Xfstests generic/311 and shared/298 fail when run on a bigalloc file
system. Kernel error messages produced during the tests report that
blocks to be freed are already on the to-be-freed list. When e2fsck
is run at the end of the tests, it typically reports bad i_blocks and
bad free blocks counts.
The bug that causes these failures is located in ext4_ext_rm_leaf().
Code at the end of the function frees a partial cluster if it's not
shared with an extent remaining in the leaf. However, if all the
extents in the leaf have been removed, the code dereferences an
invalid extent pointer (off the front of the leaf) when the check for
sharing is made. This generally has the effect of unconditionally
freeing the partial cluster, which leads to the observed failures
when the partial cluster is shared with the last extent in the next
leaf.
Fix this by attempting to free the cluster only if extents remain in
the leaf. Any remaining partial cluster will be freed if possible
when the next leaf is processed or when leaf removal is complete.

Currently in ext4_fallocate() and ext4_zero_range() we're testing ret
variable along with new_size. However in ext4_fallocate() we just tested
ret before and in ext4_zero_range() if will always be zero when we get
there so there is no need to test it in both cases.

Introduce new FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE flag for fallocate. This has the same
functionality as xfs ioctl XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE.
It can be used to convert a range of file to zeros preferably without
issuing data IO. Blocks should be preallocated for the regions that span
holes in the file, and the entire range is preferable converted to
unwritten extents
This can be also used to preallocate blocks past EOF in the same way as
with fallocate. Flag FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE which should cause the inode
size to remain the same.
Also add appropriate tracepoints.

Currently in ext4_fallocate we would update inode size, c_time and sync
the file with every partial allocation which is entirely unnecessary. It
is true that if the crash happens in the middle of truncate we might end
up with unchanged i size, or c_time which I do not think is really a
problem - it does not mean file system corruption in any way. Note that
xfs is doing things the same way e.g. update all of the mentioned after
the allocation is done.
This commit moves all the updates after the allocation is done. In
addition we also need to change m_time as not only inode has been change
bot also data regions might have changed (unwritten extents). However
m_time will be only updated when i_size changed.
Also we do not need to be paranoid about changing the c_time only if the
actual allocation have happened, we can change it even if we try to
allocate only to find out that there are already block allocated. It's
not really a big deal and it will save us some additional complexity.
Also use ext4_debug, instead of ext4_warning in #ifdef EXT4FS_DEBUG
section.

Commit 9cb00419fa, which enables hole punching for bigalloc file
systems, exposed a bug introduced by commit 6ae06ff51e in an earlier
release. When run on a bigalloc file system, xfstests generic/013, 068,
075, 083, 091, 100, 112, 127, 263, 269, and 270 fail with e2fsck errors
or cause kernel error messages indicating that previously freed blocks
are being freed again.
The latter commit optimizes the selection of the starting extent in
ext4_ext_rm_leaf() when hole punching by beginning with the extent
supplied in the path argument rather than with the last extent in the
leaf node (as is still done when truncating). However, the code in
rm_leaf that initially sets partial_cluster to track cluster sharing on
extent boundaries is only guaranteed to run if rm_leaf starts with the
last node in the leaf. Consequently, partial_cluster is not correctly
initialized when hole punching, and a cluster on the boundary of a
punched region that should be retained may instead be deallocated.

This patch implements fallocate's FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE for Ext4.
The semantics of this flag are following:
1) It collapses the range lying between offset and length by removing any data
blocks which are present in this range and than updates all the logical
offsets of extents beyond "offset + len" to nullify the hole created by
removing blocks. In short, it does not leave a hole.
2) It should be used exclusively. No other fallocate flag in combination.
3) Offset and length supplied to fallocate should be fs block size aligned
in case of xfs and ext4.
4) Collaspe range does not work beyond i_size.

Commit a115f749c1 (ext4: remove wait for unwritten extent conversion from
ext4_truncate) exposed a bug in ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents().
It can be triggered by xfstest generic/299 when run on a test file
system created without a journal. This test continuously fallocates and
truncates files to which random dio/aio writes are simultaneously
performed by a separate process. The test completes successfully, but
if the test filesystem is mounted with the block_validity option, a
warning message stating that a logical block has been mapped to an
illegal physical block is posted in the kernel log.
The bug occurs when an extent is being converted to the written state
by ext4_end_io_dio() and ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents()
discovers a mapping for an existing uninitialized extent. Although it
sets EXT4_MAP_MAPPED in map->m_flags, it fails to set map->m_pblk to
the discovered physical block number. Because map->m_pblk is not
otherwise initialized or set by this function or its callers, its
uninitialized value is returned to ext4_map_blocks(), where it is
stored as a bogus mapping in the extent status tree.
Since map->m_pblk can accidentally contain illegal values that are
larger than the physical size of the file system, calls to
check_block_validity() in ext4_map_blocks() that are enabled if the
block_validity mount option is used can fail, resulting in the logged
warning message.

Commit f5a44db5d2 introduced a regression on filesystems created with
the bigalloc feature (cluster size > blocksize). It causes xfstests
generic/006 and /013 to fail with an unexpected JBD2 failure and
transaction abort that leaves the test file system in a read only state.
Other xfstests run on bigalloc file systems are likely to fail as well.
The cause is the accidental use of a cluster mask where a cluster
offset was needed in ext4_ext_map_blocks().

A corrupted ext4 may have out of order leaf extents, i.e.
extent: lblk 0--1023, len 1024, pblk 9217, flags: LEAF UNINIT
extent: lblk 1000--2047, len 1024, pblk 10241, flags: LEAF UNINIT
^^^^ overlap with previous extent
Reading such extent could hit BUG_ON() in ext4_es_cache_extent().
BUG_ON(end < lblk);
The problem is that __read_extent_tree_block() tries to cache holes as
well but assumes 'lblk' is greater than 'prev' and passes underflowed
length to ext4_es_cache_extent(). Fix it by checking for overlapping
extents in ext4_valid_extent_entries().
I hit this when fuzz testing ext4, and am able to reproduce it by
modifying the on-disk extent by hand.
Also add the check for (ee_block + len - 1) in ext4_valid_extent() to
make sure the value is not overflow.
Ran xfstests on patched ext4 and no regression.

Commit ec22ba8e ("ext4: disable merging of uninitialized extents")
ensured that if either extent under consideration is uninit, we
decline to merge, and ext4_can_extents_be_merged() returns false.
So there is no need for the caller to then test whether the
extent under consideration is unitialized; if it were, we
wouldn't have gotten that far.
The comments were also inaccurate; ext4_can_extents_be_merged()
no longer XORs the states, it fails if *either* is uninit.

reaim workfile.dbase test easily triggers warning in
ext4_da_update_reserve_space():
EXT4-fs warning (device ram0): ext4_da_update_reserve_space:365:
ino 12, allocated 1 with only 0 reserved metadata blocks (releasing 1
blocks with reserved 9 data blocks)
The problem is that (one of) tests creates file and then randomly writes
to it with O_SYNC. That results in writing back pages of the file in
random order so we create extents for written blocks say 0, 2, 4, 6, 8
- this last allocation also allocates new block for extents. Then we
writeout block 1 so we have extents 0-2, 4, 6, 8 and we release
indirect extent block because extents fit in the inode again. Then we
writeout block 10 and we need to allocate indirect extent block again
which triggers the warning because we don't have the reservation
anymore.
Fix the problem by giving back freed metadata blocks resulting from
extent merging into inode's reservation pool.

Add a new fiemap flag which forces the all of the extents in an inode
to be cached in the extent_status tree. This is critically important
when using AIO to a preallocated file, since if we need to read in
blocks from the extent tree, the io_submit(2) system call becomes
synchronous, and the AIO is no longer "A", which is bad.
In addition, for most files which have an external leaf tree block,
the cost of caching the information in the extent status tree will be
less than caching the entire 4k block in the buffer cache. So it is
generally a win to keep the extent information cached.

If there are no items in the extent status tree, ext4_es_lru_add() is
a no-op. So it is not sufficient to call ext4_es_lru_add() before we
try to lookup an entry in the extent status tree. We also need to
call it at the end of ext4_ext_map_blocks(), after items have been
added to the extent status tree.
This could lead to inodes with that have extent status trees but which
are not in the LRU list, which means they won't get considered for

Both hole punch and truncate use ext4_ext_rm_leaf() for removing
blocks. Currently we choose the last extent as the starting
point for removing blocks:
ex = EXT_LAST_EXTENT(eh);
This is OK for truncate but for hole punch we can optimize the extent
selection as the path is already initialized. We could use this

is not possible to start a transaction after PageWriteback is set

Currently punch hole is disabled in file systems with bigalloc
feature enabled. However the recent changes in punch hole patch should
make it easier to support punching holes on bigalloc enabled file
systems.
This commit changes partial_cluster handling in ext4_remove_blocks(),
ext4_ext_rm_leaf() and ext4_ext_remove_space(). Currently
partial_cluster is unsigned long long type and it makes sure that we
will free the partial cluster if all extents has been released from that
cluster. However it has been specifically designed only for truncate.
With punch hole we can be freeing just some extents in the cluster
leaving the rest untouched. So we have to make sure that we will notice
cluster which still has some extents. To do this I've changed
partial_cluster to be signed long long type. The only scenario where
this could be a problem is when cluster_size == block size, however in
that case there would not be any partial clusters so we're safe. For
bigger clusters the signed type is enough. Now we use the negative value
in partial_cluster to mark such cluster used, hence we know that we must
not free it even if all other extents has been freed from such cluster.
This scenario can be described in simple diagram:
|FFF...FF..FF.UUU|
^----------^
punch hole
. - free space
| - cluster boundary
F - freed extent
U - used extent
Also update respective tracepoints to use signed long long type for
partial_cluster.

The commit causes about 20% performance decrease in fio random write

The cause is that ext4_es_find_delayed_extent() doesn't have an
upper bound, it keeps searching until a delayed extent is found.
When there are a lots of non-delayed entries in the extent state
tree, ext4_es_find_delayed_extent() may uses a lot of CPU time.

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.

Currently when inserting extent in ext4_ext_insert_extent() we would

We can avoid this situation by trying to append and prepend new extent
to the existing ones. However since the new extent can be on either
sides of the existing extent, we have to pick the right extent to try to
append/prepend to.
This patch adds the conditions to pick the right extent to
append/prepend to and adds the actual prepending condition as well. This
will also eliminate the need to use "reserved" block for possibly
growing extent tree.

Currently when converting extent to initialized we attempt to transfer
initialized block to the left neighbour if possible when certain
criteria are met. However we do not attempt to do the same for the
right neighbor.
This commit adds the possibility to transfer initialized block to the
right neighbour if:
1. We're not converting the whole extent
2. Both extents are stored in the same extent tree node
3. Right neighbor is initialized
4. Right neighbor is logically abutting the current one
5. Right neighbor is physically abutting the current one
6. Right neighbor would not overflow the length limit
This is basically the same logic as with transferring to the left. This
will gain us some performance benefits since it is faster than inserting
extent and then merging it.
It would also prevent some situation in delalloc patch when we might run
out of metadata reservation. This is due to the fact that we would
attempt to split the extent first (possibly allocating new metadata
block) even though we did not counted for that because it can (and will)
be merged again. This commit fix that scenario, because we no longer
need to split the extent in such case.
