The code to read in directory blocks and verify their metadata
checksums was replicated in ten different places across
fs/ext4/namei.c, and the code was buggy in subtle ways in a number of
those replicated sites. In some cases, ext4_error() was called with a
training newline. In others, in particularly in empty_dir(), it was
possible to call ext4_dirent_csum_verify() on an index block, which
would trigger false warnings requesting the system adminsitrator to
run e2fsck.
By refactoring the code, we make the code more readable, as well as
shrinking the compiled object file by over 700 bytes and 50 lines of
code.

There are multiple reasons to move away from debugfs. First of all,
we are only using it for a single parameter, and it is much more
complicated to set up (some 30 lines of code compared to 3), and one
more thing that might fail while loading the jbd2 module.
Secondly, as a module paramter it can be specified as a boot option if
jbd2 is built into the kernel, or as a parameter when the module is
loaded, and it can also be manipulated dynamically under
/sys/module/jbd2/parameters/jbd2_debug. So it is more flexible.
Ultimately we want to move away from using jbd_debug() towards
tracepoints, but for now this is still a useful simplification of the
code base.

In ext4_{create,mknod,mkdir,symlink}(), don't start the journal handle
until the inode has been succesfully allocated. In order to do this,
we need to start the handle in the ext4_new_inode(). So create a new

can be created at the last possible minute, before we need to modify

Operations which modify extended attributes may need extra journal
credits if inline data is used, since there is a chance that some
extended attributes may need to get pushed to an external attribute
block.
Changes to reflect this was made in xattr.c, but they were missed in
fs/ext4/acl.c. To fix this, abstract the calculation of the number of
credits needed for xattr operations to an inline function defined in
ext4_jbd2.h, and use it in acl.c and xattr.c.
Also move the function declarations used in inline.c from xattr.h
(where they are non-obviously hidden, and caused problems since
ext4_jbd2.h needs to use the function ext4_has_inline_data), and move
them to ext4.h.

The ext4_unlink() and ext4_rmdir() don't actually release the blocks
associated with the file/directory. This gets done in a separate jbd2
handle called via ext4_evict_inode(). Thus, we don't need to reserve
lots of journal credits for the truncate.
Note that using too many journal credits is non-optimal because it can
leading to the journal transmit getting closed too early, before it is
strictly necessary.

The grab_cache_page_write_begin() function can potentially sleep for a
long time, since it may need to do memory allocation which can block
if the system is under significant memory pressure, and because it may
be blocked on page writeback. If it does take a long time to grab the
page, it's better that we not hold an active jbd2 handle.
So grab a handle on the page first, and _then_ start the transaction
handle.
This commit fixes the following long transaction handle hold time:
postmark-2917 [000] .... 196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32

So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for
long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass
context information for logging purposes.
The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is:
T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats
echo "interval > 5" > $EVENT/filter
echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
./run-my-fs-benchmark
cat $T/trace > /tmp/problem-handles
This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms. Having
longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong
time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an
fsync() or an O_SYNC operation. Here is an example line from the
trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over
1.2 seconds:
postmark-2917 [000] .... 196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32

Track the delay between when we first request that the commit begin

In theory, this should just be the remaining scheduling quantuum of

scheduling overhead; however, it's possible that real time processes

The ext4 block allocator only maintains buddy bitmaps for chunks which
are less than or equal to one quarter of a block group. That is, for
a file aystem with a 1k blocksize, and where the number of blocks in a
block group is 8192 blocks, the largest chunk size tracked by buddy
bitmaps is 2048 blocks.
For a file system with a 4k blocksize, and where the number of blocks
in a block group is 32768 blocks, the largest chunk size tracked by
buddy bitmaps is 8192 blocks.
To work around this code, mballoc.c before this commit would truncate
allocation requests to the number of blocks in a block group minus 10.
Why 10? Aside from being a completely arbitrary number, it avoids
block allocation to be a power of two larger than 25% of the block
group. If you try to explicitly fallocate 50% of the block group
size, this will demonstrate the problem; the block allocation code
will scan the all of the blocks in the file system with cr==0 (since
the request is for a natural power of two), but then completely fail
for all blocks groups, since the buddy bitmaps don't track chunk sizes
of 50% of the block group.
To fix this, in these we use ext4_mb_complex_scan_group() instead of
ext4_mb_simple_scan_group().
