2009-11-22ext4: fold ext4_journal_forget() into ext4_forget()Theodore Ts'o
Convert the last two callers of ext4_journal_forget() to use ext4_forget() instead, and then fold ext4_journal_forget() into ext4_forget(). This reduces are code complexity and shortens our call stack. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-11-24ext4: fold ext4_journal_revoke() into ext4_forget()Theodore Ts'o
The only caller of ext4_journal_revoke() is ext4_forget(), so we can fold ext4_journal_revoke() into ext4_forget() to simplify the code and shorten the call stack. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-11-22ext4: move ext4_forget() to ext4_jbd2.cTheodore Ts'o
The ext4_forget() function better belongs in ext4_jbd2.c. This will allow us to do some cleanup of the ext4_journal_revoke() and ext4_journal_forget() functions, as well as giving us better error reporting since we can report the caller of ext4_forget() when things go wrong.

2009-11-19ext4: make "norecovery" an alias for "noload"Eric Sandeen
Users on the linux-ext4 list recently complained about differences across filesystems w.r.t. how to mount without a journal replay. In the discussion it was noted that xfs's "norecovery" option is perhaps more descriptively accurate than "noload," so let's make that an alias for ext4.

2009-11-23ext4: make sure directory and symlink blocks are revokedTheodore Ts'o
When an inode gets unlinked, the functions ext4_clear_blocks() and ext4_remove_blocks() call ext4_forget() for all the buffer heads corresponding to the deleted inode's data blocks. If the inode is a directory or a symlink, the is_metadata parameter must be non-zero so ext4_forget() will revoke them via jbd2_journal_revoke(). Otherwise, if these blocks are reused for a data file, and the system crashes before a journal checkpoint, the journal replay could end up corrupting these data blocks.

2009-11-23ext4: fix possible recursive locking warning in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXTAkira Fujita
If CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled, the double_down_write_data_sem() will trigger a false-positive warning of a recursive lock. Since we take i_data_sem for the two inodes ordered by their inode numbers, this isn't a problem. Use of down_write_nested() will notify the lock dependency checker machinery that there is no problem here.

2009-11-23ext4: fix lock order problem in ext4_move_extents()Akira Fujita
ext4_move_extents() checks the logical block contiguousness of original file with ext4_find_extent() and mext_next_extent(). Therefore the extent which ext4_ext_path structure indicates must not be changed between above functions. But in current implementation, there is no i_data_sem protection between ext4_ext_find_extent() and mext_next_extent(). So the extent which ext4_ext_path structure indicates may be overwritten by delalloc. As a result, ext4_move_extents() will exchange wrong blocks between original and donor files. I change the place where acquire/release i_data_sem to solve this problem. Moreover, I changed move_extent_per_page() to start transaction first, and then acquire i_data_sem. Without this change, there is a possibility of the deadlock between mmap() and ext4_move_extents(): * NOTE: "A", "B" and "C" mean different processes A-1: ext4_ext_move_extents() acquires i_data_sem of two inodes. B: do_page_fault() starts the transaction (T), and then tries to acquire i_data_sem. But process "A" is already holding it, so it is kept waiting. C: While "A" and "B" running, kjournald2 tries to commit transaction (T) but it is under updating, so kjournald2 waits for it. A-2: Call ext4_journal_start with holding i_data_sem, but transaction (T) is locked. Signed-off-by: Akira Fujita <a-fujita@rs.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2009-11-23ext4: fix potential buffer head leak when add_dirent_to_buf() returns ENOSPCTheodore Ts'o
Previously add_dirent_to_buf() did not free its passed-in buffer head in the case of ENOSPC, since in some cases the caller still needed it. However, this led to potential buffer head leaks since not all callers dealt with this correctly. Fix this by making simplifying the freeing convention; now add_dirent_to_buf() *never* frees the passed-in buffer head, and leaves that to the responsibility of its caller. This makes things cleaner and easier to prove that the code is neither leaking buffer heads or calling brelse() one time too many.

2009-11-06ext4: Fix return value of ext4_split_unwritten_extents() to fix direct I/OMingming
To prepare for a direct I/O write, we need to split the unwritten extents before submitting the I/O. When no extents needed to be split, ext4_split_unwritten_extents() was incorrectly returning 0 instead of the size of uninitialized extents. This bug caused the wrong return value sent back to VFS code when it gets called from async IO path, leading to an unnecessary fall back to buffered IO. This bug also hid the fact that the check to see whether or not a split would be necessary was incorrect; we can only skip splitting the extent if the write completely covers the uninitialized extent.

After a direct I/O request covering an uninitalized extent (i.e., created using the fallocate system call) or a hole in a file, ext4 will convert the uninitialized extent so it is marked as initialized by calling ext4_convert_unwritten_extents(). This function returns zero on success. This return value was getting returned by ext4_direct_IO(); however the file system's direct_IO function is supposed to return the number of bytes read or written on a success. By returning zero, it confused the direct I/O code into falling back to buffered I/O unnecessarily. Signed-off-by: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2009-11-02Revert "ext4: Remove journal_checksum mount option and enable it by default"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit d0646f7b636d067d715fab52a2ba9c6f0f46b0d7, as requested by Eric Sandeen. It can basically cause an ext4 filesystem to miss recovery (and thus get mounted with errors) if the journal checksum does not match. Quoth Eric: "My hand-wavy hunch about what is happening is that we're finding a bad checksum on the last partially-written transaction, which is not surprising, but if we have a wrapped log and we're doing the initial scan for head/tail, and we abort scanning on that bad checksum, then we are essentially running an unrecovered filesystem. But that's hand-wavy and I need to go look at the code. We lived without journal checksums on by default until now, and at this point they're doing more harm than good, so we should revert the default-changing commit until we can fix it and do some good power-fail testing with the fixes in place."

2009-09-28ext4: async direct IO for holes and fallocate supportMingming Cao
For async direct IO that covers holes or fallocate, the end_io callback function now queued the convertion work on workqueue but don't flush the work rightaway as it might take too long to afford. But when fsync is called after all the data is completed, user expects the metadata also being updated before fsync returns. Thus we need to flush the conversion work when fsync() is called. This patch keep track of a listed of completed async direct io that has a work queued on workqueue. When fsync() is called, it will go through the list and do the conversion.

2009-09-28ext4: Use end_io callback to avoid direct I/O fallback to buffered I/OMingming Cao
Currently the DIO VFS code passes create = 0 when writing to the middle of file. It does this to avoid block allocation for holes, so as not to expose stale data out when there is a parallel buffered read (which does not hold the i_mutex lock). Direct I/O writes into holes falls back to buffered IO for this reason. Since preallocated extents are treated as holes when doing a get_block() look up (buffer is not mapped), direct IO over fallocate also falls back to buffered IO. Thus ext4 actually silently falls back to buffered IO in above two cases, which is undesirable. To fix this, this patch creates unitialized extents when a direct I/O write into holes in sparse files, and registering an end_io callback which converts the uninitialized extent to an initialized extent after the I/O is completed.

2009-09-29ext4: Adjust ext4_da_writepages() to write out larger contiguous chunksTheodore Ts'o
Work around problems in the writeback code to force out writebacks in larger chunks than just 4mb, which is just too small. This also works around limitations in the ext4 block allocator, which can't allocate more than 2048 blocks at a time. So we need to defeat the round-robin characteristics of the writeback code and try to write out as many blocks in one inode before allowing the writeback code to move on to another inode. We add a a new per-filesystem tunable, max_writeback_mb_bump, which caps this to a default of 128mb per inode. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-09-28ext4: Fix hueristic which avoids group preallocation for closed filesTheodore Ts'o
The hueristic was designed to avoid using locality group preallocation when writing the last segment of a closed file. Fix it by move setting size to the maximum of size and isize until after we check whether size == isize. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

* mark struct vm_area_struct::vm_ops as const * mark vm_ops in AGP code But leave TTM code alone, something is fishy there with global vm_ops being used. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-09-26ext4: Use ext4_msg() for ext4_da_writepage() errorsTheodore Ts'o
This allows the user to see what filesystem was involved with a particular ext4_da_writepage() error. Also, use KERN_CRIT which is more appropriate than KERN_EMERG. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
