Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which
suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the
filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and
replication) while it is mounted.
In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature
and it would be used to get the consistent backup.
If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
without a commercial filesystem.
So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
with the storage device's feature.
3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
or the snapshot.
This patch:
VFS:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they can return an error.
Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.
ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
and unlockfs always returns 0.
reiserfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

For NR_CPUS >= 16 values, FBC_BATCH is 2*NR_CPUS
Considering more and more distros are using high NR_CPUS values, it makes
sense to use a more sensible value for FBC_BATCH, and get rid of NR_CPUS.
A sensible value is 2*num_online_cpus(), with a minimum value of 32 (This
minimum value helps branch prediction in __percpu_counter_add())
We already have a hotcpu notifier, so we can adjust FBC_BATCH dynamically.
We rename FBC_BATCH to percpu_counter_batch since its not a constant

This mount option is largely superfluous, and in fact the way it was
implemented was buggy; if a filesystem which did not have the extents
feature flag was mounted -o extents, the filesystem would attempt to
create and use extents-based file even though the extents feature flag
was not eabled. The simplest thing to do is to nuke the mount option
entirely. It's not all that useful to force the non-creation of new
extent-based files if the filesystem can support it.

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).

Pages in the page cache belonging to ext4 data files are released via
the ext4_releasepage() function specified in the ext4 inode's
address_space_ops. However, metadata blocks (such as indirect blocks,
directory blocks, etc) are managed via the block device
address_space_ops, and they can not be released by
try_to_free_buffers() if they have a journal head attached to them.
To address this, we supply a release_metadata function which calls
jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() function to free the metadata, and
which is called by the block device's blkdev_releasepage() function.

i.e., on allocation we update the bitmap then we take the sb_bgl_lock

Date: Thu Oct 9 12:50:59 2008 -0400
percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
Before this patch we had the following:
percpu_counter_sum(): return the percpu_counter's value
percpu_counter_sum_and_set(): return the percpu_counter's value, copying
that value into the central value and zeroing the per-cpu counters before
returning.
After this patch, percpu_counter_sum_and_set() has gone, and
percpu_counter_sum() gets the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
functionality.
Problem is, as Eric points out, the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
functionality was racy and wrong. It zeroes out counters on "other" cpus,
without holding any locks which will prevent races agaist updates from
those other CPUS.
This patch reverts 1f7c14c62c. This means
that percpu_counter_sum_and_set() still has the race, but
percpu_counter_sum() does not.
Note that this is not a simple revert - ext4 has since started using
percpu_counter_sum() for its dirty_blocks counter as well.
Note that this revert patch changes percpu_counter_sum() semantics.
Before the patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will bring the counter's
central counter mostly up-to-date, so a following percpu_counter_read()
will return a close value.
After this patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will leave the counter's
central accumulator unaltered, so a subsequent call to
percpu_counter_read() can now return a significantly inaccurate result.
If there is any code in the tree which was introduced after
e8ced39d5e was merged, and which depends
upon the new percpu_counter_sum() semantics, that code will break.

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,

The i_ext_generation was incremented, but never used. Remove it to
slim down the ext4_inode_info structure.

Add new mount options, min_batch_time and max_batch_time, which
controls how long the jbd2 layer should wait for additional filesystem
operations to get batched with a synchronous write transaction.

We can call ext4_mb_check_limits even after successfully allocating
the requested blocks. In that case, make sure we don't overwrite
ac_status if it already has the status AC_STATUS_FOUND. This fixes
the lockdep warning:

This removes annoying blank syslog entries emitted by ext4_error() or
ext4_warning(), since these functions add their own newline.

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.
