We can call ext4_mb_check_limits even after successfully allocating
the requested blocks. In that case, make sure we don't overwrite
ac_status if it already has the status AC_STATUS_FOUND. This fixes
the lockdep warning:

A few weeks ago I posted a patch for discussion that allowed ext4 to run
without a journal. Since that time I've integrated the excellent
comments from Andreas and fixed several serious bugs. We're currently
running with this patch and generating some performance numbers against
both ext2 (with backported reservations code) and ext4 with and without
a journal. It just so happens that running without a journal is
slightly faster for most everything.
We did
iozone -T -t 4 s 2g -r 256k -T -I -i0 -i1 -i2
which creates 4 threads, each of which create and do reads and writes on
a 2G file, with a buffer size of 256K, using O_DIRECT for all file opens
to bypass the page cache. Results:
ext2 ext4, default ext4, no journal
initial writes 13.0 MB/s 15.4 MB/s 15.7 MB/s
rewrites 13.1 MB/s 15.6 MB/s 15.9 MB/s
reads 15.2 MB/s 16.9 MB/s 17.2 MB/s
re-reads 15.3 MB/s 16.9 MB/s 17.2 MB/s
random readers 5.6 MB/s 5.6 MB/s 5.7 MB/s
random writers 5.1 MB/s 5.3 MB/s 5.4 MB/s
So it seems that, so far, this was a useful exercise.

I chased the cause of following ext4 oops report which is tested on
ia64 box.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12018
The cause is the size of s_mb_maxs array that is defined as "unsigned
short" in ext4_sb_info structure. If the file system's block size is
8k or greater, an unsigned short is not wide enough to contain the
value fs->blocksize << 3.

The inode table has been zeroed in setup_new_group_blocks(). Mark it as
such in ext4_group_add(). Since we are currently clearing inode table
for the new block group, we should set the EXT4_BG_INODE_ZEROED flag.
If at some point in the future we don't immediately zero out the inode
table as part of the resize operation, then obviously we shouldn't do
this.

If the filesystem has errors, ext4_da_writepages() will return a *lot*
of errors, including lots and lots of stack dumps. While it's true
that we are dropping user data on the floor, which is unfortunate, the
stack dumps aren't helpful, and they tend to obscure the true original
root cause of the problem. So in the case where the filesystem has
aborted, return an EROFS right away.

The convenience function do_blk_alloc() is a static function with only
one caller, so fold it into ext4_new_meta_blocks() to simplify the
code and to make it easier to understand.
To save more stack space, if count is a null pointer in
ext4_new_meta_blocks() assume that caller wanted a single block (and
if there is an error, no blocks were allocated).

The original ext3 hash algorithms assumed that variables of type char
were signed, as God and K&R intended. Unfortunately, this assumption
is not true on some architectures. Userspace support for marking
filesystems with non-native signed/unsigned chars was added two years
ago, but the kernel-side support was never added (until now).

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.
The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).
This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

commit 1f7c14c62ce63805f9574664a6c6de3633d4a354
Author: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com>
Date: Thu Oct 9 12:50:59 2008 -0400
percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
Before this patch we had the following:
percpu_counter_sum(): return the percpu_counter's value
percpu_counter_sum_and_set(): return the percpu_counter's value, copying
that value into the central value and zeroing the per-cpu counters before
returning.
After this patch, percpu_counter_sum_and_set() has gone, and
percpu_counter_sum() gets the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
functionality.
Problem is, as Eric points out, the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
functionality was racy and wrong. It zeroes out counters on "other" cpus,
without holding any locks which will prevent races agaist updates from
those other CPUS.
This patch reverts 1f7c14c62ce63805f9574664a6c6de3633d4a354. This means
that percpu_counter_sum_and_set() still has the race, but
percpu_counter_sum() does not.
Note that this is not a simple revert - ext4 has since started using
percpu_counter_sum() for its dirty_blocks counter as well.
Note that this revert patch changes percpu_counter_sum() semantics.
Before the patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will bring the counter's
central counter mostly up-to-date, so a following percpu_counter_read()
will return a close value.
After this patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will leave the counter's
central accumulator unaltered, so a subsequent call to
percpu_counter_read() can now return a significantly inaccurate result.
If there is any code in the tree which was introduced after
e8ced39d5e8911c662d4d69a342b9d053eaaac4e was merged, and which depends
upon the new percpu_counter_sum() semantics, that code will break.

This fixes a 2.6.27 regression which was introduced in commit a02908f1.
We weren't passing the chunk parameter down to the two subections,
ext4_indirect_trans_blocks() and ext4_ext_index_trans_blocks(), with
the result that massively overestimate the amount of credits needed by
ext4_da_writepages, especially in the non-extents case. This causes
failures especially on /boot partitions, which tend to be small and
non-extent using since GRUB doesn't handle extents.

In ext4_sync_fs, we only wait for a commit to finish if we started it,
but there may be one already in progress which will not be synced.
In the case of a data=ordered umount with pending long symlinks which
are delayed due to a long list of other I/O on the backing block
device, this causes the buffer associated with the long symlinks to
not be moved to the inode dirty list in the second phase of
fsync_super. Then, before they can be dirtied again, kjournald exits,
seeing the UMOUNT flag and the dirty pages are never written to the
backing block device, causing long symlink corruption and exposing new
or previously freed block data to userspace.
To ensure all commits are synced, we flush all journal commits now
when sync_fs'ing ext4.

The multiblock allocator needs to be able to release blocks (and issue
a blkdev discard request) when the transaction which freed those
blocks is committed. Previously this was done via a polling mechanism
when blocks are allocated or freed. A much better way of doing things
is to create a jbd2 callback function and attaching the list of blocks
to be freed directly to the transaction structure.
