jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() didn't get a reference to journal_head it
was working with. This is OK in most of the cases since the journal head
should be attached to a transaction but in rare occasions when we are
journalling data, __ext4_journalled_writepage() can race with
jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() stripping buffers from a page and thus
journal head can be freed under hands of jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata().
Fix the problem by getting own journal head reference in
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() (and also in jbd2_journal_set_triggers()
which can possibly have the same issue).

Track the delay between when we first request that the commit begin
and when it actually begins, so we can see how much of a gap exists.
In theory, this should just be the remaining scheduling quantuum of
the thread which requested the commit (assuming it was not a
synchronous operation which triggered the commit request) plus
scheduling overhead; however, it's possible that real time processes
might get in the way of letting the kjournald thread from executing.

We cannot wait for transaction commit in journal_unmap_buffer()
because we hold page lock which ranks below transaction start. We
solve the issue by bailing out of journal_unmap_buffer() and
jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() with -EBUSY. Caller is then responsible
for waiting for transaction commit to finish and try invalidation
again. Since the issue can happen only for page stradding i_size, it
is simple enough to manually call jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() for
such page from ext4_setattr(), check the return value and wait if
necessary.

ext4 users of data=journal mode with blocksize < pagesize were
occasionally hitting assertion failure in
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() checking whether the transaction has
at least as many credits reserved as buffers attached. The core of the
problem is that when a file gets truncated, buffers that still need
checkpointing or that are attached to the committing transaction are
left with buffer_mapped set. When this happens to buffers beyond i_size
attached to a page stradding i_size, subsequent write extending the file
will see these buffers and as they are mapped (but underlying blocks
were freed) things go awry from here.
The assertion failure just coincidentally (and in this case luckily as
we would start corrupting filesystem) triggers due to journal_head not
being properly cleaned up as well.
We fix the problem by unmapping buffers if possible (in lots of cases we
just need a buffer attached to a transaction as a place holder but it
must not be written out anyway). And in one case, we just have to bite
the bullet and wait for transaction commit to finish.

journal_unmap_buffer()'s zap_buffer: code clears a lot of buffer head
state ala discard_buffer(), but does not touch _Delay or _Unwritten as
discard_buffer() does.
This can be problematic in some areas of the ext4 code which assume
that if they have found a buffer marked unwritten or delay, then it's
a live one. Perhaps those spots should check whether it is mapped
as well, but if jbd2 is going to tear down a buffer, let's really
tear it down completely.
Without this I get some fsx failures on sub-page-block filesystems
up until v3.2, at which point 4e96b2dbbf
and 189e868fa8 make the failures go
away, because buried within that large change is some more flag
clearing. I still think it's worth doing in jbd2, since
->invalidatepage leads here directly, and it's the right place
to clear away these flags.

Add debugging information in case jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() is
called with a buffer_head which didn't have
jbd2_journal_get_write_access() called on it, or if the journal_head
has the wrong transaction in it. In addition, return an error code.
This won't change anything for ocfs2, which will BUG_ON() the non-zero
exit code.
For ext4, the caller of this function is ext4_handle_dirty_metadata(),
and on seeing a non-zero return code, will call __ext4_journal_stop(),
which will print the function and line number of the (buggy) calling
function and abort the journal. This will allow us to recover instead
of bug halting, which is better from a robustness and reliability
point of view.

jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() can oops when trying to access
journal_head returned by bh2jh(). This is caused for example by the
following race:
TASK1 TASK2
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction()
...
processing t_forget list
__jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(jh);
if (!jh->b_transaction) {
jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh);
jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers()
jbd2_journal_grab_journal_head(bh)
jbd_lock_bh_state(bh)
__journal_try_to_free_buffer()
jbd2_journal_put_journal_head(jh)
jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head(bh);
jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() in TASK2 sees that b_jcount == 0 and
buffer is not part of any transaction and thus frees journal_head
before TASK1 gets to doing so. Note that even buffer_head can be
released by try_to_free_buffers() after
jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() which adds even larger opportunity for
oops (but I didn't see this happen in reality).
Fix the problem by making transactions hold their own journal_head
reference (in b_jcount). That way we don't have to remove journal_head
explicitely via jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() and instead just
remove journal_head when b_jcount drops to zero. The result of this is
that [__]jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(),
[__]jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer(), and
__jdb2_journal_remove_checkpoint() can free journal_head which needs
modification of a few callers. Also we have to be careful because once
journal_head is removed, buffer_head might be freed as well. So we
have to get our own buffer_head reference where it matters.

In data=ordered mode, it's theoretically possible (however rare) that
an inode is filed to transaction's t_inode_list and a flusher thread
writes all the data and inode is reclaimed before the transaction
starts to commit. In such a case, we could erroneously omit sending a
flush to file system device when it is different from the journal
device (because data can still be in disk cache only).
Fix the problem by setting a flag in a transaction when some inode is added
to it and then send disk flush in the commit code when the flag is set.

t_max_wait is added in commit 8e85fb3f to indicate how long we
were waiting for new transaction to start. In commit 6d0bf005,
it is moved to another function named update_t_max_wait to
avoid a build warning. But the wrong thing is that the original
'ts' is initialized in the start of function start_this_handle
and we can calculate t_max_wait in the right way. while with
this change, ts is initialized within the function and t_max_wait
can never be calculated right.
This patch moves the initialization of ts to the original beginning
of start_this_handle and pass it to function update_t_max_wait so
that it can be calculated right and the build warning is avoided also.

On an SMP ARM system running ext4, I've received a report that the
first J_ASSERT in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction has been triggering:
J_ASSERT(journal->j_running_transaction != NULL);
While investigating possible causes for this problem, I noticed that
__jbd2_log_start_commit() is getting called with j_state_lock only
read-locked, in spite of the fact that it's possible for it might
j_commit_request. Fix this by grabbing the necessary information so
we can test to see if we need to start a new transaction before
dropping the read lock, and then calling jbd2_log_start_commit() which
will grab the write lock.

'buffer_head' should be 'journal_head'
This is a port of a patch which Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com> made
to fs/jbd to jbd2.

An attempt to modify the file system during the call to
jbd2_destroy_journal() can lead to a system lockup. So add some
checking to make it much more obvious when this happens to and to
determine where the offending code is located.

Fix up conflicts in fs/ext4/inode.c as per Ted.
Fix up xfs conflicts as per earlier xfs merge.
This should remove the last exclusive lock from start_this_handle(),
so that we should now be able to start multiple transactions at the
same time on large SMP systems.

Lockstat reports have shown that j_state_lock is a major source of
lock contention, especially on systems with more than 4 CPU cores. So
change it to be a read/write spinlock.

By using an atomic_t for t_updates and t_outstanding credits, this
should allow us to not need to take transaction t_handle_lock in
jbd2_journal_stop().

__GFP_NOFAIL is going away, so add our own retry loop. Also add
jbd2__journal_start() and jbd2__journal_restart() which take a gfp
mask, so that file systems can optionally (re)start transaction
handles using GFP_KERNEL. If they do this, then they need to be
prepared to handle receiving an PTR_ERR(-ENOMEM) error, and be ready
to reflect that error up to userspace.

OCFS2 uses t_commit trigger to compute and store checksum of the just
committed blocks. When a buffer has b_frozen_data, checksum is computed
for it instead of b_data but this can result in an old checksum being
written to the filesystem in the following scenario:
1) transaction1 is opened
2) handle1 is opened
3) journal_access(handle1, bh)
- This sets jh->b_transaction to transaction1
4) modify(bh)
5) journal_dirty(handle1, bh)
6) handle1 is closed
7) start committing transaction1, opening transaction2
8) handle2 is opened
9) journal_access(handle2, bh)
- This copies off b_frozen_data to make it safe for transaction1 to commit.
jh->b_next_transaction is set to transaction2.
10) jbd2_journal_write_metadata() checksums b_frozen_data
11) the journal correctly writes b_frozen_data to the disk journal
12) handle2 is closed
- There was no dirty call for the bh on handle2, so it is never queued for
any more journal operation
13) Checkpointing finally happens, and it just spools the bh via normal buffer
writeback. This will write b_data, which was never triggered on and thus
contains a wrong (old) checksum.
This patch fixes the problem by calling the trigger at the moment data is
frozen for journal commit - i.e., either when b_frozen_data is created by
do_get_write_access or just before we write a buffer to the log if
b_frozen_data does not exist. We also rename the trigger to t_frozen as
that better describes when it is called.

One of the most contended locks in the jbd2 layer is j_state_lock when
running dbench. This is especially true if using the real-time kernel
with its "sleeping spinlocks" patch that replaces spinlocks with
priority inheriting mutexes --- but it also shows up on large SMP
benchmarks.
Thanks to John Stultz for pointing this out.

Delay discarding buffers in journal_unmap_buffer until
we know that "add to orphan" operation has definitely been
committed, otherwise the log space of committing transation
may be freed and reused before truncate get committed, updates
may get lost if crash happens.

lockdep annotation for a transaction start has been at the end of
jbd2_journal_start(). But a transaction is also started from
jbd2_journal_restart(). Move the lockdep annotation to start_this_handle()
which covers both cases.

fix jiffie rounding in jbd commit timer setup code. Rounding down
could cause the timer to be fired before the corresponding transaction
has expired. That transaction can stay not committed forever if no
new transaction is created or expicit sync/umount happens.
