Commit 9933fc0i (ext4: introduce ext4_kvmalloc(), ext4_kzalloc(), and
ext4_kvfree()) intruduced wrappers around k*alloc/vmalloc but introduced
a typo for ext4_kzalloc() by not using kzalloc() but kmalloc().

Before this patch, parallel resizers are allowed and protected by a
mutex lock, actually, there is no need to support parallel resizer, so
this patch prevents parallel resizers by atmoic bit ops, like
lock_page() and unlock_page() do.
To do this, the patch removed the mutex lock s_resize_lock from struct
ext4_sb_info and added a unsigned long field named s_resize_flags
which inidicates if there is a resizer.

Kazuya Mio reported that he was able to hit BUG_ON(next == lblock)
in ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache() while creating a sparse file in extent
format and fill the tail of file up to its end. We will hit the BUG_ON
when we write the last block (2^32-1) into the sparse file.
The root cause of the problem lies in the fact that we specifically set
s_maxbytes so that block at s_maxbytes fit into on-disk extent format,
which is 32 bit long. However, we are not storing start and end block
number, but rather start block number and length in blocks. It means
that in order to cover extent from 0 to EXT_MAX_BLOCK we need
EXT_MAX_BLOCK+1 to fit into len (because we counting block 0 as well) -
and it does not.
The only way to fix it without changing the meaning of the struct
ext4_extent members is, as Kazuya Mio suggested, to lower s_maxbytes
by one fs block so we can cover the whole extent we can get by the
on-disk extent format.
Also in many places EXT_MAX_BLOCK is used as length instead of maximum
logical block number as the name suggests, it is all a bit messy. So
this commit renames it to EXT_MAX_BLOCKS and change its usage in some
places to actually be maximum number of blocks in the extent.
The bug which this commit fixes can be reproduced as follows:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=<blocksize> count=1 seek=$((2**32-2))
sync
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=<blocksize> count=1 seek=$((2**32-1))

After creating an ext4 file system without a journal:
# mke2fs -t ext4 -O ^has_journal /dev/sda
# mount -t ext4 /dev/sda /test
the /proc/mounts will show:
"/dev/sda /test ext4 rw,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=writeback 0 0"
which can fool users into thinking that the fs is using writeback mode.
So don't set the writeback option when the journal has not been
enabled; we don't depend on the writeback option being set, since
ext4_should_writeback_data() in ext4_jbd2.h tests to see if the
journal is not present before returning true.

In order to make lazyinit eat approx. 10% of io bandwidth at max, we
are sleeping between zeroing each single inode table. For that purpose
we are using timer which wakes up thread when it expires. It is set
via add_timer() and this may cause troubles in the case that thread
has been woken up earlier and in next iteration we call add_timer() on
still running timer hence hitting BUG_ON in add_timer(). We could fix
that by using mod_timer() instead however we can use
schedule_timeout_interruptible() for waiting and hence simplifying
things a lot.
This commit exchange the old "waiting mechanism" with simple
schedule_timeout_interruptible(), setting the time to sleep. Hence we
do not longer need li_wait_daemon waiting queue and others, so get rid

Provide better emulation for ext[23] mode by enforcing that the file
system does not have any unsupported file system features as defined
by ext[23] when emulating the ext[23] file system driver when
CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23 is defined.
This causes the file system type information in /proc/mounts to be
correct for the automatically mounted root file system. This also
means that "mount -t ext2 /dev/sda /mnt" will fail if /dev/sda
contains an ext3 or ext4 file system, just as one would expect if the

ext4 has a data corruption case when doing non-block-aligned
asynchronous direct IO into a sparse file, as demonstrated
by xfstest 240.
The root cause is that while ext4 preallocates space in the
hole, mappings of that space still look "new" and
dio_zero_block() will zero out the unwritten portions. When
more than one AIO thread is going, they both find this "new"
block and race to zero out their portion; this is uncoordinated
and causes data corruption.
Dave Chinner fixed this for xfs by simply serializing all
unaligned asynchronous direct IO. I've done the same here.
The difference is that we only wait on conversions, not all IO.
This is a very big hammer, and I'm not very pleased with
stuffing this into ext4_file_write(). But since ext4 is
DIO_LOCKING, we need to serialize it at this high level.
I tried to move this into ext4_ext_direct_IO, but by then
we have the i_mutex already, and we will wait on the
work queue to do conversions - which must also take the
i_mutex. So that won't work.
This was originally exposed by qemu-kvm installing to
a raw disk image with a normal sector-63 alignment. I've
tested a backport of this patch with qemu, and it does
avoid the corruption. It is also quite a lot slower
(14 min for package installs, vs. 8 min for well-aligned)
but I'll take slow correctness over fast corruption any day.
Mingming suggested that we can track outstanding
conversions, and wait on those so that non-sparse
files won't be affected, and I've implemented that here;
unaligned AIO to nonsparse files won't take a perf hit.

As Al Viro pointed out path resolution during Q_QUOTAON calls to quotactl
is prone to deadlocks. We hold s_umount semaphore for reading during the
path resolution and resolution itself may need to acquire the semaphore
for writing when e. g. autofs mountpoint is passed.
Solve the problem by performing the resolution before we get hold of the
superblock (and thus s_umount semaphore). The whole thing is complicated
by the fact that some filesystems (OCFS2) ignore the path argument. So to
distinguish between filesystem which want the path and which do not we
introduce new .quota_on_meta callback which does not get the path. OCFS2
then uses this callback instead of old .quota_on.
