While "every 5 seconds" doesn't sound as a problem, there can be many
of these (and these timers do add up over all the kernel). The "5
second" wakeup isn't really timing sensitive; in addition even with
rounding it'll still happen every 5 seconds (with the exception of the
very first time, which is likely to be rounded up to somewhere closer
to 6 seconds)

are stored in the osd1.linux1.l_i_version field while the high 32 bits

The i_version field of the inode is changed to be a 64-bit counter that
is set on every inode creation and that is incremented every time the
inode data is modified (similarly to the "ctime" time-stamp).
The aim is to fulfill a NFSv4 requirement for rfc3530.
This first part concerns the vfs, it converts the 32-bit i_version in
the generic inode to a 64-bit, a flag is added in the super block in
order to check if the feature is enabled and the i_version is
incremented in the vfs.

The journal checksum feature adds two new flags i.e
JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT and JBD2_FEATURE_COMPAT_CHECKSUM.
JBD2_FEATURE_CHECKSUM flag indicates that the commit block contains the
checksum for the blocks described by the descriptor blocks.
Due to checksums, writing of the commit record no longer needs to be
synchronous. Now commit record can be sent to disk without waiting for
descriptor blocks to be written to disk. This behavior is controlled
using JBD2_FEATURE_ASYNC_COMMIT flag. Older kernels/e2fsck should not be
able to recover the journal with _ASYNC_COMMIT hence it is made
incompat.
The commit header has been extended to hold the checksum along with the
type of the checksum.
For recovery in pass scan checksums are verified to ensure the sanity
and completeness(in case of _ASYNC_COMMIT) of every transaction.

Before we start committing a transaction, we call
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back
buffers.
If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some
buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction
because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some
assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :).
We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a
transaction in T_FINISHED state. The locking there is subtle though (as
everywhere in JBD ;(). We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a
subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end
of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction
can get to T_FINISHED state.
Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary -
checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a
transaction must be already committed to be processed or from
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus
transaction cannot change state either. Better be safe if something
changes in future...

When mounting an ext4 filesystem with corrupted s_first_data_block, things
can go very wrong and oops.
Because blocks_count in ext4_fill_super is a u64, and we must use do_div,
the calculation of db_count is done differently than on ext4. If
first_data_block is corrupted such that it is larger than ext4_blocks_count,
for example, then the intermediate blocks_count value may go negative,
but sign-extend to a very large value:
blocks_count = (ext4_blocks_count(es) -
le32_to_cpu(es->s_first_data_block) +
EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) - 1);
This is then assigned to s_groups_count which is an unsigned long:
sbi->s_groups_count = blocks_count;
This may result in a value of 0xFFFFFFFF which is then used to compute
db_count:
db_count = (sbi->s_groups_count + EXT4_DESC_PER_BLOCK(sb) - 1) /
EXT4_DESC_PER_BLOCK(sb);
and in this case db_count will wind up as 0 because the addition overflows
32 bits. This in turn causes the kmalloc for group_desc to be of 0 size:
sbi->s_group_desc = kmalloc(db_count * sizeof (struct buffer_head *),
GFP_KERNEL);
and eventually in ext4_check_descriptors, dereferencing
sbi->s_group_desc[desc_block] will result in a NULL pointer dereference.
The simplest test seems to be to sanity check s_first_data_block,
EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP, and ext4_blocks_count values to be sure
their combination won't result in a bad intermediate value for
blocks_count. We could just check for db_count == 0, but
catching it at the root cause seems like it provides more info.

This patch set supports large block size(>4k, <=64k) in ext4,
just enlarging the block size limit. But it is NOT possible to have 64kB
blocksize on ext4 without some changes to the directory handling
code. The reason is that an empty 64kB directory block would have a
rec_len == (__u16)2^16 == 0, and this would cause an error to be hit in
the filesystem. The proposed solution is treat 64k rec_len
with a an impossible value like rec_len = 0xffff to handle this.
The Patch-set consists of the following 2 patches.
[1/2] ext4: enlarge blocksize
- Allow blocksize up to pagesize
[2/2] ext4: fix rec_len overflow
- prevent rec_len from overflow with 64KB blocksize
Now on 64k page ppc64 box runs with this patch set we could create a 64k

Currently you must be root to set idle io prio class on a process. This
is due to the fact that the idle class is implemented as a true idle
class, meaning that it will not make progress if someone else is
requesting disk access. Unfortunately this means that it opens DOS
opportunities by locking down file system resources, hence it is root
only at the moment.
This patch relaxes the idle class a little, by removing the truly idle
part (which entals a grace period with associated timer). The
modifications make the idle class as close to zero impact as can be done
while still guarenteeing progress. This means we can relax the root only
