()"). The bug made
ext4_encrypted_zeroout() always return a positive value, which caused
unwritten extents in encrypted files to sometimes not be marked as
initialized after being written to. This bug was not actually in
ZERO_RANGE; it just happened to trigger during the extents manipulation
done in ext4/001 (and probably other tests too).
So, let's enable ZERO_RANGE on encrypted files on ext4.
Tested with:
gce-xfstests -c ext4/encrypt -g auto
gce-xfstests -c ext4/encrypt_1k -g auto
Got the same set of test failures both with and without this patch.
But with this patch 6 fewer tests are skipped: ext4/001, generic/008,
generic/009, generic/033, generic/096, and generic/511.

This allows the cause of an ext4_error() report to be categorized
based on whether it was triggered due to an I/O error, or an memory
allocation error, or other possible causes. Most errors are caused by
a detected file system inconsistency, so the default code stored in
the superblock will be EXT4_ERR_EFSCORRUPTED.

So far we have reserved only relatively high fixed amount of revoke
credits for each transaction. We over-reserved by large amount for most
cases but when freeing large directories or files with data journalling,
the fixed amount is not enough. In fact the worst case estimate is
inconveniently large (maximum extent size) for freeing of one extent.
We fix this by doing proper estimate of the amount of blocks that need
to be revoked when removing blocks from the inode due to truncate or
hole punching and otherwise reserve just a small amount of revoke
credits for each transaction to accommodate freeing of xattrs block or
so.

This patch introduces a new direct I/O write path which makes use of
the iomap infrastructure.
All direct I/O writes are now passed from the ->write_iter() callback
through to the new direct I/O handler ext4_dio_write_iter(). This
function is responsible for calling into the iomap infrastructure via
iomap_dio_rw().
Code snippets from the existing direct I/O write code within
ext4_file_write_iter() such as, checking whether the I/O request is
unaligned asynchronous I/O, or whether the write will result in an
overwrite have effectively been moved out and into the new direct I/O
->write_iter() handler.
The block mapping flags that are eventually passed down to
ext4_map_blocks() from the *_get_block_*() suite of routines have been
taken out and introduced within ext4_iomap_alloc().
For inode extension cases, ext4_handle_inode_extension() is
effectively the function responsible for performing such metadata
updates. This is called after iomap_dio_rw() has returned so that we
can safely determine whether we need to potentially truncate any
allocated blocks that may have been prepared for this direct I/O
write. We don't perform the inode extension, or truncate operations
from the ->end_io() handler as we don't have the original I/O 'length'
available there. The ->end_io() however is responsible fo converting
allocated unwritten extents to written extents.
In the instance of a short write, we fallback and complete the
remainder of the I/O using buffered I/O via
ext4_buffered_write_iter().
The existing buffer_head direct I/O implementation has been removed as
it's now redundant.
