2009-02-22ext4: return -EIO not -ESTALE on directory traversal through deleted inodeBryan Donlan
ext4_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to report errors to NFS properly. However, in ext4_lookup(), this -ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to a misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the part of the admin. The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls -l said link. This patch thus changes ext4_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE from ext4_iget(), as ext4 does for other filesystem metadata corruption; and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is detected.

2009-03-12ext4: New inode/block allocation algorithms for flex_bg filesystemsTheodore Ts'o
The find_group_flex() inode allocator is now only used if the filesystem is mounted using the "oldalloc" mount option. It is replaced with the original Orlov allocator that has been updated for flex_bg filesystems (it should behave the same way if flex_bg is disabled). The inode allocator now functions by taking into account each flex_bg group, instead of each block group, when deciding whether or not it's time to allocate a new directory into a fresh flex_bg. The block allocator has also been changed so that the first block group in each flex_bg is preferred for use for storing directory blocks. This keeps directory blocks close together, which is good for speeding up e2fsck since large directories are more likely to look like this: debugfs: stat /home/tytso/Maildir/cur Inode: 1844562 Type: directory Mode: 0700 Flags: 0x81000 Generation: 1132745781 Version: 0x00000000:0000ad71 User: 15806 Group: 15806 Size: 1060864 File ACL: 0 Directory ACL: 0 Links: 2 Blockcount: 2072 Fragment: Address: 0 Number: 0 Size: 0 ctime: 0x499c0ff4:164961f4 -- Wed Feb 18 08:41:08 2009 atime: 0x499c0ff4:00000000 -- Wed Feb 18 08:41:08 2009 mtime: 0x49957f51:00000000 -- Fri Feb 13 09:10:25 2009 crtime: 0x499c0f57:00d51440 -- Wed Feb 18 08:38:31 2009 Size of extra inode fields: 28 BLOCKS: (0):7348651, (1-258):7348654-7348911 TOTAL: 259 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-02-22ext4: Fix deadlock in ext4_write_begin() and ext4_da_write_begin()Jan Kara
Functions ext4_write_begin() and ext4_da_write_begin() call grab_cache_page_write_begin() without AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Thus it can happen that page reclaim is triggered in that function and it recurses back into the filesystem (or some other filesystem). But this can lead to various problems as a transaction is already started at that point.

2009-02-21ext4: Add fallback for find_group_flexTheodore Ts'o
This is a workaround for find_group_flex() which badly needs to be replaced. One of its problems (besides ignoring the Orlov algorithm) is that it is a bit hyperactive about returning failure under suspicious circumstances. This can lead to spurious ENOSPC failures even when there are inodes still available. Work around this for now by retrying the search using find_group_other() if find_group_flex() returns -1. If find_group_other() succeeds when find_group_flex() has failed, log a warning message. A better block/inode allocator that will fix this problem for real has been queued up for the next merge window. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2009-02-15ext4: tighten restrictions on inode flagsDuane Griffin
At the moment there are few restrictions on which flags may be set on which inodes. Specifically DIRSYNC may only be set on directories and IMMUTABLE and APPEND may not be set on links. Tighten that to disallow TOPDIR being set on non-directories and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set on non-regular file, non-directories. Introduces a flags masking function which masks flags based on mode and use it during inode creation and when flags are set via the ioctl to facilitate future consistency.

2009-02-15ext4: allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock separatelyPekka Enberg
As spotted by kmemtrace, struct ext4_sb_info is 17664 bytes on 64-bit which makes it a very bad fit for SLAB allocators. The culprit of the wasted memory is ->s_blockgroup_lock which can be as big as 16 KB when NR_CPUS >= 32. To fix that, allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock, which fits nicely in a order 2 page in the worst case, separately. This shinks down struct ext4_sb_info enough to fit a 2 KB slab cache so now we allocate 16 KB + 2 KB instead of 32 KB saving 14 KB of memory.

2009-02-14ext4: New rec_len encoding for very large blocksizesWei Yongjun
The rec_len field in the directory entry is 16 bits, so to encode blocksizes larger than 64k becomes problematic. This patch allows us to supprot block sizes up to 256k, by using the low 2 bits to extend the range of rec_len to 2**18-1 (since valid rec_len sizes must be a multiple of 4). We use the convention that a rec_len of 0 or 65535 means the filesystem block size, for compatibility with older kernels. It's unlikely we'll see VM pages of up to 256k, but at some point we might find that the Linux VM has been enhanced to support filesystem block sizes > than the VM page size, at which point it might be useful for some applications to allow very large filesystem block sizes.

2009-02-14ext4: Implement range_cyclic in ext4_da_writepages instead of write_cache_pagesAneesh Kumar K.V
With delayed allocation we lock the page in write_cache_pages() and try to build an in memory extent of contiguous blocks. This is needed so that we can get large contiguous blocks request. If range_cyclic mode is enabled, write_cache_pages() will loop back to the 0 index if no I/O has been done yet, and try to start writing from the beginning of the range. That causes an attempt to take the page lock of lower index page while holding the page lock of higher index page, which can cause a dead lock with another writeback thread. The solution is to implement the range_cyclic behavior in ext4_da_writepages() instead. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12579 Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2009-02-10ext4: Fix to read empty directory blocks correctly in 64kWei Yongjun
The rec_len field in the directory entry is 16 bits, so there was a problem representing rec_len for filesystems with a 64k block size in the case where the directory entry takes the entire 64k block. Unfortunately, there were two schemes that were proposed; one where all zeros meant 65536 and one where all ones (65535) meant 65536. E2fsprogs used 0, whereas the kernel used 65535. Oops. Fortunately this case happens extremely rarely, with the most common case being the lost+found directory, created by mke2fs. So we will be liberal in what we accept, and accept both encodings, but we will continue to encode 65536 as 65535. This will require a change in e2fsprogs, but with fortunately ext4 filesystems normally have the dir_index feature enabled, which precludes having a completely empty directory block.

2009-02-10jbd2: Avoid possible NULL dereference in jbd2_journal_begin_ordered_truncate()Jan Kara
If we race with commit code setting i_transaction to NULL, we could possibly dereference it. Proper locking requires the journal pointer (to access journal->j_list_lock), which we don't have. So we have to change the prototype of the function so that filesystem passes us the journal pointer. Also add a more detailed comment about why the function jbd2_journal_begin_ordered_truncate() does what it does and how it should be used.

2009-02-10Revert "ext4: wait on all pending commits in ext4_sync_fs()"Jan Kara
This undoes commit 14ce0cb411c88681ab8f3a4c9caa7f42e97a3184. Since jbd2_journal_start_commit() is now fixed to return 1 when we started a transaction commit, there's some transaction waiting to be committed or there's a transaction already committing, we don't need to call ext4_force_commit() in ext4_sync_fs(). Furthermore ext4_force_commit() can unnecessarily create sync transaction which is expensive so it's worthwhile to remove it when we can. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12224 Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Cc: linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org

The static function ext4_group_used_meta_blocks() only has one caller, who already has access to the block group's group descriptor. So it's better to have ext4_init_block_bitmap() pass the group descriptor to ext4_group_used_meta_blocks(), so it doesn't need to call ext4_group_desc(). Previously this function did not check if ext4_group_desc() returned NULL due to an error, potentially causing a kernel OOPS report. This avoids the issue entirely.

2009-01-30ext4: Remove bogus BUG() check in ext4_bmap()Theodore Ts'o
The code to support journal-less ext4 operation added a BUG to ext4_bmap() which fired if there was no journal and the EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit was set in the i_state field. This caused running the filefrag program (which uses the FIMBAP ioctl) to trigger a BUG(). The EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit is only used for ext4_bmap(), and it's harmless for the bit to be set. We could add a check in __ext4_journalled_writepage() and ext4_journalled_write_end() to only set the EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit if the journal is present, but that adds an extra test and jump instruction. It's easier to simply remove the BUG check. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12568 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@kernel.org

2009-01-09filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfsTakashi Sato
Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and replication) while it is mounted. In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature and it would be used to get the consistent backup. If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it without a commercial filesystem. So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature. I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps. 1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl. 2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot with the storage device's feature. 3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl. 4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume or the snapshot. This patch: VFS: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they can return an error. Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion. ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed, and unlockfs always returns 0. reiserfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

This mount option is largely superfluous, and in fact the way it was implemented was buggy; if a filesystem which did not have the extents feature flag was mounted -o extents, the filesystem would attempt to create and use extents-based file even though the extents feature flag was not eabled.

2009-01-04fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fixNick Piggin
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).

2009-01-04fs: introduce bgl_lock_ptr()Pekka Enberg
As suggested by Andreas Dilger, introduce a bgl_lock_ptr() helper in <linux/blockgroup_lock.h> and add separate sb_bgl_lock() helpers to filesystem specific header files to break the hidden dependency to struct ext[234]_sb_info. Also, while at it, convert the macros to static inlines to try make up for all the times I broke Andrew Morton's tree.

2009-01-06ext4: Remove code to create the journal inodeTheodore Ts'o
This code has been obsolete in quite some time, since the supported method for adding a journal inode is to use tune2fs (or to creating new filesystem with a journal via mke2fs or mkfs.ext4). Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-01-05ext4: provide function to release metadata pages under memory pressureToshiyuki Okajima
Pages in the page cache belonging to ext4 data files are released via the ext4_releasepage() function specified in the ext4 inode's address_space_ops. However, metadata blocks (such as indirect blocks, directory blocks, etc) are managed via the block device address_space_ops, and they can not be released by try_to_free_buffers() if they have a journal head attached to them. To address this, we supply a release_metadata function which calls jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() function to free the metadata, and which is called by the block device's blkdev_releasepage() function.

2009-01-05ext4: Fix s_dirty_blocks_counter if block allocation failed with nodelallocAneesh Kumar K.V
With nodelalloc option we need to update the dirty block counter on block allocation failure. This is needed because we increment the dirty block counter early in the block allocation phase. Without the patch s_dirty_blocks_counter goes wrong so that filesystem's free blocks decreases incorrectly.

We need to init the complete page during buddy cache init by setting the contents to '1'.

2009-01-05ext4: Use new buffer_head flag to check uninit group bitmaps initializationAneesh Kumar K.V
For uninit block group, the on-disk bitmap is not initialized. That implies we cannot depend on the uptodate flag on the bitmap buffer_head to find bitmap validity. Use a new buffer_head flag which would be set after we properly initialize the bitmap. This also prevents (re-)initializing the uninit group bitmap every time we call ext4_read_block_bitmap().

2009-01-05ext4: Fix the race between read_inode_bitmap() and ext4_new_inode()Aneesh Kumar K.V
We need to make sure we update the inode bitmap and clear EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT flag with sb_bgl_lock held, since ext4_read_inode_bitmap() looks at EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT to decide whether to initialize the inode bitmap each time it is called. (introduced by commit c806e68f.) ext4_read_inode_bitmap does: spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(EXT4_SB(sb), block_group)); if (desc->bg_flags & cpu_to_le16(EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT)) { ext4_init_inode_bitmap(sb, bh, block_group, desc); and ext4_new_inode does if (!ext4_set_bit_atomic(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, group), ino, inode_bitmap_bh->b_data)) ...... ... spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, group)); gdp->bg_flags &= cpu_to_le16(~EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT); i.e., on allocation we update the bitmap then we take the sb_bgl_lock and clear the EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT flag. What can happen is a parallel ext4_read_inode_bitmap can zero out the bitmap in between the above ext4_set_bit_atomic and spin_lock(sb_bg_lock..) The race results in below user visible errors EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_free_inode: bit already cleared for inode 168449 EXT4-fs warning (device sdb1): ext4_unlink: Deleting nonexistent file ...
