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: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

When we generate buddy cache (especially during resize) we need to make sure we don't use the blocks freed but not yet comitted. This makes sure we have the right value of free blocks count in the group info and also in the bitmap. This also ensures the ordered mode consistency Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@kernel.org

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.

With this change new blocks added during resize are marked as free in the block bitmap and the group is flagged with EXT4_GROUP_INFO_NEED_INIT_BIT flag.

This patch removes the static sleep time in favor of a more self optimizing approach where we measure the average amount of time it takes to commit a transaction to disk and the ammount of time a transaction has been running. If somebody does a sync write or an fsync() traditionally we would sleep for 1 jiffies, which depending on the value of HZ could be a significant amount of time compared to how long it takes to commit a transaction to the underlying storage. With this patch instead of sleeping for a jiffie, we check to see if the amount of time this transaction has been running is less than the average commit time, and if it is we sleep for the delta using schedule_hrtimeout to give us a higher precision sleep time. This greatly benefits high end storage where you could end up sleeping for longer than it takes to commit the transaction and therefore sitting idle instead of allowing the transaction to be committed by keeping the sleep time to a minimum so you are sure to always be doing something.

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.

The inode table has been zeroed in setup_new_group_blocks(). Mark it as such in ext4_group_add(). Since we are currently clearing inode table for the new block group, we should set the EXT4_BG_INODE_ZEROED flag. If at some point in the future we don't immediately zero out the inode table as part of the resize operation, then obviously we shouldn't do this.

If the filesystem has errors, ext4_da_writepages() will return a *lot* of errors, including lots and lots of stack dumps. While it's true that we are dropping user data on the floor, which is unfortunate, the stack dumps aren't helpful, and they tend to obscure the true original root cause of the problem. So in the case where the filesystem has aborted, return an EROFS right away. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

The convenience function do_blk_alloc() is a static function with only one caller, so fold it into ext4_new_meta_blocks() to simplify the code and to make it easier to understand. To save more stack space, if count is a null pointer in ext4_new_meta_blocks() assume that caller wanted a single block (and if there is an error, no blocks were allocated).

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).

The function viafb_cursor() uses 2 stack-variables of CURSOR_SIZE bits; CURSOR_SIZE is defined as (8 * 1024). Using up twice 1k on stack is too much for 4k-stack (though it works with 8k-stacks). Make those two variables kzalloc'ed to preserve stack space. Also merge the whole lot of local struct's in viafb_ioctl into a union so the stack usage gets minimized here as well. (struct's are only accessed in their indicidual IOCTL case) This second part is only compile-tested as I know of no userspace app using the IOCTLs.
