2012-12-10ext4: add normal write support for inline dataTao Ma
For a normal write case (not journalled write, not delayed allocation), we write to the inline if the file is small and convert it to an extent based file when the write is larger than the max inline size. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@taobao.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2012-12-10ext4: add the basic function for inline data supportTao Ma
Implement inline data with xattr. Now we use "system.data" to store xattr, and the xattr will be extended if the i_size is increased while we don't release the space during truncate. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@taobao.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2012-12-02ext4: move extra inode read to a new functionTao Ma
Currently, in ext4_iget we do a simple check to see whether there does exist some information starting from the end of i_extra_size. With inline data added, this procedure is more complicated. So move it to a new function named ext4_iget_extra_inode. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@taobao.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2012-11-29ext4: fix possible use after free with metadata csumTheodore Ts'o
Commit fa77dcfafeaa introduces block bitmap checksum calculation into ext4_new_inode() in the case that block group was uninitialized. However we brelse() the bitmap buffer before we attempt to checksum it so we have no guarantee that the buffer is still there. Fix this by releasing the buffer after the possible checksum computation. Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Acked-by: Darrick J.

2012-11-29ext4: restructure ext4_ext_direct_IO()Theodore Ts'o
Remove a level of indentation by moving the DIO read and extending write case to the beginning of the file. This results in no actual programmatic changes to the file, but makes it easier to read/understand. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2012-11-28ext4: rationalize ext4_extents.h inclusionTheodore Ts'o
Previously, ext4_extents.h was being included at the end of ext4.h, which was bad for a number of reasons: (a) it was not being included in the expected place, and (b) it caused the header to be included multiple times. There were #ifdef's to prevent this from causing any problems, but it still was unnecessary. By moving the function declarations that were in ext4_extents.h to ext4.h, which is standard practice for where the function declarations for the rest of ext4.h can be found, we can remove ext4_extents.h from being included in ext4.h at all, and then we can only include ext4_extents.h where it is needed in ext4's source files. It should be possible to move a few more things into ext4.h, and further reduce the number of source files that need to #include ext4_extents.h, but that's a cleanup for another day.

2012-11-28ext4: prevent race while walking extent tree for fiemapLukas Czerner
Currently ext4_ext_walk_space() only takes i_data_sem for read when searching for the extent at given block with ext4_ext_find_extent(). Then it drops the lock and the extent tree can be changed at will. However later on we're searching for the 'next' extent, but the extent tree might already have changed, so the information might not be accurate. In fact we can hit BUG_ON(end <= start) if the extent got inserted into the tree after the one we found and before the block we were searching for. This has been reproduced by running xfstests 225 in loop on s390x architecture, but theoretically we could hit this on any other architecture as well, but probably not as often. Moreover the extent currently in delayed allocation might be allocated after we search the extent tree and before we search extent status tree delayed buffers resulting in those delayed buffers being completely missed, even though completely written and allocated. We fix all those problems in several steps: 1. remove unnecessary callback indirection 2. rename functions ext4_ext_walk_space -> ext4_fill_fiemap_extents ext4_ext_fiemap_cb -> ext4_find_delayed_extent 3. move fiemap_fill_next_extent() into ext4_fill_fiemap_extents() 4. hold the i_data_sem for: ext4_ext_find_extent() ext4_ext_next_allocated_block() ext4_find_delayed_extent() 5. call fiemap_fill_next_extent after releasing the i_data_sem 6. move path reinitialization into the critical section.

2012-11-15ext4: remove calls to ext4_jbd2_file_inode() from delalloc write pathTheodore Ts'o
The calls to ext4_jbd2_file_inode() are needed to guarantee that we do not expose stale data in the data=ordered mode. However, they are not necessary because in all of the cases where we have newly allocated blocks in the delayed allocation write path, we immediately submit the dirty pages for I/O. Hence, we can avoid the overhead of adding the inode to the list of inodes whose data pages will be to be flushed out to disk completely during the next commit operation.

During a directory entry lookup of a hashed directory, if the hash-based lookup functions fail and we fall back to a linear scan, don't try to verify the dirent checksum on the internal nodes of the hash tree because they don't store a checksum in a hidden dirent like the leaf nodes do.

If there is no space for a checksum in a directory leaf node, previously we would use EXT4_ERROR_INODE() which would mark the file system as inconsistent.

2012-11-08ext4: introduce lseek SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE supportZheng Liu
This patch makes ext4 really support SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE flags. Block-mapped and extent-mapped files are fully implemented together because ext4_map_blocks hides this differences. After applying this patch, it will cause a failure in xfstest #285 when the file is block-mapped due to block-mapped file isn't support fallocate(2). I had tried to use ext4_ext_walk_space() to retrieve the offset for a extent-mapped file. But finally I decide to keep using ext4_map_blocks() to support SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE because ext4_map_blocks() can hide the difference between block-mapped file and extent-mapped file. Moreover, in next step, extent status tree will track all extent status, and we can get all mappings from this tree. So I think that using ext4_map_blocks() is a better choice.

2012-11-08ext4: fix error handling in ext4_fill_super()Lukas Czerner
There are some places in ext4_fill_super() where we would not return proper error code if something fails. The confusion is caused probably due to the fact that we have two "kind-of" return variables 'ret'and 'err'. 'ret' is used to return error code from ext4_fill_super() where err is used to store return values from other functions within ext4_fill_super(). However some places were missing the obligatory 'ret = err'. We could put the assignment where it is missing, but we can have better "future proof" solution. Or we could convert the code to use just one, but it would require more rewrites. This commit fixes the problem by returning value from 'err' variable if it is set and 'ret' otherwise in error handling branch of the ext4_fill_super(). The reasoning is that 'ret' value is often set to default "-EINVAL" or explicit value, where 'err' is used to store return value from other functions and should be otherwise zero. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48431 Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2012-10-28ext4: fix unjournaled inode bitmap modificationEric Sandeen
commit 119c0d4460b001e44b41dcf73dc6ee794b98bd31 changed ext4_new_inode() such that the inode bitmap was being modified outside a transaction, which could lead to corruption, and was discovered when journal_checksum found a bad checksum in the journal during log replay. Nix ran into this when using the journal_async_commit mount option, which enables journal checksumming. The ensuing journal replay failures due to the bad checksums led to filesystem corruption reported as the now infamous "Apparent serious progressive ext4 data corruption bug" [ Changed by tytso to only call ext4_journal_get_write_access() only when we're fairly certain that we're going to allocate the inode. ] I've tested this by mounting with journal_checksum and running fsstress then dropping power; I've also tested by hacking DM to create snapshots w/o first quiescing, which allows me to test journal replay repeatedly w/o actually power-cycling the box. Without the patch I hit a journal checksum error every time. With this fix it survives many iterations.

Use rcu_read_lock_sched / rcu_read_unlock_sched / synchronize_sched instead of rcu_read_lock / rcu_read_unlock / synchronize_rcu. This is an optimization. The RCU-protected region is very small, so there will be no latency problems if we disable preempt in this region. So we use rcu_read_lock_sched / rcu_read_unlock_sched that translates to preempt_disable / preempt_disable. It is smaller (and supposedly faster) than preemptible rcu_read_lock / rcu_read_unlock.
