Fix a corruption that can happen when we have (two or more) outstanding
aio's to an overlapping unaligned region. Ext4
(e9e3bcecf4) and xfs recently had to fix
similar issues.
In our case what happens is that we can have an outstanding aio on a region
and if a write comes in with some bytes overlapping the original aio we may
decide to read that region into a page before continuing (typically because
of buffered-io fallback). Since we have no ordering guarantees with the
aio, we can read stale or bad data into the page and then write it back out.
If the i/o is page and block aligned, then we avoid this issue as there
won't be any need to read data from disk.
I took the same approach as Eric in the ext4 patch and introduced some
serialization of unaligned async direct i/o. I don't expect this to have an
effect on the most common cases of AIO. Unaligned aio will be slower
though, but that's far more acceptable than data corruption.

When a hole spans across page boundaries, the next write forces
a read of the block. This could end up reading existing garbage
data from the disk in ocfs2_map_page_blocks. This leads to
non-zero holes. In order to avoid this, mark the writes as new
when the holes span across page boundaries.

mlog_exit is used to record the exit status of a function.
But because it is added in so many functions, if we enable it,
the system logs get filled up quickly and cause too much I/O.
So actually no one can open it for a production system or even
for a test.
This patch just try to remove it or change it. So:
1. if all the error paths already use mlog_errno, it is just removed.
Otherwise, it will be replaced by mlog_errno.
2. if it is used to print some return value, it is replaced with
mlog(0,...).
mlog_exit_ptr is changed to mlog(0.

Recently, one of our colleagues meet with a problem that if we
write/delete a 32mb files repeatly, we will get an ENOSPC in
the end. And the corresponding bug is 1288.
http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1288
The real problem is that although we have freed the clusters,
they are in truncate log and they will be summed up so that
we can free them once in a whole.
So this patch just try to resolve it. In case we see -ENOSPC
in ocfs2_write_begin_no_lock, we will check whether the truncate
log has enough clusters for our need, if yes, we will try to
flush the truncate log at that point and try again. This method
is inspired by Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>. Thanks.

Filesystems with unwritten extent support must not complete an AIO request

When ocfs2 fills a hole, it does so by allocating clusters. When a
cluster is larger than the write, ocfs2 must zero the portions of the
cluster outside of the write. If the clustersize is smaller than a
pagecache page, this is handled by the normal pagecache mechanisms, but
when the clustersize is larger than a page, ocfs2's write code will zero
the pages adjacent to the write. This makes sure the entire cluster is
zeroed correctly.
Currently ocfs2 behaves exactly the same when writing past i_size.
However, this means ocfs2 is writing zeroed pages for portions of a new
cluster that are beyond i_size. The page writeback code isn't expecting
this. It treats all pages past the one containing i_size as left behind
due to a previous truncate operation.
Thankfully, ocfs2 calculates the number of pages it will be working on
up front. The rest of the write code merely honors the original
calculation. We can simply trim the number of pages to only cover the
actual file data.

ocfs2's allocation unit is the cluster. This can be larger than a block
or even a memory page. This means that a file may have many blocks in
its last extent that are beyond the block containing i_size. There also
may be more unwritten extents after that.
When ocfs2 grows a file, it zeros the entire cluster in order to ensure
future i_size growth will see cleared blocks. Unfortunately,
block_write_full_page() drops the pages past i_size. This means that
ocfs2 is actually leaking garbage data into the tail end of that last
cluster. This is a bug.
We adjust ocfs2_write_begin_nolock() and ocfs2_extend_file() to detect
when a write or truncate is past i_size. They will use
ocfs2_zero_extend() to ensure the data is properly zeroed.
Older versions of ocfs2_zero_extend() simply zeroed every block between
i_size and the zeroing position. This presumes three things:
1) There is allocation for all of these blocks.
2) The extents are not unwritten.
3) The extents are not refcounted.
(1) and (2) hold true for non-sparse filesystems, which used to be the
only users of ocfs2_zero_extend(). (3) is another bug.
Since we're now using ocfs2_zero_extend() for sparse filesystems as
well, we teach ocfs2_zero_extend() to check every extent between
i_size and the zeroing position. If the extent is unwritten, it is
ignored. If it is refcounted, it is CoWed. Then it is zeroed.

Currently the locking in blockdev_direct_IO is a mess, we have three
different locking types and very confusing checks for some of them. The
most complicated one is DIO_OWN_LOCKING for reads, which happens to not
actually be used.
This patch gets rid of the DIO_OWN_LOCKING - as mentioned above the read
case is unused anyway, and the write side is almost identical to
DIO_NO_LOCKING. The difference is that DIO_NO_LOCKING always sets the
create argument for the get_blocks callback to zero, but we can easily
move that to the actual get_blocks callbacks. There are four users of the
DIO_NO_LOCKING mode: gfs already ignores the create argument and thus is
fine with the new version, ocfs2 only errors out if create were ever set,
and we can remove this dead code now, the block device code only ever uses
create for an error message if we are fully beyond the device which can
never happen, and last but not least XFS will need the new behavour for
writes.
Now we can replace the lock_type variable with a flags one, where no flag
means the DIO_NO_LOCKING behaviour and DIO_LOCKING is kept as the first
flag. Separate out the check for not allowing to fill holes into a
separate flag, although for now both flags always get set at the same
time.
Also revamp the documentation of the locking scheme to actually make
sense.

In ocfs2_file_aio_write, we will prevent direct io if
we find that we are appending(changing i_size) and call
generic_file_aio_write_nolock. But actually O_DIRECT flag
is there and this function will call generic_file_direct_write
eventually which will update i_size and leave di->i_size
alone. The bug is
http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1173.
So this patch let ocfs2_direct_IO returns 0 directly if we
are appending so that buffered write will be called and
di->i_size get updated successfully. And this is also
what we want in ocfs2_file_aio_write.

The ocfs2 code currently reads inodes off disk with a simple

validate the block number (the block read vs di->i_blkno). A couple
others check for VALID_FL. Only one place validates i_fs_generation. A
couple check nothing. Even when an error is found, they don't all do
the same thing.
We wrap inode reading into ocfs2_read_inode_block(). This will validate
all the above fields, going readonly if they are invalid (they never
should be). ocfs2_read_inode_block_full() is provided for the places
that want to pass read_block flags. Every caller is passing a struct
inode with a valid ip_blkno, so we don't need a separate blkno argument

ocfs2 wants JBD2 for many reasons, not the least of which is that JBD is

It's a pretty trivial change. Most functions are just renamed. The
only functional change is moving to Jan's inode-based ordered data mode.
It's better, too.
Because JBD2 reads and writes JBD journals, this is compatible with any
existing filesystem. It can even interact with JBD-based ocfs2 as long
as the journal is formated for JBD.
We provide a compatibility option so that paranoid people can still use
JBD for the time being. This will go away shortly.

A better way is to make ocfs2_extent_tree a first-class object.
Everyone converts their object to an ocfs2_extent_tree() via the
ocfs2_get_*_extent_tree() calls, then uses the ocfs2_extent_tree for all
tree calls to alloc.c.
