Previously calls to dax_writeback_mapping_range() for all DAX filesystems
(ext2, ext4 & xfs) were centralized in filemap_write_and_wait_range().
dax_writeback_mapping_range() needs a struct block_device, and it used
to get that from inode->i_sb->s_bdev. This is correct for normal inodes
mounted on ext2, ext4 and XFS filesystems, but is incorrect for DAX raw
block devices and for XFS real-time files.
Instead, call dax_writeback_mapping_range() directly from the filesystem
->writepages function so that it can supply us with a valid block
device. This also fixes DAX code to properly flush caches in response
to sync(2).

When S_DAX is set on an inode we assume that if there are pages attached
to the mapping (mapping->nrpages != 0), those pages are clean zero pages
that were used to service reads from holes. Any dirty data associated
with the inode should be in the form of DAX exceptional entries
(mapping->nrexceptional) that is written back via
dax_writeback_mapping_range().
With the current code, though, this isn't always true. For example,
ext2 and ext4 directory inodes can have S_DAX set, but have their dirty
data stored as dirty page cache entries. For these types of inodes,
having S_DAX set doesn't really make sense since their I/O doesn't
actually happen through the DAX code path.
Instead, only allow S_DAX to be set for regular inodes for ext2 and
ext4. This allows us to have strict DAX vs non-DAX paths in the
writeback code.

Competing overwrite DIO in dioread_nolock mode will just overwrite
pointer to io_end in the inode. This may result in data corruption or
extent conversion happening from IO completion interrupt because we
don't properly set buffer_defer_completion() when unlocked DIO races
with locked DIO to unwritten extent.
Since unlocked DIO doesn't need io_end for anything, just avoid
allocating it and corrupting pointer from inode for locked DIO.
A cleaner fix would be to avoid these games with io_end pointer from the
inode but that requires more intrusive changes so we leave that for
later.

ext4 can update bh->b_state non-atomically in _ext4_get_block() and
ext4_da_get_block_prep(). Usually this is fine since bh is just a
temporary storage for mapping information on stack but in some cases it
can be fully living bh attached to a page. In such case non-atomic
update of bh->b_state can race with an atomic update which then gets
lost. Usually when we are mapping bh and thus updating bh->b_state
non-atomically, nobody else touches the bh and so things work out fine
but there is one case to especially worry about: ext4_finish_bio() uses
BH_Uptodate_Lock on the first bh in the page to synchronize handling of
PageWriteback state. So when blocksize < pagesize, we can be atomically
modifying bh->b_state of a buffer that actually isn't under IO and thus
can race e.g. with delalloc trying to map that buffer. The result is
that we can mistakenly set / clear BH_Uptodate_Lock bit resulting in the
corruption of PageWriteback state or missed unlock of BH_Uptodate_Lock.
Fix the problem by always updating bh->b_state bits atomically.

When dioread_nolock mode is enabled, we grab i_data_sem in
ext4_ext_direct_IO() and therefore we need to instruct _ext4_get_block()
not to grab i_data_sem again using EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_NO_LOCK. However
holding i_data_sem over overwrite direct IO isn't needed these days. We
have exclusion against truncate / hole punching because we increase
i_dio_count under i_mutex in ext4_ext_direct_IO() so once
ext4_file_write_iter() verifies blocks are allocated & written, they are
guaranteed to stay so during the whole direct IO even after we drop
i_mutex.
So we can just remove this locking abuse and the no longer necessary
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_NO_LOCK flag.

When doing delayed allocation, update of on-disk inode size is postponed
until IO submission time. However hole punch or zero range fallocate
calls can end up discarding the tail page cache page and thus on-disk
inode size would never be properly updated.
Make sure the on-disk inode size is updated before truncating page
cache.

Currently, page faults and hole punching are completely unsynchronized.
This can result in page fault faulting in a page into a range that we
are punching after truncate_pagecache_range() has been called and thus
we can end up with a page mapped to disk blocks that will be shortly
freed. Filesystem corruption will shortly follow. Note that the same
race is avoided for truncate by checking page fault offset against
i_size but there isn't similar mechanism available for punching holes.
Fix the problem by creating new rw semaphore i_mmap_sem in inode and
grab it for writing over truncate, hole punching, and other functions
removing blocks from extent tree and for read over page faults. We
cannot easily use i_data_sem for this since that ranks below transaction
start and we need something ranking above it so that it can be held over
the whole truncate / hole punching operation. Also remove various
workarounds we had in the code to reduce race window when page fault
could have created pages with stale mapping information.

If there is a error while copying data from userspace into the page
cache during a write(2) system call, in data=journal mode, in
ext4_journalled_write_end() were using page_zero_new_buffers() from
fs/buffer.c. Unfortunately, this sets the buffer dirty flag, which is
no good if journalling is enabled. This is a long-standing bug that
goes back for years and years in ext3, but a combination of (a)
data=journal not being very common, (b) in many case it only results
in a warning message. and (c) only very rarely causes the kernel hang,
means that we only really noticed this as a problem when commit
998ef75ddb caused this failure to happen frequently enough to cause
generic/208 to fail when run in data=journal mode.
The fix is to have our own version of this function that doesn't call
mark_dirty_buffer(), since we will end up calling
ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() on the buffer head(s) in questions very
shortly afterwards in ext4_journalled_write_end().

root cause of the problem.

either has the unwritten bit set in the extent tree, or which does not
yet have a block assigned due to delayed allocation, we can bail out

DAX wants different semantics from any currently-existing ext4 get_block
callback. Unlike ext4_get_block_write(), it needs to honour the
'create' flag, and unlike ext4_get_block(), it needs to be able to
return unwritten extents. So introduce a new ext4_get_block_dax() which
has those semantics.
We could also change ext4_get_block_write() to honour the 'create' flag,
but that might have consequences on other users that I do not currently

On delalloc enabled file system on invalidatepage operation
in ext4_da_page_release_reservation() we want to clear the delayed
buffer and remove the extent covering the delayed buffer from the extent
status tree.
However currently there is a bug where on the systems with page size >
block size we will always remove extents from the start of the page
regardless where the actual delayed buffers are positioned in the page.
This leads to the errors like this:
EXT4-fs warning (device loop0): ext4_da_release_space:1225:
ext4_da_release_space: ino 13, to_free 1 with only 0 reserved data
blocks
This however can cause data loss on writeback time if the file system is
in ENOSPC condition because we're releasing reservation for someones
else delayed buffer.
Fix this by only removing extents that corresponds to the part of the
page we want to invalidate.
This problem is reproducible by the following fio receipt (however I was
only able to reproduce it with fio-2.1 or older.

Pul xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
"There's a couple of small API changes to the core DAX code which
required small changes to the ext2 and ext4 code bases, but otherwise
everything is within the XFS codebase.
This update contains:
- A new sparse on-disk inode record format to allow small extents to
be used for inode allocation when free space is fragmented.
- DAX support. This includes minor changes to the DAX core code to
fix problems with lock ordering and bufferhead mapping abuse.
- transaction commit interface cleanup
- removal of various unnecessary XFS specific type definitions
- cleanup and optimisation of freelist preparation before allocation
- various minor cleanups
- bug fixes for
- transaction reservation leaks
- incorrect inode logging in unwritten extent conversion
- mmap lock vs freeze ordering
- remote symlink mishandling
- attribute fork removal issues"

ext4_quota_write() fails with ENOSPC, we make two changes. The quota
file can now use the reserved block (since the quota file is arguably
file system metadata), and ext4_quota_write() now uses
ext4_should_retry_alloc() to retry the block allocation after a commit
has completed and released some blocks for allocation.

The commit cf108bca465d: "ext4: Invert the locking order of page_lock
and transaction start" caused __ext4_journalled_writepage() to drop
the page lock before the page was written back, as part of changing
the locking order to jbd2_journal_start -> page_lock. However, this
introduced a potential race if there was a truncate racing with the
data=journalled writeback mode.
Fix this by grabbing the page lock after starting the journal handle,
and then checking to see if page had gotten truncated out from under
us.
This fixes a number of different warnings or BUG_ON's when running
xfstests generic/086 in data=journalled mode, including:
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata: vdc-8: bad jh for block 115643: transaction (ee3fe7

dax_fault() currently relies on the get_block callback to attach an
io completion callback to the mapping buffer head so that it can
run unwritten extent conversion after zeroing allocated blocks.
Instead of this hack, pass the conversion callback directly into
dax_fault() similar to the get_block callback. When the filesystem
allocates unwritten extents, it will set the buffer_unwritten()
flag, and hence the dax_fault code can call the completion function
in the contexts where it is necessary without overloading the
mapping buffer head.
Note: The changes to ext4 to use this interface are suspect at best.
In fact, the way ext4 did this end_io assignment in the first place
looks suspect because it only set a completion callback when there
wasn't already some other write() call taking place on the same
inode. The ext4 end_io code looks rather intricate and fragile with
all it's reference counting and passing to different contexts for
modification via inode private pointers that aren't protected by
locks...

"Some miscellaneous bug fixes and some final on-disk and ABI changes
for ext4 encryption which provide better security and performance"
* tag 'for_linus_stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4:
ext4: fix growing of tiny filesystems
ext4: move check under lock scope to close a race.
ext4: fix data corruption caused by unwritten and delayed extents
ext4 crypto: remove duplicated encryption mode definitions
ext4 crypto: do not select from EXT4_FS_ENCRYPTION
ext4 crypto: add padding to filenames before encrypting
ext4 crypto: simplify and speed up filename encryption
Currently it is possible to lose whole file system block worth of data
when we hit the specific interaction with unwritten and delayed extents
in status extent tree.
The problem is that when we insert delayed extent into extent status
tree the only way to get rid of it is when we write out delayed buffer.
However there is a limitation in the extent status tree implementation
so that when inserting unwritten extent should there be even a single
delayed block the whole unwritten extent would be marked as delayed.
At this point, there is no way to get rid of the delayed extents,
because there are no delayed buffers to write out. So when a we write
into said unwritten extent we will convert it to written, but it still
remains delayed.
When we try to write into that block later ext4_da_map_blocks() will set
the buffer new and delayed and map it to invalid block which causes
the rest of the block to be zeroed loosing already written data.
For now we can fix this by simply not allowing to set delayed status on
written extent in the extent status tree. Also add WARN_ON() to make
sure that we notice if this happens in the future.
This problem can be easily reproduced by running the following xfs_io.
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 4096 2048" \
-c "falloc 0 131072" \
-c "pwrite -S 0xbb 65536 2048" \
-c "fsync" /mnt/test/fff
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xdd 67584 2048" /mnt/test/fff
This can be theoretically also reproduced by at random by running fsx,
but it's not very reliable, though on machines with bigger page size
(like ppc) this can be seen more often (especially xfstest generic/127)

The original dax patchset split the ext2/4_file_operations because of the
two NULL splice_read/splice_write in the dax case.
In the vfs if splice_read/splice_write are NULL we then call
default_splice_read/write.
What we do here is make generic_file_splice_read aware of IS_DAX() so the
original ext2/4_file_operations can be used as is.
For write it appears that iter_file_splice_write is just fine. It uses
the regular f_op->write(file,..) or new_sync_write(file, ...).
