The ext4_bg_has_super() function doesn't know about the new rules for
where backup superblocks go on a sparse_super2 filesystem. Therefore,
block bitmap initialization doesn't know that it shouldn't reserve
space for backups in groups that are never going to contain backups.
The result of this is e2fsck complaining about the block bitmap being
incorrect (fortunately not in a way that results in cross-linked
files), so fix the whole thing.

When we perform a data integrity sync we tag all the dirty pages with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE at start of ext4_da_writepages. Later we check
for this tag in write_cache_pages_da and creates a struct
mpage_da_data containing contiguously indexed pages tagged with this
tag and sync these pages with a call to mpage_da_map_and_submit. This
process is done in while loop until all the PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE
pages are synced. We also do journal start and stop in each iteration.
journal_stop could initiate journal commit which would call
ext4_writepage which in turn will call ext4_bio_write_page even for
delayed OR unwritten buffers. When ext4_bio_write_page is called for
such buffers, even though it does not sync them but it clears the
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE of the corresponding page and hence these pages
are also not synced by the currently running data integrity sync. We
will end up with dirty pages although sync is completed.
This could cause a potential data loss when the sync call is followed
by a truncate_pagecache call, which is exactly the case in
collapse_range. (It will cause generic/127 failure in xfstests)
To avoid this issue, we can use set_page_writeback_keepwrite instead of
set_page_writeback, which doesn't clear TOWRITE tag.

Currently in ext4 there is quite a mess when it comes to naming
unwritten extents. Sometimes we call it uninitialized and sometimes we
refer to it as unwritten.
The right name for the extent which has been allocated but does not
contain any written data is _unwritten_. Other file systems are
using this name consistently, even the buffer head state refers to it as
unwritten. We need to fix this confusion in ext4.
This commit changes every reference to an uninitialized extent (meaning
allocated but unwritten) to unwritten extent. This includes comments,
function names and variable names. It even covers abbreviation of the
word uninitialized (such as uninit) and some misspellings.
This commit does not change any of the code paths at all. This has been
confirmed by comparing md5sums of the assembly code of each object file
after all the function names were stripped from it.

Currently EXT4_MAP_UNINIT is used in dioread_nolock case to mark the
cases where we're using dioread_nolock and we're writing into either
unallocated, or unwritten extent, because we need to make sure that
any DIO write into that inode will wait for the extent conversion.
However EXT4_MAP_UNINIT is not only entirely misleading name but also
unnecessary because we can check for EXT4_MAP_UNWRITTEN in the
dioread_nolock case instead.

Introduce new FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE flag for fallocate. This has the same
functionality as xfs ioctl XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE.
It can be used to convert a range of file to zeros preferably without
issuing data IO. Blocks should be preallocated for the regions that span
holes in the file, and the entire range is preferable converted to
unwritten extents
This can be also used to preallocate blocks past EOF in the same way as

This patch implements fallocate's FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE for Ext4.
The semantics of this flag are following:
1) It collapses the range lying between offset and length by removing any data
blocks which are present in this range and than updates all the logical
offsets of extents beyond "offset + len" to nullify the hole created by
removing blocks. In short, it does not leave a hole.
2) It should be used exclusively. No other fallocate flag in combination.
3) Offset and length supplied to fallocate should be fs block size aligned
in case of xfs and ext4.
4) Collaspe range does not work beyond i_size.

Add support to the core direct-io code to defer AIO completions to user
context using a workqueue. This replaces opencoded and less efficient
code in XFS and ext4 (we save a memory allocation for each direct IO)
and will be needed to properly support O_(D)SYNC for AIO.
The communication between the filesystem and the direct I/O code requires
a new buffer head flag, which is a bit ugly but not avoidable until the
direct I/O code stops abusing the buffer_head structure for communicating
with the filesystems.
Currently this creates a per-superblock unbound workqueue for these
completions, which is taken from an earlier patch by Jan Kara. I'm
not really convinced about this use and would prefer a "normal" global
workqueue with a high concurrency limit, but this needs further discussion.

When we notice a block-bitmap corruption (because of device failure or
something else), we should mark this group as corrupt and prevent
further block allocations/deallocations from it. Currently, we end up
generating one error message for every block in the bitmap. This
potentially could make the system unstable as noticed in some
bugs. With this patch, the error will be printed only the first time
and mark the entire block group as corrupted. This prevents future
access allocations/deallocations from it.
Also tested by corrupting the block
bitmap and forcefully introducing the mb_free_blocks error:
(1) create a largefile (2Gb)
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=largefile oflag=direct bs=10485760 count=200
(2) umount filesystem. use dumpe2fs to see which block-bitmaps
are in use by largefile and note their block numbers
(3) use dd to zero-out the used block bitmaps
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdc4 bs=4096 seek=14 count=8 oflag=direct
(4) mount the FS and delete the largefile.
(5) recreate the largefile. verify that the new largefile does not
get any blocks from the groups marked as bad.
Without the patch, we will see mb_free_blocks error for each bit in
each zero'ed out bitmap at (4). With the patch, we only see the error
once per blockgroup:

The following race can lead to a loss of i_disksize update from truncate
thus resulting in a wrong inode size if the inode size isn't updated
again before inode is reclaimed:
ext4_setattr() mpage_map_and_submit_extent()
EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize = attr->ia_size;
... ...
disksize = ((loff_t)mpd->first_page) << PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT
/* False because i_size isn't
* updated yet */
if (disksize > i_size_read(inode))
/* True, because i_disksize is
* already truncated */
if (disksize > EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize)
/* Overwrite i_disksize
* update from truncate */
ext4_update_i_disksize()
i_size_write(inode, attr->ia_size);
For other places updating i_disksize such race cannot happen because
i_mutex prevents these races. Writeback is the only place where we do
not hold i_mutex and we cannot grab it there because of lock ordering.
We fix the race by doing both i_disksize and i_size update in truncate
atomically under i_data_sem and in mpage_map_and_submit_extent() we move
the check against i_size under i_data_sem as well.

reaim workfile.dbase test easily triggers warning in

EXT4-fs warning (device ram0): ext4_da_update_reserve_space:365:
ino 12, allocated 1 with only 0 reserved metadata blocks (releasing 1
blocks with reserved 9 data blocks)
The problem is that (one of) tests creates file and then randomly writes
to it with O_SYNC. That results in writing back pages of the file in
random order so we create extents for written blocks say 0, 2, 4, 6, 8
- this last allocation also allocates new block for extents. Then we
writeout block 1 so we have extents 0-2, 4, 6, 8 and we release
indirect extent block because extents fit in the inode again. Then we
writeout block 10 and we need to allocate indirect extent block again
which triggers the warning because we don't have the reservation
anymore.
Fix the problem by giving back freed metadata blocks resulting from
extent merging into inode's reservation pool.

Add a new fiemap flag which forces the all of the extents in an inode
to be cached in the extent_status tree. This is critically important
when using AIO to a preallocated file, since if we need to read in
blocks from the extent tree, the io_submit(2) system call becomes
synchronous, and the AIO is no longer "A", which is bad.
In addition, for most files which have an external leaf tree block,
the cost of caching the information in the extent status tree will be
less than caching the entire 4k block in the buffer cache. So it is
generally a win to keep the extent information cached.

When we read in an extent tree leaf block from disk, arrange to have
all of its entries cached. In nearly all cases the in-memory
representation will be more compact than the on-disk representation in
the buffer cache, and it allows us to get the information without
having to traverse the extent tree for successive extents.

Commit 0713ed0cde added
jbd2_journal_file_inode() call into ext4_block_zero_page_range().
However that function gets called from truncate path and thus inode
needn't have jinode attached - that happens in ext4_file_open() but
the file needn't be ever open since mount. Calling
jbd2_journal_file_inode() without jinode attached results in the oops.
We fix the problem by attaching jinode to inode also in ext4_truncate()
and ext4_punch_hole() when we are going to zero out partial blocks.

category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the
block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks
on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or
ia64 systems.)
In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was
significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc
file systems. In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the
write submission code path. We also improved error checking and added
a few sanity checks.
In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve
mention. The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for
nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode. This allows writes to be
submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of
being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then
relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block
queue). Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was
introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the
i_es_lru spinlock. Other optimizations include some changes to reduce
CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily.

Merge tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4
Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
"Lots of bug fixes, cleanups and optimizations. In the bug fixes
category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the
block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks
on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or
ia64 systems.)
In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was
significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc
file systems. In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the
write submission code path. We also improved error checking and added
a few sanity checks.
In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve
mention. The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for
nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode. This allows writes to be
submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of
being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then
relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block
queue). Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was
introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the
i_es_lru spinlock. Other optimizations include some changes to reduce
CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily."

Now we maintain an proper in-order LRU list in ext4 to reclaim entries
from extent status tree when we are under heavy memory pressure. For
keeping this order, a spin lock is used to protect this list. But this
lock burns a lot of CPU time. We can use the following steps to trigger
it.
% cd /dev/shm
% dd if=/dev/zero of=ext4-img bs=1M count=2k
% mkfs.ext4 ext4-img
% mount -t ext4 -o loop ext4-img /mnt
% cd /mnt
% for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do truncate -s 64g $i; done
% for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do cp $i /dev/null &; done
% perf record -a -g
% perf report
This commit tries to fix this problem. Now a new member called
i_touch_when is added into ext4_inode_info to record the last access
time for an inode. Meanwhile we never need to keep a proper in-order
LRU list. So this can avoid to burns some CPU time. When we try to
reclaim some entries from extent status tree, we use list_sort() to get
a proper in-order list. Then we traverse this list to discard some
entries. In ext4_sb_info, we use s_es_last_sorted to record the last
time of sorting this list. When we traverse the list, we skip the inode
that is newer than this time, and move this inode to the tail of LRU
list. When the head of the list is newer than s_es_last_sorted, we will
sort the LRU list again.
In this commit, we break the loop if s_extent_cache_cnt == 0 because
that means that all extents in extent status tree have been reclaimed.
Meanwhile in this commit, ext4_es_{un}register_shrinker()'s prototype is
changed to save a local variable in these functions.

The group number passed to ext4_get_group_info() should be valid, but
let's add an assert to check this before we start creating a pointer
based on that group number and dereferencing it.

Now that we clear PageWriteback after extent conversion, there's no
need to wait for io_end processing in ext4_evict_inode(). Running
AIO/DIO keeps file reference until aio_complete() is called so
ext4_evict_inode() cannot be called. For io_end structures resulting
from buffered IO waiting is happening because we wait for
PageWriteback in truncate_inode_pages().

We don't have to wait for extent conversion in ext4_punch_hole() as
buffered IO for the punched range has been flushed and waited upon
(thus all extent conversions for that range have completed). Also we
wait for all DIO to finish using inode_dio_wait() so there cannot be
any extent conversions pending due to direct IO.
Also remove ext4_flush_unwritten_io() since it's unused now.

Currently PageWriteback bit gets cleared from put_io_page() called
from ext4_end_bio(). This is somewhat inconvenient as extent tree is
not fully updated at that time (unwritten extents are not marked as
written) so we cannot read the data back yet. This design was
dictated by lock ordering as we cannot start a transaction while
PageWriteback bit is set (we could easily deadlock with
ext4_da_writepages()). But now that we use transaction reservation
for extent conversion, locking issues are solved and we can move
PageWriteback bit clearing after extent conversion is done. As a
result we can remove wait for unwritten extent conversion from
ext4_sync_file() because it already implicitely happens through
wait_on_page_writeback().
We implement deferring of PageWriteback clearing by queueing completed
bios to appropriate io_end and processing all the pages when io_end is
going to be freed instead of at the moment ext4_io_end() is called.

Now that we have extent conversions with reserved transaction, we have
to prevent extent conversions without reserved transaction (from DIO
code) to block these (as that would effectively void any transaction
reservation we did). So split lists, work items, and work queues to
reserved and unreserved parts.

Later we would like to clear PageWriteback bit only after extent
conversion from unwritten to written extents is performed. However it
is not possible to start a transaction after PageWriteback is set
because that violates lock ordering (and is easy to deadlock). So we
have to reserve a transaction before locking pages and sending them
for IO and later we use the transaction for extent conversion from
ext4_end_io().

There isn't any need for setting BH_Uninit on buffers anymore. It was
only used to signal we need to mark io_end as needing extent
conversion in add_bh_to_extent() but now we can mark the io_end
directly when mapping extent.

There are two issues with current writeback path in ext4. For one we
don't necessarily map complete pages when blocksize < pagesize and
thus needn't do any writeback in one iteration. We always map some
blocks though so we will eventually finish mapping the page. Just if
writeback races with other operations on the file, forward progress is
not really guaranteed. The second problem is that current code
structure makes it hard to associate all the bios to some range of
pages with one io_end structure so that unwritten extents can be
converted after all the bios are finished. This will be especially
difficult later when io_end will be associated with reserved
transaction handle.
We restructure the writeback path to a relatively simple loop which
first prepares extent of pages, then maps one or more extents so that
no page is partially mapped, and once page is fully mapped it is
submitted for IO. We keep all the mapping and IO submission
information in mpage_da_data structure to somewhat reduce stack usage.
Resulting code is somewhat shorter than the old one and hopefully also
easier to read.

We limit the number of blocks written in a single loop of
ext4_da_writepages() to 64 when inode uses indirect blocks. That is
unnecessary as credit estimates for mapping logically continguous run
of blocks is rather low even for inode with indirect blocks. So just
lift this limitation and properly calculate the number of necessary
credits.
This better credit estimate will also later allow us to always write
at least a single page in one iteration.

ext4_ind_trans_blocks() wrongly used 'chunk' argument to decide whether
blocks mapped are logically contiguous. That is wrong since the argument
informs whether the blocks are physically contiguous. As the blocks
mapped are always logically contiguous and that's all
ext4_ind_trans_blocks() cares about, just remove the 'chunk' argument.
