c5c72d814c ext4: fix online resizing for ext3-compat file systems
Commit fb0a387dcd restricts block allocations for indirect-mapped
files to block groups less than s_blockfile_groups.  However, the
online resizing code wasn't setting s_blockfile_groups, so the newly
added block groups were not available for non-extent mapped files.

bd86298e60 ext4: introduce ext4_get_group_number()
Currently on many places in ext4 we're using
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() even though we're only interested in
knowing the block group of the particular block, not the offset within
the block group so we can use more efficient way to compute block
group.

This patch introduces ext4_get_group_number() which computes block
group for a given block much more efficiently. Use this function
instead of ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() everywhere where we're only
interested in knowing the block group.

90ba983f68 ext4: use atomic64_t for the per-flexbg free_clusters count
A user who was using a 8TB+ file system and with a very large flexbg
size (> 65536) could cause the atomic_t used in the struct flex_groups
to overflow.  This was detected by PaX security patchset:

http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3289&p=12551#p12551

This bug was introduced in commit 9f24e4208f, so it's been around
since 2.6.30.  :-(

Fix this by using an atomic64_t for struct orlav_stats's
free_clusters.

9924a92a8c ext4: pass context information to jbd2__journal_start()
So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for
long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass
context information for logging purposes.

The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is:

   T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
   EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats
   echo "interval > 5" > $EVENT/filter
   echo 1 > $EVENT/enable

   ./run-my-fs-benchmark

   cat $T/trace > /tmp/problem-handles

This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms.  Having
longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong
time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an
fsync() or an O_SYNC operation.  Here is an example line from the
trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over
1.2 seconds:

postmark-2917  [000] ....   196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32

79f1ba4956 ext4: Checksum the block bitmap properly with bigalloc enabled
In mke2fs, we only checksum the whole bitmap block and it is right.
While in the kernel, we use EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP to indicate the
size of the checksumed bitmap which is wrong when we enable bigalloc.
The right size should be EXT4_CLUSTERS_PER_GROUP and this patch fixes
it.

Also as every caller of ext4_block_bitmap_csum_set and
ext4_block_bitmap_csum_verify pass in EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)/8,
we'd better removes this parameter and sets it in the function itself.

0acdb8876f ext4: don't call update_backups() multiple times for the same bg
When performing an online resize, we add a bunch of groups at one time
in ext4_flex_group_add, so in most cases a lot of group descriptors
will be in the same group block. But in the end of this function,
update_backups will be called for every group descriptor and the same
block will be copied and journalled again and again.  It is really a
waste.

Fix things so we only update a particular bg descriptor block once and
skip subsequent updates of the same block.

bef53b01fa ext4: remove erroneous ext4_superblock_csum_set() in update_backups()
The update_backups() function is used to backup all the metadata
blocks, so we should not take it for granted that 'data' is pointed to
a super block and use ext4_superblock_csum_set to calculate the
checksum there.  In case where the data is a group descriptor block,
it will corrupt the last group descriptor, and then e2fsck will
complain about it it.

As all the metadata checksums should already be OK when we do the
backup, remove the wrong ext4_superblock_csum_set and it should be
just fine.

59e31c156a ext4: fix online resizing when the # of block groups is constant
Commit 1c6bd7173d introduced a regression where an online resize
operation which did not change the number of block groups would fail,
i.e:

	mke2fs -t /dev/vdc 60000
	mount /dev/vdc
	resize2fs /dev/vdc 60001

This was due to a bug in the logic regarding when to try converting
the filesystem to use meta_bg.

Also fix up a number of other minor issues with the online resizing
code: (a) Fix a sparse warning; (b) only check to make sure the device
is large enough once, instead of multiple times through the resize
loop.

Previously, we allocated the s_flex_groups array to the maximum size
that the file system could be resized.  There was two problems with
this approach.  First, it wasted memory in the common case where the
file system was not resized.  Secondly, once we start allowing online
resizing using the meta_bg scheme, there is no maximum size that the
file system can be resized.  So instead, we need to grow the
s_flex_groups at inline resize time.

a0ade1deb8 ext4: fix resize when resizing within single group
When resizing file system in the way that the new size of the file
system is still in the same group (no new groups are added), then we can
hit a BUG_ON in ext4_alloc_group_tables()

BUG_ON(flex_gd->count == 0 || group_data == NULL);

because flex_gd->count is zero. The reason is the missing check for such
case, so the code always extend the last group fully and then attempt to
add more groups, but at that time n_blocks_count is actually smaller
than o_blocks_count.

It can be easily reproduced like this:

mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 /dev/sda 30M
mount /dev/sda /mnt/test
resize2fs /dev/sda 50M

Fix this by checking whether the resize happens within the singe group
and only add that many blocks into the last group to satisfy user
request. Then o_blocks_count == n_blocks_count and the resize will exit
successfully without and attempt to add more groups into the fs.

Also fix mixing together block number and blocks count which might be
confusing and can easily lead to off-by-one errors (but it is actually
not the case here since the two occurrence of this mix-up will cancel
each other).

like bigalloc and exclude bitmap. Besides these, user-space tools just
passes in the new number of blocks.

is very fast like mkfs.
