This patch adds nanosecond timestamps for ext4. This involves adding
*time_extra fields to the ext4_inode to extend the timestamps to
64-bits. Creation time is also added by this patch.
These extended fields will fit into an inode if the filesystem was
formatted with large inodes (-I 256 or larger) and there are currently
no EAs consuming all of the available space. For new inodes we always
reserve enough space for the kernel's known extended fields, but for
inodes created with an old kernel this might not have been the case. So
this patch also adds the EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE feature
flag(ro-compat so that older kernels can't create inodes with a smaller
extra_isize). which indicates if the fields fitting inside
s_min_extra_isize are available or not. If the expansion of inodes if
unsuccessful then this feature will be disabled. This feature is only
enabled if requested by the sysadmin.
None of the extended inode fields is critical for correct filesystem
operation.

After ext3 orphan list check has been added into ext3_destroy_inode()
(please see my previous patch) the following situation has been detected:
EXT3-fs warning (device sda6): ext3_unlink: Deleting nonexistent file (37901290), 0
Inode 00000101a15b7840: orphan list check failed!
00000773 6f665f00 74616d72 00000573 65725f00 06737270 66000000 616d726f
...

[<ffffffff80110aba>] system_call+0x7e/0x83
First messages said that unlinked inode has i_nlink=0, then ext3_unlink()
adds this inode into orphan list.
Second message means that this inode has not been removed from orphan list.
Inode dump has showed that i_fop = &bad_file_ops and it can be set in
make_bad_inode() only. Then I've found that ext3_read_inode() can call
make_bad_inode() without any error/warning messages, for example in the
following case:
...
if (inode->i_nlink == 0) {
if (inode->i_mode == 0 ||
!(EXT3_SB(inode->i_sb)->s_mount_state & EXT3_ORPHAN_FS)) {
/* this inode is deleted */
brelse (bh);
goto bad_inode;
...
Bad inode can live some time, ext3_unlink can add it to orphan list, but
ext3_delete_inode() do not deleted this inode from orphan list. As result
we can have orphan list corruption detected in ext3_destroy_inode().
However it is not clear for me how to fix this issue correctly.
As far as i see is_bad_inode() is called after iget() in all places
excluding ext3_lookup() and ext3_get_parent(). I believe it makes sense to
add bad inode check to these functions too and call iput if bad inode
detected.

- ext3_dx_find_entry() exit with out setting proper error pointer
- do_split() exit with out setting proper error pointer
it is realy painful because many callers contain folowing code:
de = do_split(handle,dir, &bh, frame, &hinfo, &retval);
if (!(de))
return retval;
<<< WOW retval wasn't changed by do_split(), so caller failed
<<< but return SUCCESS :)
- Rearrange do_split() error path. Current error path is realy ugly, all
this up and down jump stuff doesn't make code easy to understand.

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

- Naming is confusing, ext3_inc_count manipulates i_nlink not i_count
- handle argument passed in is not used

Return -ENOENT from ext[34]_link if we've raced with unlink and i_nlink is
0. Doing otherwise has the potential to corrupt the orphan inode list,
because we'd wind up with an inode with a non-zero link count on the list,
and it will never get properly cleaned up & removed from the orphan list
before it is freed.

I've been using Steve Grubb's purely evil "fsfuzzer" tool, at
http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/fsfuzzer-0.4.tar.gz
Basically it makes a filesystem, splats some random bits over it, then
tries to mount it and do some simple filesystem actions.
At best, the filesystem catches the corruption gracefully. At worst,
things spin out of control.
As you might guess, we found a couple places in ext4 where things spin out
of control :)
First, we had a corrupted directory that was never checked for
consistency... it was corrupt, and pointed to another bad "entry" of
length 0. The for() loop looped forever, since the length of
ext4_next_entry(de) was 0, and we kept looking at the same pointer over and
over and over and over... I modeled this check and subsequent action on
what is done for other directory types in ext4_readdir...
(adding this check adds some computational expense; I am testing a followup
patch to reduce the number of times we check and re-check these directory
entries, in all cases. Thanks for the idea, Andreas).
Next we had a root directory inode which had a corrupted size, claimed to
be > 200M on a 4M filesystem. There was only really 1 block in the
directory, but because the size was so large, readdir kept coming back for
more, spewing thousands of printk's along the way.
Per Andreas' suggestion, if we're in this read error condition and we're
trying to read an offset which is greater than i_blocks worth of bytes,
stop trying, and break out of the loop.
With these two changes fsfuzz test survives quite well on ext4.
