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.

2013-10-17ext4: fix performance regression in ext4_writepagesMing Lei1-13/+13
Commit 4e7ea81db5(ext4: restructure writeback path) introduces another performance regression on random write: - one more page may be added to ext4 extent in mpage_prepare_extent_to_map, and will be submitted for I/O so nr_to_write will become -1 before 'done' is set - the worse thing is that dirty pages may still be retrieved from page cache after nr_to_write becomes negative, so lots of small chunks can be submitted to block device when page writeback is catching up with write path, and performance is hurted. On one arm A15 board with sata 3.0 SSD(CPU: 1.5GHz dura core, RAM: 2GB, SATA controller: 3.0Gbps), this patch can improve below test's result from 157MB/sec to 174MB/sec(>10%): dd if=/dev/zero of=./z.img bs=8K count=512K The above test is actually prototype of block write in bonnie++ utility. This patch makes sure no more pages than nr_to_write can be added to extent for mapping, so that nr_to_write won't become negative.

2013-09-16ext4: fix performance regression in writeback of random writesJan Kara1-1/+1
The Linux Kernel Performance project guys have reported that commit 4e7ea81db5 introduces a performance regression for the following fio workload: [global] direct=0 ioengine=mmap size=1500M bs=4k pre_read=1 numjobs=1 overwrite=1 loops=5 runtime=300 group_reporting invalidate=0 directory=/mnt/ file_service_type=random:36 file_service_type=random:36 [job0] startdelay=0 rw=randrw filename=data0/f1:data0/f2 [job1] startdelay=0 rw=randrw filename=data0/f2:data0/f1 ... [job7] startdelay=0 rw=randrw filename=data0/f2:data0/f1 The culprit of the problem is that after the commit ext4_writepages() are more aggressive in writing back pages. Thus we have less consecutive dirty pages resulting in more seeking. This increased aggressivity is caused by a bug in the condition terminating ext4_writepages(). We start writing from the beginning of the file even if we should have terminated ext4_writepages() because wbc->nr_to_write <= 0. After fixing the condition the throughput of the fio workload is about 20% better than before writeback reorganization.

2013-09-10fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count APIDave Chinner1-9/+24
Convert the filesystem shrinkers to use the new API, and standardise some of the behaviours of the shrinkers at the same time. For example, nr_to_scan means the number of objects to scan, not the number of objects to free. I refactored the CIFS idmap shrinker a little - it really needs to be broken up into a shrinker per tree and keep an item count with the tree root so that we don't need to walk the tree every time the shrinker needs to count the number of objects in the tree (i.e. all the time under memory pressure).

Add support to the core direct-io code to defer AIO completions to user context using a workqueue. This replaces opencoded and less efficient code in XFS and ext4 (we save a memory allocation for each direct IO) and will be needed to properly support O_(D)SYNC for AIO. The communication between the filesystem and the direct I/O code requires a new buffer head flag, which is a bit ugly but not avoidable until the direct I/O code stops abusing the buffer_head structure for communicating with the filesystems. Currently this creates a per-superblock unbound workqueue for these completions, which is taken from an earlier patch by Jan Kara. I'm not really convinced about this use and would prefer a "normal" global workqueue with a high concurrency limit, but this needs further discussion.

2013-08-28ext4: allow specifying external journal by pathname mount optionEric Sandeen1-3/+44
It's always been a hassle that if an external journal's device number changes, the filesystem won't mount. And since boot-time enumeration can change, device number changes aren't unusual. The current mechanism to update the journal location is by passing in a mount option w/ a new devnum, but that's a hassle; it's a manual approach, fixing things after the fact. Adding a mount option, "-o journal_path=/dev/$DEVICE" would help, since then we can do i.e. # mount -o journal_path=/dev/disk/by-label/$JOURNAL_LABEL ... and it'll mount even if the devnum has changed, as shown here: # losetup /dev/loop0 journalfile # mke2fs -L mylabel-journal -O journal_dev /dev/loop0 # mkfs.ext4 -L mylabel -J device=/dev/loop0 /dev/sdb1 Change the journal device number: # losetup -d /dev/loop0 # losetup /dev/loop1 journalfile And today it will fail: # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so # dmesg | tail -n 1 [17343.240702] EXT4-fs (sdb1): error: couldn't read superblock of external journal But with this new mount option, we can specify the new path: # mount -o journal_path=/dev/loop1 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test # (which does update the encoded device number, incidentally): # umount /dev/sdb1 # dumpe2fs -h /dev/sdb1 | grep "Journal device" dumpe2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010) Journal device: 0x0701 But best of all we can just always mount by journal-path, and it'll always work: # mount -o journal_path=/dev/disk/by-label/mylabel-journal /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test # So the journal_path option can be specified in fstab, and as long as the disk is available somewhere, and findable by label (or by UUID), we can mount.

2013-08-28ext4: mark block group as corrupt on block bitmap errorDarrick J. Wong3-3/+31
When we notice a block-bitmap corruption (because of device failure or something else), we should mark this group as corrupt and prevent further block allocations/deallocations from it. Currently, we end up generating one error message for every block in the bitmap. This potentially could make the system unstable as noticed in some bugs. With this patch, the error will be printed only the first time and mark the entire block group as corrupted. This prevents future access allocations/deallocations from it. Also tested by corrupting the block bitmap and forcefully introducing the mb_free_blocks error: (1) create a largefile (2Gb) $ dd if=/dev/zero of=largefile oflag=direct bs=10485760 count=200 (2) umount filesystem. use dumpe2fs to see which block-bitmaps are in use by largefile and note their block numbers (3) use dd to zero-out the used block bitmaps $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdc4 bs=4096 seek=14 count=8 oflag=direct (4) mount the FS and delete the largefile.

2013-08-28ext4: fix type declaration of ext4_validate_block_bitmapDarrick J. Wong2-3/+3

2013-08-28ext4: error out if verifying the block bitmap failsDarrick J. Wong1-2/+6
The block bitmap verification code assumes that calling ext4_error() either panics the system or makes the fs readonly. However, this is not always true: when 'errors=continue' is specified, an error is printed but we don't return any indication of error to the caller, which is (probably) the block allocator, which pretends that the crud we read in off the disk is a usable bitmap. Yuck. A block bitmap that fails the check should at least return no bitmap to the caller. The block allocator should be told to go look in a different group, but that's a separate issue. The easiest way to reproduce this is to modify bg_block_bitmap (on a ^flex_bg fs) to point to a block outside the block group; or you can create a metadata_csum filesystem and zero out the block bitmaps.

2013-08-28ext4: isolate ext4_extents.h fileZheng Liu7-29/+27
After applied the commit (4a092d73), we have reduced the number of source files that need to #include ext4_extents.h. But we can do better. This commit defines ext4_zeroout_es() in extents.c and move EXT_MAX_BLOCKS into ext4.h in order not to include ext4_extents.h in indirect.c and ioctl.c. Meanwhile we just need to include this file in extent_status.c when ES_AGGRESSIVE_TEST is defined. Otherwise, this commit removes a duplicated declaration in trace/events/ext4.h. After applied this patch, we just need to include ext4_extents.h file in {super,migrate,move_extents,extents}.c, and it is easy for us to define a new extent disk layout.

2013-08-17ext4: fix lost truncate due to race with writebackJan Kara2-9/+32
The following race can lead to a loss of i_disksize update from truncate thus resulting in a wrong inode size if the inode size isn't updated again before inode is reclaimed: ext4_setattr() mpage_map_and_submit_extent() EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize = attr->ia_size; ... ... disksize = ((loff_t)mpd->first_page) << PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT /* False because i_size isn't * updated yet */ if (disksize > i_size_read(inode)) /* True, because i_disksize is * already truncated */ if (disksize > EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize) /* Overwrite i_disksize * update from truncate */ ext4_update_i_disksize() i_size_write(inode, attr->ia_size); For other places updating i_disksize such race cannot happen because i_mutex prevents these races. Writeback is the only place where we do not hold i_mutex and we cannot grab it there because of lock ordering. We fix the race by doing both i_disksize and i_size update in truncate atomically under i_data_sem and in mpage_map_and_submit_extent() we move the check against i_size under i_data_sem as well.

2013-08-17ext4: fix ext4_writepages() in presence of truncateJan Kara1-41/+66
Inode size can arbitrarily change while writeback is in progress. When ext4_writepages() has prepared a long extent for mapping and truncate then reduces i_size, mpage_map_and_submit_buffers() will always map just one buffer in a page instead of all of them due to lblk < blocks check. So we end up not using all blocks we've allocated (thus leaking them) and also delalloc accounting goes wrong manifesting as a warning like: ext4_da_release_space:1333: ext4_da_release_space: ino 12, to_free 1 with only 0 reserved data blocks Note that the problem can happen only when blocksize < pagesize because otherwise we have only a single buffer in the page. Fix the problem by removing the size check from the mapping loop. We have an extent allocated so we have to use it all before checking for i_size. We also rename add_page_bufs_to_extent() to mpage_process_page_bufs() and make that function submit the page for IO if all buffers (upto EOF) in it are mapped.

2013-08-17ext4: fix warning in ext4_da_update_reserve_space()Jan Kara3-5/+20
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. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2013-08-16ext4: avoid reusing recently deleted inodes in no journal modeTheodore Ts'o1-0/+51
In no journal mode, if an inode has recently been deleted, we shouldn't reuse it right away. Otherwise it's possible, after an unclean shutdown, to hit a situation where a recently deleted inode gets reused for some other purpose before the inode table block has been written to disk. However, if the directory entry has been updated, then the directory entry will be pointing at the old inode contents. E2fsck will make sure the file system is consistent after the unclean shutdown. However, if the recently deleted inode is a character mode device, or an inode with the immutable bit set, even after the file system has been fixed up by e2fsck, it can be possible for a *.pyc file to be pointing at a character mode device, and when python tries to open the *.pyc file, Hilarity Ensues. We could change all of userspace to be very suspicious about stat'ing files before opening them, and clearing the immutable flag if necessary --- or we can just avoid reusing an inode number if it has been recently deleted.

2013-08-16ext4: allocate delayed allocation blocks before renameTheodore Ts'o1-5/+7
When ext4_rename() overwrites an already existing file, call ext4_alloc_da_blocks() before starting the journal handle which actually does the rename, instead of doing this afterwards. This improves the likelihood that the contents will survive a crash if an application replaces a file using the sequence: 1) write replacement contents to foo.new 2) <omit fsync of foo.new> 3) rename foo.new to foo It is still not a guarantee, since ext4_alloc_da_blocks() is *not* doing a file integrity sync; this means if foo.new is a very large file, it may not be completely flushed out to disk. However, for files smaller than a megabyte or so, any dirty pages should be flushed out before we do the rename operation, and so at the next journal commit, the CACHE FLUSH command will make sure al of these pages are safely on the disk platter.

2013-08-16ext4: add support for extent pre-cachingTheodore Ts'o4-29/+136
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. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
