2011-10-18ext4: Fix comparison endianness problem in MMP initializationDarrick J. Wong
As part of startup, the MMP initialization code does this: mmp->mmp_seq = seq = cpu_to_le32(mmp_new_seq()); Next, mmp->mmp_seq is written out to disk, a delay happens, and then the MMP block is read back in and the sequence value is tested: if (seq != le32_to_cpu(mmp->mmp_seq)) { /* fail the mount */ On a LE system such as x86, the *le32* functions do nothing and this works. Unfortunately, on a BE system such as ppc64, this comparison becomes: if (cpu_to_le32(new_seq) != le32_to_cpu(cpu_to_le32(new_seq)) { /* fail the mount */ Except for a few palindromic sequence numbers, this test always causes the mount to fail, which makes MMP filesystems generally unmountable on ppc64. The attached patch fixes this situation. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2011-09-09ext4: attempt to fix race in bigalloc code pathAditya Kali
Currently, there exists a race between delayed allocated writes and the writeback when bigalloc feature is in use. The race was because we wanted to determine what blocks in a cluster are under delayed allocation and we were using buffer_delayed(bh) check for it. But, the writeback codepath clears this bit without any synchronization which resulted in a race and an ext4 warning similar to: EXT4-fs (ram1): ext4_da_update_reserve_space: ino 13, used 1 with only 0 reserved data blocks The race existed in two places. (1) between ext4_find_delalloc_range() and ext4_map_blocks() when called from writeback code path. (2) between ext4_find_delalloc_range() and ext4_da_get_block_prep() (where buffer_delayed(bh) is set. To fix (1), this patch introduces a new buffer_head state bit - BH_Da_Mapped. This bit is set under the protection of EXT4_I(inode)->i_data_sem when we have actually mapped the delayed allocated blocks during the writeout time. We can now reliably check for this bit inside ext4_find_delalloc_range() to determine whether the reservation for the blocks have already been claimed or not. To fix (2), it was necessary to set buffer_delay(bh) under the protection of i_data_sem. So, I extracted the very beginning of ext4_map_blocks into a new function - ext4_da_map_blocks() - and performed the required setting of bh_delay bit and the quota reservation under the protection of i_data_sem. These two fixes makes the checking of buffer_delay(bh) and buffer_da_mapped(bh) consistent, thus removing the race. Tested: I was able to reproduce the problem by running 'dd' and 'fsync' in parallel. Also, xfstests sometimes used to reproduce this race. After the fix both my test and xfstests were successful and no race (warning message) was observed.

2011-09-09ext4: teach ext4_ext_truncate() about the bigalloc featureTheodore Ts'o
When we are truncating (as opposed unlinking) a file, we need to worry about partial truncates of a file, especially in the light of sparse files. The changes here make sure that arbitrary truncates of sparse files works correctly. Yeah, it's messy.

2011-09-09ext4: teach ext4_free_blocks() about bigalloc and clustersTheodore Ts'o
The ext4_free_blocks() function now has two new flags that indicate whether a partial cluster at the beginning or the end of the block extents should be freed or not. That will be up the caller (i.e., truncate), who can figure out whether partial clusters at the beginning or the end of a block range can be freed. We also have to update the ext4_mb_free_metadata() and release_blocks_on_commit() machinery to be cluster-based, since it is used by ext4_free_blocks(). Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2011-09-09ext4: teach mballoc preallocation code about bigalloc clustersTheodore Ts'o
In most of mballoc.c, we do everything in units of clusters, since the block allocation bitmaps and buddy bitmaps are all denominated in clusters. The one place where we do deal with absolute block numbers is in the code that handles the preallocation regions, since in the case of inode-based preallocation regions, the start of the preallocation region can't be relative to the beginning of the group. So this adds a bit of complexity, where pa_pstart and pa_lstart are block numbers, while pa_free, pa_len, and fe_len are denominated in units of clusters.

2011-09-09ext4: convert block group-relative offsets to use clustersTheodore Ts'o

2011-09-06ext4: fix partial page writesAllison Henderson
While running extended fsx tests to verify the preceeding patches, a similar bug was also found in the write operation When ever a write operation begins or ends in a hole, or extends EOF, the partial page contained in the hole or beyond EOF needs to be zeroed out.

While running extended fsx tests to verify the first two patches, a similar bug was also found in the truncate operation. This bug happens because the truncate routine only zeros the unblock aligned portion of the last page.

2011-09-06ext4: only call ext4_jbd2_file_inode when an inode has been extendedTheodore Ts'o
In delayed allocation mode, it's important to only call ext4_jbd2_file_inode when the file has been extended. This is necessary to avoid a race which first got introduced in commit 678aaf481, but which was made much more common with the introduction of the "punch hole" functionality. (Especially when dioread_nolock was enabled; when I could reliably reproduce this problem with xfstests #74.) The race is this: If while trying to writeback a delayed allocation inode, there is a need to map delalloc blocks, and we run out of space in the journal, *and* at the same time the inode is already on the committing transaction's t_inode_list (because for example while doing the punch hole operation, ext4_jbd2_file_inode() is called), then the commit operation will wait for the inode to finish all of its pending writebacks by calling filemap_fdatawait(), but since that inode has one or more pages with the PageWriteback flag set, the commit operation will wait forever, and the so the writeback of the inode can never take place, and the kjournald thread and the writeback thread end up waiting for each other --- forever. It's important at this point to recall why an inode is placed on the t_inode_list; it is to provide the data=ordered guarantees that we don't end up exposing stale data. In the case where we are truncating or punching a hole in the inode, there is no possibility that stale data could be exposed in the first place, so we don't need to put the inode on the t_inode_list! The right long-term fix is to get rid of data=ordered mode altogether, and only update the extent tree or indirect blocks after the data has been written. Until then, this change will also avoid some unnecessary waiting in the commit operation.

2011-09-04jbd2: add debugging information to jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata()Theodore Ts'o
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. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2011-09-03ext4: improve handling of conflicting mount optionsTheodore Ts'o
If the user explicitly specifies conflicting mount options for delalloc or dioread_nolock and data=journal, fail the mount, instead of printing a warning and continuing (since many user's won't look at dmesg and notice the warning). Also, print a single warning that data=journal implies that delayed allocation is not on by default (since it's not supported), and furthermore that O_DIRECT is not supported. Improve the text in Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt so this is clear there as well. Similarly, if the dioread_nolock mount option is specified when the file system block size != PAGE_SIZE, fail the mount instead of printing a warning message and ignoring the mount option.

2011-09-03ext4: fix 2nd xfstests 127 punch hole failureAllison Henderson
This patch fixes a second punch hole bug found by xfstests 127. This bug happens because punch hole needs to flush the pages of the hole to avoid race conditions. But if the end of the hole is in the same page as i_size, the buffer heads beyond i_size need to be unmapped and the page needs to be zeroed after it is flushed. To correct this, the new ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers routine is used to zero and unmap the partial page beyond i_size if the end of the hole appears in the same page as i_size. The code has also been optimized to set the end of the hole to the page after i_size if the specified hole exceeds i_size, and the code that flushes the pages has been simplified.

2011-09-03ext4: fix xfstests 75, 112, 127 punch hole failureAllison Henderson
This patch addresses a bug found by xfstests 75, 112, 127 when blocksize = 1k This bug happens because the punch hole code only zeros out non block aligned regions of the page. This means that if the blocks are smaller than a page, then the block aligned regions of the page inside the hole are left un-zeroed, and their buffer heads are still mapped. This bug is corrected by using ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers to properly zero the partial page at the head and tail of the hole, and unmap the corresponding buffer heads This patch also addresses a bug reported by Lukas while working on a new patch to add discard support for loop devices using punch hole. The bug happened because of the first and last block number needed to be cast to a larger data type before calculating the byte offset, but since now we only need the byte offsets of the pages, we no longer even need to be calculating the byte offsets of the blocks. The code to do the block offset calculations is removed in this patch. Signed-off-by: Allison Henderson <achender@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2011-09-03ext4: Add new ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers routinesAllison Henderson
This patch adds two new routines: ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers and ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock. The ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers routine is a wrapper function to ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock. The wrapper function locks the page and passes it to ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock. Calling functions that already have the page locked can call ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock directly. The ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock function zeros a specified range in a page, and unmaps the corresponding buffer heads. Only block aligned regions of the page will have their buffer heads unmapped. Unblock aligned regions will be mapped if needed so that they can be updated with the partial zero out. This function is meant to be used to update a page and its buffer heads to be zeroed and unmapped when the corresponding blocks have been released or will be released. This routine is used in the following scenarios: * A hole is punched and the non page aligned regions of the head and tail of the hole need to be discarded * The file is truncated and the partial page beyond EOF needs to be discarded * The end of a hole is in the same page as EOF. After the page is flushed, the partial page beyond EOF needs to be discarded. * A write operation begins or ends inside a hole and the partial page appearing before or after the write needs to be discarded * A write operation extends EOF and the partial page beyond EOF needs to be discarded This function takes a flag EXT4_DISCARD_PARTIAL_PG_ZERO_UNMAPPED which is used when a write operation begins or ends in a hole. When the EXT4_DISCARD_PARTIAL_PG_ZERO_UNMAPPED flag is used, only buffer heads that are already unmapped will have the corresponding regions of the page zeroed.
