Azat Khuzhin 007649375f ext4: initialize multi-block allocator before checking block descriptors
With EXT4FS_DEBUG ext4_count_free_clusters() will call
ext4_read_block_bitmap() without s_group_info initialized, so we need to
initialize multi-block allocator before.

And dependencies that must be solved, to allow this:
- multi-block allocator needs in group descriptors
- need to install s_op before initializing multi-block allocator,
  because in ext4_mb_init_backend() new inode is created.
- initialize number of group desc blocks (s_gdb_count) otherwise
  number of clusters returned by ext4_free_clusters_after_init() is not correct.
  (see ext4_bg_num_gdb_nometa())

Here is the stack backtrace:

Theodore Ts'o ed3654eb98 ext4: optimize Hurd tests when reading/writing inodes
Set a in-memory superblock flag to indicate whether the file system is
designed to support the Hurd.

Also, add a sanity check to make sure the 64-bit feature is not set
for Hurd file systems, since i_file_acl_high conflicts with a
Hurd-specific field.

T Makphaibulchoke 9c191f701c ext4: each filesystem creates and uses its own mb_cache
This patch adds new interfaces to create and destory cache,
ext4_xattr_create_cache() and ext4_xattr_destroy_cache(), and remove
the cache creation and destory calls from ex4_init_xattr() and
ext4_exitxattr() in fs/ext4/xattr.c.

fs/ext4/super.c has been changed so that when a filesystem is mounted
a cache is allocated and attched to its ext4_sb_info structure.

fs/mbcache.c has been changed so that only one slab allocator is
allocated and used by all mbcache structures.

Theodore Ts'o 02b9984d64 fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()
Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the
file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied,
unconditional syncfs().  This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly
documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful,
except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting
remounted read-only.

However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are
actually depending on this behavior.  In most file systems, it's
probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from
read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is
not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something
like romfs).

If an ext4 file system is created by some tool other than mke2fs

Jan Kara 30fac0f75d ext4: Do not reserve clusters when fs doesn't support extents
When the filesystem doesn't support extents (like in ext2/3
compatibility modes), there is no need to reserve any clusters. Space
estimates for writing are exact, hole punching doesn't need new
metadata, and there are no unwritten extents to convert.

This fixes a problem when filesystem still having some free space when
accessed with a native ext2/3 driver suddently reports ENOSPC when
accessed with ext4 driver.

That thing should be del_timer_sync(); consider what happens
if ext4_put_super() call of del_timer() happens to come just as it's
getting run on another CPU.  Since that timer reschedules itself
to run next day, you are pretty much guaranteed that you'll end up
with kfree'd scheduled timer, with usual fun consequences.  AFAICS,
that's -stable fodder all way back to 2010... [the second del_timer_sync()

In the case of a storage device that suddenly disappears, or in the
case of significant file system corruption, this can result in a huge
flood of messages being sent to the console.  This can overflow the
file system containing /var/log/messages, or if a serial console is
configured, this can slow down the system so much that a hardware
watchdog can end up triggering forcing a system reboot.

Christoph Hellwig 7b7a8665ed direct-io: Implement generic deferred AIO completions
Add support to the core direct-io code to defer AIO completions to user
context using a workqueue.  This replaces opencoded and less efficient
code in XFS and ext4 (we save a memory allocation for each direct IO)
and will be needed to properly support O_(D)SYNC for AIO.

The communication between the filesystem and the direct I/O code requires
a new buffer head flag, which is a bit ugly but not avoidable until the
direct I/O code stops abusing the buffer_head structure for communicating
with the filesystems.

Currently this creates a per-superblock unbound workqueue for these
completions, which is taken from an earlier patch by Jan Kara.  I'm
not really convinced about this use and would prefer a "normal" global
workqueue with a high concurrency limit, but this needs further discussion.

JK: Fixed ext4 part, dynamic allocation of the workqueue.

Eric Sandeen ad4eec6135 ext4: allow specifying external journal by pathname mount option
It's always been a hassle that if an external journal's
device number changes, the filesystem won't mount.
And since boot-time enumeration can change, device number
changes aren't unusual.

The current mechanism to update the journal location is by
passing in a mount option w/ a new devnum, but that's a hassle;
it's a manual approach, fixing things after the fact.

Adding a mount option, "-o journal_path=/dev/$DEVICE" would
help, since then we can do i.e.

# mount -o journal_path=/dev/disk/by-label/$JOURNAL_LABEL ...

and it'll mount even if the devnum has changed, as shown here:

# losetup /dev/loop0 journalfile
# mke2fs -L mylabel-journal -O journal_dev /dev/loop0 
# mkfs.ext4 -L mylabel -J device=/dev/loop0 /dev/sdb1

Change the journal device number:

# losetup -d /dev/loop0
# losetup /dev/loop1 journalfile 

And today it will fail:

# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

# dmesg | tail -n 1
[17343.240702] EXT4-fs (sdb1): error: couldn't read superblock of external journal

But with this new mount option, we can specify the new path:

# mount -o journal_path=/dev/loop1 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test
#

(which does update the encoded device number, incidentally):

# umount /dev/sdb1
# dumpe2fs -h /dev/sdb1 | grep "Journal device"
dumpe2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Journal device:	          0x0701

But best of all we can just always mount by journal-path, and
it'll always work:

# mount -o journal_path=/dev/disk/by-label/mylabel-journal /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test
#

So the journal_path option can be specified in fstab, and as long as
the disk is available somewhere, and findable by label (or by UUID),
we can mount.

Piotr Sarna 6ae6514b33 ext4: fix mount/remount error messages for incompatible mount options
Commit 5688978 ("ext4: improve handling of conflicting mount options")
introduced incorrect messages shown while choosing wrong mount options.

First of all, both cases of incorrect mount options,
"data=journal,delalloc" and "data=journal,dioread_nolock" result in
the same error message.

Secondly, the problem above isn't solved for remount option: the
mismatched parameter is simply ignored.  Moreover, ext4_msg states
that remount with options "data=journal,delalloc" succeeded, which is
not true.

To fix it up, I added a simple check after parse_options() call to
ensure that data=journal and delalloc/dioread_nolock parameters are
not present at the same time.

Zheng Liu d3922a777f ext4: improve extent cache shrink mechanism to avoid to burn CPU time
Now we maintain an proper in-order LRU list in ext4 to reclaim entries
from extent status tree when we are under heavy memory pressure.  For
keeping this order, a spin lock is used to protect this list.  But this
lock burns a lot of CPU time.  We can use the following steps to trigger
it.

  % cd /dev/shm
  % dd if=/dev/zero of=ext4-img bs=1M count=2k
  % mkfs.ext4 ext4-img
  % mount -t ext4 -o loop ext4-img /mnt
  % cd /mnt
  % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do truncate -s 64g $i; done
  % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do cp $i /dev/null &; done
  % perf record -a -g
  % perf report

This commit tries to fix this problem.  Now a new member called
i_touch_when is added into ext4_inode_info to record the last access
time for an inode.  Meanwhile we never need to keep a proper in-order
LRU list.  So this can avoid to burns some CPU time.  When we try to
reclaim some entries from extent status tree, we use list_sort() to get
a proper in-order list.  Then we traverse this list to discard some
entries.  In ext4_sb_info, we use s_es_last_sorted to record the last
time of sorting this list.  When we traverse the list, we skip the inode
that is newer than this time, and move this inode to the tail of LRU
list.  When the head of the list is newer than s_es_last_sorted, we will
sort the LRU list again.

In this commit, we break the loop if s_extent_cache_cnt == 0 because
that means that all extents in extent status tree have been reclaimed.

Meanwhile in this commit, ext4_es_{un}register_shrinker()'s prototype is
changed to save a local variable in these functions.

Lukas Czerner 27dd438542 ext4: introduce reserved space
Currently in ENOSPC condition when writing into unwritten space, or
punching a hole, we might need to split the extent and grow extent tree.
However since we can not allocate any new metadata blocks we'll have to
zero out unwritten part of extent or punched out part of extent, or in
the worst case return ENOSPC even though use actually does not allocate
any space.

Also in delalloc path we do reserve metadata and data blocks for the
time we're going to write out, however metadata block reservation is
very tricky especially since we expect that logical connectivity implies
physical connectivity, however that might not be the case and hence we
might end up allocating more metadata blocks than previously reserved.
So in future, metadata reservation checks should be removed since we can
not assure that we do not under reserve.

And this is where reserved space comes into the picture. When mounting
the file system we slice off a little bit of the file system space (2%
or 4096 clusters, whichever is smaller) which can be then used for the
cases mentioned above to prevent costly zeroout, or unexpected ENOSPC.

The number of reserved clusters can be set via sysfs, however it can
never be bigger than number of free clusters in the file system.

Note that this patch fixes the failure of xfstest 274 as expected.

Lukas Czerner 689110098c ext4: make ext4_block_in_group() much more efficient
Currently in when getting the block group number for a particular
block in ext4_block_in_group() we're using
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() which uses do_div() to get the block
group and the remainer which is offset within the group.

We don't need all of that in ext4_block_in_group() as we only need to
figure out the group number.

This commit changes ext4_block_in_group() to calculate group number
directly. This shows as a big improvement with regards to cpu
utilization. Measuring fallocate -l 15T on fresh file system with perf
showed that 23% of cpu time was spend in the
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset(). With this change it completely
disappears from the list only bumping the occurrence of
ext4_init_block_bitmap() which is the biggest user of
ext4_block_in_group() by 4%. As the result of this change on my system
the fallocate call was approx. 10% faster.

However since there is '-g' option in mkfs which allow us setting
different groups size (mostly for developers) I've introduced new per
file system flag whether we have a standard block group size or
not. The flag is used to determine whether we can use the bit shift
optimization or not.

Eric W. Biederman fa7614ddd6 fs: Readd the fs module aliases.
I had assumed that the only use of module aliases for filesystems
prior to "fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules."
was in request_module.  It turns out I was wrong.  At least mkinitcpio
in Arch linux uses these aliases.

So readd the preexising aliases, to keep from breaking userspace.

Userspace eventually will have to follow and use the same aliases the
kernel does.  So at some point we may be delete these aliases without
problems.  However that day is not today.

Theodore Ts'o 90ba983f68 ext4: use atomic64_t for the per-flexbg free_clusters count
A user who was using a 8TB+ file system and with a very large flexbg
size (> 65536) could cause the atomic_t used in the struct flex_groups
to overflow.  This was detected by PaX security patchset:

http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3289&p=12551#p12551

This bug was introduced in commit 9f24e4208f, so it's been around
since 2.6.30.  :-(

Fix this by using an atomic64_t for struct orlav_stats's
free_clusters.

Eric W. Biederman 7f78e03513 fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.
Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.

A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.

Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.

Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives.  Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.

This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work.  While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases.  The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.

This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.

After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module.  The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions.  In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted.  In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

Jan Kara 262b4662f4 ext4: don't allow quota mount options when quota feature enabled
So far we silently ignored when quota mount options were set while quota
feature was enabled.  But this can create confusion in userspace when
mount options are set but silently ignored and also creates opportunities
for bugs when we don't properly test all quota types.  Actually
ext4_mark_dquot_dirty() forgets to test for quota feature so it was
dependent on journaled quota options being set.  OTOH ext4_orphan_cleanup()
tries to enable journaled quota when quota options are specified which is
wrong when quota feature is enabled.
