This is for Red Hat bug 490026: EXT4 panic, list corruption in ext4_mb_new_inode_pa ext4_lock_group(sb, group) is supposed to protect this list for each group, and a common code flow to remove an album is like this: ext4_get_group_no_and_offset(sb, pa->pa_pstart, &grp, NULL); ext4_lock_group(sb, grp); list_del(&pa->pa_group_list); ext4_unlock_group(sb, grp); so it's critical that we get the right group number back for this prealloc context, to lock the right group (the one associated with this pa) and prevent concurrent list manipulation. however, ext4_mb_put_pa() passes in (pa->pa_pstart - 1) with a comment, "-1 is to protect from crossing allocation group". This makes sense for the group_pa, where pa_pstart is advanced by the length which has been used (in ext4_mb_release_context()), and when the entire length has been used, pa_pstart has been advanced to the first block of the next group. However, for inode_pa, pa_pstart is never advanced; it's just set once to the first block in the group and not moved after that. So in this case, if we subtract one in ext4_mb_put_pa(), we are actually locking the *previous* group, and opening the race with the other threads which do not subtract off the extra block.

Fix that an another (apparently rare) codepath with a similar check. Reported-by:

When bg_free_blocks_count was renamed to bg_free_blocks_count_lo in 560671a0, its uses under EXT4FS_DEBUG were not changed to the helper ext4_free_blks_count. Another commit, 498e5f24, also did not change everything needed under EXT4FS_DEBUG, thus making it spill some warnings related to printing format. This commit fixes both issues and makes ext4 build again when EXT4FS_DEBUG is enabled. Signed-off-by:

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. Tested-by:

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().

We need to make sure we update the block bitmap and clear EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT flag with sb_bgl_lock held, since ext4_read_block_bitmap() looks at EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT to decide whether to initialize the block bitmap each time it is called (introduced by commit c806e68f), and this can race with block allocations in ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used(). ext4_read_block_bitmap does: spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(EXT4_SB(sb), block_group)); if (desc->bg_flags & cpu_to_le16(EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT)) { ext4_init_block_bitmap(sb, bh, block_group, desc); Now on the block allocation side we do mb_set_bits(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, ac->ac_b_ex.fe_group), bitmap_bh->b_data, ac->ac_b_ex.fe_start, ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len); .... spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, ac->ac_b_ex.fe_group)); if (gdp->bg_flags & cpu_to_le16(EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT)) { gdp->bg_flags &= cpu_to_le16(~EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT); ie on allocation we update the bitmap then we take the sb_bgl_lock and clear the EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT flag. What can happen is a parallel ext4_read_block_bitmap can zero out the bitmap in between the above mb_set_bits and spin_lock(sb_bg_lock..) The race results in below user visible errors EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_mb_release_inode_pa: free 100, pa_free 105 EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): mb_free_blocks: double-free of inode 0's block ..

The mballoc code likes to call ext4_error while it is holding locked block groups. This can causes a scheduling in atomic context BUG. We can't just unlock the block group and relock it after/if ext4_error returns since that might result in race conditions in the case where the filesystem is set to continue after finding errors.

In ext4_mb_init_group(), if the filesystem block size is less than PAGE_SIZE/2, the code tries to grab alloc_sem for multiple block groups in a loop. We need to allow for this by using down_write_nested() and passing in the loop index as a lock subclass number. This works because no other code path needs to take multiple alloc_sem's. Note that lockdep will fail for filesystem blocksize smaller than to PAGE_SIZE/16k. (e.g., a 1k filesystem blocksize with a 32k page size, or a 2k filesystem blocksize with a 64k blocksize, etc.) Signed-off-by:

The new groups added during resize are flagged as need_init group. Make sure we properly initialize these groups. When we have block size < page size and we are adding new groups the page may still be marked uptodate even though we haven't initialized the group. While forcing the init of buddy cache we need to make sure other groups part of the same page of buddy cache is not using the cache. group_info->alloc_sem is added to ensure the same. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by: -

This fixes a bug which caused on-line resizing of filesystems with a 1k blocksize to fail. The root cause of this bug was the fact that if an uninitalized bitmap block gets read in by userspace (which e2fsprogs does try to avoid, but can happen when the blocksize is less than the pagesize and an adjacent blocks is read into memory) ext4_read_block_bitmap() was erroneously depending on the buffer uptodate flag to decide whether it needed to initialize the bitmap block in memory --- i.e., to set the standard set of blocks in use by a block group (superblock, bitmaps, inode table, etc.). Essentially, ext4_read_block_bitmap() assumed it was the only routine that might try to read a block containing a block bitmap, which is simply not true. To fix this, ext4_read_block_bitmap() and ext4_read_inode_bitmap() must always initialize uninitialized bitmap blocks. Once a block or inode is allocated out of that bitmap, it will be marked as initialized in the block group descriptor, so in general this won't result any extra unnecessary work. Signed-off-by:

ext4 creates per-suberblock directory in /proc/ext4/ . Name used as basis is taken from bdevname, which, surprise, can contain slash. However, proc while allowing to use proc_create("a/b", parent) form of PDE creation, assumes that parent/a was already created. bdevname in question is 'cciss/c0d0p9', directory is not created and all this stuff goes directly into /proc (which is real bug).

During block reservation if we don't have enough blocks left, retry block reservation with smaller block counts. This makes sure we try fallocate and DIO with smaller request size and don't fail early. The delayed allocation reservation cannot try with smaller block count. So retry block reservation to handle temporary disk full conditions. Also print free blocks details if we fail block allocation during writepages. Signed-off-by:
