Gao Xiang has reported that on ext4 O_SYNC direct IO does not properly
sync file size update and thus if we crash at unfortunate moment, the
file can have smaller size although O_SYNC IO has reported successful
completion. The problem happens because update of on-disk inode size is
handled in ext4_dio_write_iter() *after* iomap_dio_rw() (and thus
dio_complete() in particular) has returned and generic_file_sync() gets
called by dio_complete(). Fix the problem by handling on-disk inode size
update directly in our ->end_io completion handler.

syzbot reports that the following warning from ext4_iomap_begin()
triggers as of the commit referenced below:
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(ext4_has_inline_data(inode)))
return -ERANGE;
This occurs during a dio write, which is never expected to encounter
an inode with inline data. To enforce this behavior,
ext4_dio_write_iter() checks the current inline state of the inode
and clears the MAY_INLINE_DATA state flag to either fall back to
buffered writes, or enforce that any other writers in progress on
the inode are not allowed to create inline data.
The problem is that the check for existing inline data and the state
flag can span a lock cycle. For example, if the ilock is originally
locked shared and subsequently upgraded to exclusive, another writer
may have reacquired the lock and created inline data before the dio
write task acquires the lock and proceeds.
The commit referenced below loosens the lock requirements to allow
some forms of unaligned dio writes to occur under shared lock, but
AFAICT the inline data check was technically already racy for any
dio write that would have involved a lock cycle. Regardless, lift
clearing of the state bit to the same lock critical section that
checks for preexisting inline data on the inode to close the race.

The commit referenced below opened up concurrent unaligned dio under
shared locking for pure overwrites. In doing so, it enabled use of
the IOMAP_DIO_OVERWRITE_ONLY flag and added a warning on unexpected
-EAGAIN returns as an extra precaution, since ext4 does not retry
writes in such cases. The flag itself is advisory in this case since
ext4 checks for unaligned I/Os and uses appropriate locking up
front, rather than on a retry in response to -EAGAIN.
As it turns out, the warning check is susceptible to false positives
because there are scenarios where -EAGAIN can be expected from lower
layers without necessarily having IOCB_NOWAIT set on the iocb. For
example, one instance of the warning has been seen where io_uring
sets IOCB_HIPRI, which in turn results in REQ_POLLED|REQ_NOWAIT on
the bio. This results in -EAGAIN if the block layer is unable to
allocate a request, etc. [Note that there is an outstanding patch to
untangle REQ_POLLED and REQ_NOWAIT such that the latter relies on
IOCB_NOWAIT, which would also address this instance of the warning.]
Another instance of the warning has been reproduced by syzbot. A dio
write is interrupted down in __get_user_pages_locked() waiting on
the mm lock and returns -EAGAIN up the stack. If the iomap dio
iteration layer has made no progress on the write to this point,
-EAGAIN returns up to the filesystem and triggers the warning.
This use of the overwrite flag in ext4 is precautionary and
half-baked. I.e., ext4 doesn't actually implement overwrite checking
in the iomap callbacks when the flag is set, so the only extra
verification it provides are i_size checks in the generic iomap dio
layer. Combined with the tendency for false positives, the added
verification is not worth the extra trouble. Remove the flag,
associated warning, and update the comments to document when
concurrent unaligned dio writes are allowed and why said flag is not
used.

Remove the unnecessary encoding of page order into an enum and pass the
page order directly. That lets us get rid of pe_order().
The switch constructs have to be changed to if/else constructs to prevent
GCC from warning on builds with 3-level page tables where PMD_ORDER and
PUD_ORDER have the same value.
If you are looking at this commit because your driver stopped compiling,
look at the previous commit as well and audit your driver to be sure it

We've had reports of significant performance regression of sub-block
(unaligned) direct writes due to the added exclusivity restrictions
in ext4. The purpose of the exclusivity requirement for unaligned
direct writes is to avoid data corruption caused by unserialized
partial block zeroing in the iomap dio layer across overlapping
writes.
XFS has similar requirements for the same underlying reasons, yet
doesn't suffer the extreme performance regression that ext4 does.
The reason for this is that XFS utilizes IOMAP_DIO_OVERWRITE_ONLY
mode, which allows for optimistic submission of concurrent unaligned
I/O and kicks back writes that require partial block zeroing such
that they can be submitted in a safe, exclusive context. Since ext4
already performs most of these checks pre-submission, it can support
something similar without necessarily relying on the iomap flag and
associated retry mechanism.
Update the dio write submission path to allow concurrent submission
of unaligned direct writes that are purely overwrite and so will not
require block zeroing. To improve readability of the various related
checks, move the unaligned I/O handling down into
ext4_dio_write_checks(), where the dio draining and force wait logic
can immediately follow the locking requirement checks. Finally, the
IOMAP_DIO_OVERWRITE_ONLY flag is set to enable a warning check as a
precaution should the ext4 overwrite logic ever become inconsistent
with the zeroing expectations of iomap dio.
The performance improvement of sub-block direct write I/O is shown
in the following fio test on a 64xcpu guest vm:
Test: fio --name=test --ioengine=libaio --direct=1 --group_reporting
--overwrite=1 --thread --size=10G --filename=/mnt/fio

Some filesystems support multiple threads writing to the same file with
O_DIRECT without requiring exclusive access to it. io_uring can use this
hint to avoid serializing dio writes to this inode, instead allowing them
to run in parallel.
XFS and ext4 both fall into this category, so set the flag for both of
them.

In the dio write path, we only take shared inode lock for the case of
aligned overwriting initialized blocks inside EOF. But for overwriting
preallocated blocks, it may only need to split unwritten extents, this
procedure has been protected under i_data_sem lock, it's safe to
release the exclusive inode lock and take shared inode lock.

The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic
xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to
interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to
userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to
understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of
making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are
building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode
operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths
easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1].
The current inode operation for getting posix acls takes an inode
argument but various filesystems (e.g., 9p, cifs, overlayfs) need access
to the dentry. In contrast to the ->set_acl() inode operation we cannot
simply extend ->get_acl() to take a dentry argument. The ->get_acl()
inode operation is called from:
acl_permission_check()
-> check_acl()
-> get_acl()
which is part of generic_permission() which in turn is part of
inode_permission(). Both generic_permission() and inode_permission() are
called in the ->permission() handler of various filesystems (e.g.,
overlayfs). So simply passing a dentry argument to ->get_acl() would
amount to also having to pass a dentry argument to ->permission(). We
should avoid this unnecessary change.
So instead of extending the existing inode operation rename it from
->get_acl() to ->get_inode_acl() and add a ->get_acl() method later that
passes a dentry argument and which filesystems that need access to the
dentry can implement instead of ->get_inode_acl(). Filesystems like cifs
which allow setting and getting posix acls but not using them for
permission checking during lookup can simply not implement
->get_inode_acl().
This is intended to be a non-functional change.

When inode is created and written to using direct IO, there is nothing
to clear the EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag. Thus when inode gets
truncated later to say 1 byte and written using normal write, we will
try to store the data as inline data. This confuses the code later
because the inode now has both normal block and inline data allocated

To prepare for STATX_DIOALIGN support, make two changes to
fscrypt_dio_supported().
First, remove the filesystem-block-alignment check and make the
filesystems handle it instead. It previously made sense to have it in
fs/crypto/; however, to support STATX_DIOALIGN the alignment restriction
would have to be returned to filesystems. It ends up being simpler if
filesystems handle this part themselves, especially for f2fs which only
allows fs-block-aligned DIO in the first place.
Second, make fscrypt_dio_supported() work on inodes whose encryption key
hasn't been set up yet, by making it set up the key if needed. This is
required for statx(), since statx() doesn't require a file descriptor.

Encrypted files traditionally haven't supported DIO, due to the need to
encrypt/decrypt the data. However, when the encryption is implemented
using inline encryption (blk-crypto) instead of the traditional
filesystem-layer encryption, it is straightforward to support DIO.
Therefore, make ext4 support DIO on files that are using inline
encryption. Since ext4 uses iomap for DIO, and fscrypt support was
already added to iomap DIO, this just requires two small changes:
- Let DIO proceed when supported, by checking fscrypt_dio_supported()
instead of assuming that encrypted files never support DIO.
- In ext4_iomap_begin(), use fscrypt_limit_io_blocks() to limit the
length of the mapping in the rare case where a DUN discontiguity
occurs in the middle of an extent. The iomap DIO implementation
requires this, since it assumes that it can submit a bio covering (up
to) the whole mapping, without checking fscrypt constraints itself.

This patch drops all calls to ext4_fc_start_update() and
ext4_fc_stop_update(). To ensure that there are no ongoing journal
updates during fast commit, we also make jbd2_fc_begin_commit() lock
journal for updates. This way we don't have to maintain two different
transaction start stop APIs for fast commit and full commit. This
patch doesn't remove the functions altogether since in future we want
to have inode level locking for fast commits.

Functions gfs2_file_read_iter and gfs2_file_write_iter are both
accessing the user buffer to write to or read from while holding the
inode glock. In the most basic scenario, that buffer will not be
resident and it will be mapped to the same file. Accessing the buffer
will trigger a page fault, and gfs2 will deadlock trying to take the
same inode glock again while trying to handle that fault.
Fix that and similar, more complex scenarios by disabling page faults
while accessing user buffers. To make this work, introduce a small
amount of new infrastructure and fix some bugs that didn't trigger so
far, with page faults enabled.

useful for finishing a request asynchronously when part of the request

iomap_dio_rw again for the rest of the request, passing in the number of

Replace the blk_poll interface that requires the caller to keep a queue
and cookie from the submissions with polling based on the bio.
Polling for the bio itself leads to a few advantages:
- the cookie construction can made entirely private in blk-mq.c
- the caller does not need to remember the request_queue and cookie
separately and thus sidesteps their lifetime issues
- keeping the device and the cookie inside the bio allows to trivially
support polling BIOs remapping by stacking drivers
- a lot of code to propagate the cookie back up the submission path can
be removed entirely.

buffer to a certain state. We can use the frozen trigger, which gets
called when buffer data is frozen and about to be written out to the
journal, to compute block checksums for some buffer types (similarly as
does ocfs2). This avoids unnecessary repeated recomputation of the
checksum (at the cost of larger window where memory corruption won't be
caught by checksumming) and is even necessary when there are
unsynchronized updaters of the checksummed data.
So add superblock and journal trigger type arguments to
ext4_journal_get_write_access() and ext4_journal_get_create_access() so
that frozen triggers can be set accordingly. Also add inode argument to
ext4_walk_page_buffers() and all the callbacks used with that function
for the same purpose. This patch is mostly only a change of prototype of
the above mentioned functions and a few small helpers. Real checksumming
will come later.

Eric has noticed that after pagecache read rework, generic/418 is
occasionally failing for ext4 when blocksize < pagesize. In fact, the
pagecache rework just made hard to hit race in ext4 more likely. The
problem is that since ext4 conversion of direct IO writes to iomap
framework (commit 378f32bab3), we update inode size after direct IO
write only after invalidating page cache. Thus if buffered read sneaks
at unfortunate moment like:
CPU1 - write at offset 1k CPU2 - read from offset 0
iomap_dio_rw(..., IOMAP_DIO_FORCE_WAIT);
ext4_readpage();
ext4_handle_inode_extension()
the read will zero out tail of the page as it still sees smaller inode
size and thus page cache becomes inconsistent with on-disk contents with
all the consequences.
Fix the problem by moving inode size update into end_io handler which
gets called before the page cache is invalidated.

When the first file is opened, ext4 samples the mountpoint of the
filesystem in 64 bytes of the super block. It does so using
strlcpy(), this means that the remaining bytes in the super block
string buffer are untouched. If the mount point before had a longer
path than the current one, it can be reconstructed.
Consider the case where the fs was mounted to "/media/johnjdeveloper"
and later to "/". The super block buffer then contains
"/\x00edia/johnjdeveloper".
This case was seen in the wild and caused confusion how the name
of a developer ands up on the super block of a filesystem used
in production...
Fix this by using strncpy() instead of strlcpy(). The superblock
field is defined to be a fixed-size char array, and it is already
marked using __nonstring in fs/ext4/ext4.h. The consumer of the field
in e2fsprogs already assumes that in the case of a 64+ byte mount
path, that s_last_mounted will not be NUL terminated.

Protect all superblock modifications (including checksum computation)
with a superblock buffer lock. That way we are sure computed checksum
matches current superblock contents (a mismatch could cause checksum
failures in nojournal mode or if an unjournalled superblock update races
with a journalled one). Also we avoid modifying superblock contents
while it is being written out (which can cause DIF/DIX failures if we
are running in nojournal mode).

This patch adds main fast commit commit path handlers. The overall
patch can be divided into two inter-related parts:
(A) Metadata updates tracking
This part consists of helper functions to track changes that need
to be committed during a commit operation. These updates are
maintained by Ext4 in different in-memory queues. Following are
the APIs and their short description that are implemented in this
patch:
- ext4_fc_track_link/unlink/creat() - Track unlink. link and creat
operations
- ext4_fc_track_range() - Track changed logical block offsets
inodes
- ext4_fc_track_inode() - Track inodes
- ext4_fc_mark_ineligible() - Mark file system fast commit
ineligible()
- ext4_fc_start_update() / ext4_fc_stop_update() /
ext4_fc_start_ineligible() / ext4_fc_stop_ineligible() These
functions are useful for co-ordinating inode updates with
commits.
(B) Main commit Path
This part consists of functions to convert updates tracked in
in-memory data structures into on-disk commits. Function
ext4_fc_commit() is the main entry point to commit path.

In the scenario of writing sparse files, the per-inode prealloc list may
be very long, resulting in high overhead for ext4_mb_use_preallocated().
To circumvent this problem, we limit the maximum length of per-inode
prealloc list to 512 and allow users to modify it.
After patching, we observed that the sys ratio of cpu has dropped, and
the system throughput has increased significantly. We created a process
to write the sparse file, and the running time of the process on the
fixed kernel was significantly reduced, as follows:
Running time on unfixed kernel：
[root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat
real 0m2.051s
user 0m0.008s

Running with some debug patches to detect illegal blocking triggered the
extend/unaligned condition in ext4. If ext4 needs to extend the file (and
hence go to buffered IO), or if the app is doing unaligned IO, then ext4
asks the iomap code to wait for IO completion. If the caller asked for
no-wait semantics by setting IOCB_NOWAIT, then ext4 should return -EAGAIN
instead.

ext4_mark_inode_dirty() can fail for real reasons. Ignoring its return
value may lead ext4 to ignore real failures that would result in
corruption / crashes. Harden ext4_mark_inode_dirty error paths to fail
as soon as possible and return errors to the caller whenever
appropriate.
One of the possible scnearios when this bug could affected is that
while creating a new inode, its directory entry gets added
successfully but while writing the inode itself mark_inode_dirty
returns error which is ignored. This would result in inconsistency
that the directory entry points to a non-existent inode.
Ran gce-xfstests smoke tests and verified that there were no
regressions.
