* ext4: fix on-line resizing regressionTheodore Ts'o2010-12-231-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25352 This regression was caused by commit a31437b85: "ext4: use sb_issue_zeroout in setup_new_group_blocks", by accidentally dropping the code which reserved the block group descriptor and inode table blocks.

| | | | | | | | | | | There should be a check for the NUL character instead of '0'. Fortunately the only thing that cares about this is NFS serving, which is why we didn't notice this in the merge window testing.

* ext4: Turn off multiple page-io submission by defaultTheodore Ts'o2010-12-143-3/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jon Nelson has found a test case which causes postgresql to fail with the error: psql:t.sql:4: ERROR: invalid page header in block 38269 of relation base/16384/16581 Under memory pressure, it looks like part of a file can end up getting replaced by zero's. Until we can figure out the cause, we'll roll back the change and use block_write_full_page() instead of ext4_bio_write_page(). The new, more efficient writing function can be used via the mount option mblk_io_submit, so we can test and fix the new page I/O code. To reproduce the problem, install postgres 8.4 or 9.0, and pin enough memory such that the system just at the end of triggering writeback before running the following sql script: begin; create temporary table foo as select x as a, ARRAY[x] as b FROM generate_series(1, 10000000 ) AS x; create index foo_a_idx on foo (a); create index foo_b_idx on foo USING GIN (b); rollback; If the temporary table is created on a hard drive partition which is encrypted using dm_crypt, then under memory pressure, approximately 30-40% of the time, pgsql will issue the above failure. This patch should fix this problem, and the problem will come back if the file system is mounted with the mblk_io_submit mount option.

* ext4: Add EXT4_IOC_TRIM ioctl to handle batched discardLukas Czerner2010-11-191-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Filesystem independent ioctl was rejected as not common enough to be in core vfs ioctl. Since we still need to access to this functionality this commit adds ext4 specific ioctl EXT4_IOC_TRIM to dispatch ext4_trim_fs(). It takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in the include/linux/fs.h and its definition is as follows. struct fstrim_range { __u64 start; __u64 len; __u64 minlen; } start - first Byte to trim len - number of Bytes to trim from start minlen - minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs block size. After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage space has been really released for wear-leveling.

* fs: Do not dispatch FITRIM through separate super_operationLukas Czerner2010-11-191-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There was concern that FITRIM ioctl is not common enough to be included in core vfs ioctl, as Christoph Hellwig pointed out there's no real point in dispatching this out to a separate vector instead of just through ->ioctl. So this commit removes ioctl_fstrim() from vfs ioctl and trim_fs from super_operation structure. Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
* ext4: ext4_fill_super shouldn't return 0 on corruptionDarrick J. Wong2010-11-191-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the start of ext4_fill_super, ret is set to -EINVAL, and any failure path out of that function returns ret. However, the generic_check_addressable clause sets ret = 0 (if it passes), which means that a subsequent failure (e.g. a group checksum error) returns 0 even though the mount should fail. This causes vfs_kern_mount in turn to think that the mount succeeded, leading to an oops. A simple fix is to avoid using ret for the generic_check_addressable check, which was last changed in commit 30ca22c70e3ef0a96ff84de69cd7e8561b416cb2. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

Unfortunately, this no longer works, because in commit dd3932eddf (block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT), sb_issue_discard() only presents a synchronous interface, and there are times when we call ext4_free_blocks() when we are are holding a spinlock, or are otherwise in an atomic context.

In ordered mode, we need to make sure the data pages are written just in case we crash before the rename (or unlink) is committed. If the inode is being freed then when we try to igrab the inode, we end up tripping the BUG_ON at fs/ext4/page-io.c:146. To solve this problem, we need to keep track of the number of io callbacks which are pending, and avoid destroying the inode until they have all been completed. That way we don't have to bump the inode count to keep the inode from being destroyed; an approach which doesn't work because the count could have already been dropped down to zero before the inode writeback has started (at which point we're not allowed to bump the count back up to 1, since it's already started getting freed). Thanks to Dave Chinner for suggesting this approach, which is also used by XFS. kernel BUG at /scratch_space/linux-2.6/fs/ext4/page-io.c:146!

| * ext4: fix kernel oops if the journal superblock has a non-zero j_errnoTheodore Ts'o2010-10-271-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 84061e0 fixed an accounting bug only to introduce the possibility of a kernel OOPS if the journal has a non-zero j_errno field indicating that the file system had detected a fs inconsistency. After the journal replay, if the journal superblock indicates that the file system has an error, this indication is transfered to the file system and then ext4_commit_super() is called to write this to the disk. But since the percpu counters are now initialized after the journal replay, the call to ext4_commit_super() will cause a kernel oops since it needs to use the percpu counters the ext4 superblock structure. The fix is to skip setting the ext4 free block and free inode fields if the percpu counter has not been set. Thanks to Ken Sumrall for reporting and analyzing the root causes of this bug.

| * ext4: update writeback_index based on last page scannedEric Sandeen2010-10-271-5/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As pointed out in a prior patch, updating the mapping's writeback_index based on pages written isn't quite right; what the writeback index is really supposed to reflect is the next page which should be scanned for writeback during periodic flush. As in write_cache_pages(), write_cache_pages_da() does this scanning for us as we assemble the mpd for later writeout. If we keep track of the next page after the current scan, we can easily update writeback_index without worrying about pages written vs. pages skipped, etc. Without this, an fsync will reset writeback_index to 0 (its starting index) + however many pages it wrote, which can mess up the progress of periodic flush.

| * ext4: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page taggingEric Sandeen2010-10-271-3/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is analogous to Jan Kara's commit, f446daaea9d4a420d16c606f755f3689dcb2d0ce mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging but since we forked write_cache_pages, we need to reimplement it there (and in ext4_da_writepages, since range_cyclic handling was moved to there) If you start a large buffered IO to a file, and then set fsync after it, you'll find that fsync does not complete until the other IO stops. If you continue re-dirtying the file (say, putting dd with conv=notrunc in a loop), when fsync finally completes (after all IO is done), it reports via tracing that it has written many more pages than the file contains; in other words it has synced and re-synced pages in the file multiple times. This then leads to problems with our writeback_index update, since it advances it by pages written, and essentially sets writeback_index off the end of the file... With the following patch, we only sync as much as was dirty at the time of the sync. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This doesn't fix anything at all, it just removes a vestige of prior use from __mpage_da_writepage() __mpage_da_writepage() had a *void argument leftover from its previous life as a callback; make it reflect the actual type. Fixing this up makes it slightly more obvious to read, and enables proper typechecking. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

| * ext4: Add batched discard support for ext4Lukas Czerner2010-10-273-0/+188
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Walk through allocation groups and trim all free extents. It can be invoked through FITRIM ioctl on the file system. The main idea is to provide a way to trim the whole file system if needed, since some SSD's may suffer from performance loss after the whole device was filled (it does not mean that fs is full!). It search for free extents in allocation groups specified by Byte range start -> start+len. When the free extent is within this range, blocks are marked as used and then trimmed. Afterwards these blocks are marked as free in per-group bitmap. Since fstrim is a long operation it is good to have an ability to interrupt it by a signal. This was added by Dmitry Monakhov.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This massively simplifies the ext4_da_writepages() code path by completely removing mpage_put_bnr_bhs(), which is almost 100 lines of code iterating over a set of pages using pagevec_lookup(), and folds that functionality into mpage_da_submit_io()'s existing pagevec_lookup() loop.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As a prepratory step to switching to bio_submit, inline ext4_writepage() into mpage_da_submit() and then simplify things a bit. This makes it clearer what mpage_da_submit needs to do. Also, move the ClearPageChecked(page) call into __ext4_journalled_writepage(), as a minor bit of cleanup refactoring. This also allows us to pull i_size_read() and ext4_should_journal_data() out of the loop, which should be a very minor CPU savings. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Eventually we need to completely reorganize the ext4 writepage callpath, but for now, we simplify things a little by calling mpage_da_submit_io() from mpage_da_map_blocks(), since all of the places where we call mpage_da_map_blocks() it is followed up by a call to mpage_da_submit_io(). We're also a wee bit better with respect to error handling, but there are still a number of issues where it's not clear what the right thing is to do with ext4 functions deep in the writeback codepath fails.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the first block of htree directory is missing '.' or '..' but is otherwise a valid directory, and we do a lookup for '.' or '..', it's possible to dereference an uninitialized memory pointer in ext4_htree_next_block(). We avoid this by moving the special case from ext4_dx_find_entry() to ext4_find_entry(); this also means we can optimize ext4_find_entry() slightly when NFS looks up "..".
