commit 1bd8d6cd3e413d64e543ec3e69ff43e75a1cf1ea upstream.

In the ext4 implementations of SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, make sure we
return -ENXIO for negative offsets instead of banging around inside
the extent code and returning -EFSCORRUPTED.

commit 7d95eddf313c88b24f99d4ca9c2411a4b82fef33 upstream.

Currently, SEEK_HOLE implementation in ext4 may both return that there's
a hole at some offset although that offset already has data and skip
some holes during a search for the next hole. The first problem is
demostrated by:

xfs_io -c "falloc 0 256k" -c "pwrite 0 56k" -c "seek -h 0" file
wrote 57344/57344 bytes at offset 0
56 KiB, 14 ops; 0.0000 sec (2.054 GiB/sec and 538461.5385 ops/sec)
Whence	Result
HOLE	0

Where we can see that SEEK_HOLE wrongly returned offset 0 as containing
a hole although we have written data there. The second problem can be
demonstrated by:

xfs_io -c "falloc 0 256k" -c "pwrite 0 56k" -c "pwrite 128k 8k"
       -c "seek -h 0" file

wrote 57344/57344 bytes at offset 0
56 KiB, 14 ops; 0.0000 sec (1.978 GiB/sec and 518518.5185 ops/sec)
wrote 8192/8192 bytes at offset 131072
8 KiB, 2 ops; 0.0000 sec (2 GiB/sec and 500000.0000 ops/sec)
Whence	Result
HOLE	139264

Where we can see that hole at offsets 56k..128k has been ignored by the
SEEK_HOLE call.

The underlying problem is in the ext4_find_unwritten_pgoff() which is
just buggy. In some cases it fails to update returned offset when it
finds a hole (when no pages are found or when the first found page has
higher index than expected), in some cases conditions for detecting hole
are just missing (we fail to detect a situation where indices of
returned pages are not contiguous).

Fix ext4_find_unwritten_pgoff() to properly detect non-contiguous page
indices and also handle all cases where we got less pages then expected
in one place and handle it properly there.

<title>ext4: fix SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA for blocksize &lt; pagesize</title>

commit fcf5ea10992fbac3c7473a1db33d56a139333cd1 upstream.

ext4_find_unwritten_pgoff() does not properly handle a situation when
starting index is in the middle of a page and blocksize &lt; pagesize. The
following command shows the bug on filesystem with 1k blocksize:

  xfs_io -f -c "falloc 0 4k" \
            -c "pwrite 1k 1k" \
            -c "pwrite 3k 1k" \
            -c "seek -a -r 0" foo

In this example, neither lseek(fd, 1024, SEEK_HOLE) nor lseek(fd, 2048,
SEEK_DATA) will return the correct result.

Fix the problem by neglecting buffers in a page before starting offset.

commit a41537e69b4aa43f0fea02498c2595a81267383b upstream.

O_DIRECT flags can be toggeled via fcntl(F_SETFL). But this value checked
twice inside ext4_file_write_iter() and __generic_file_write() which
result in BUG_ON inside ext4_direct_IO.

Let's initialize iocb-&gt;private unconditionally.

[hujianyang: Backported to 3.10
 - Move initialization of iocb-&gt;private to ext4_file_write() as we don't
   have ext4_file_write_iter(), which is introduced by commit 9b884164.
 - Adjust context to make 'overwrite' changes apply to ext4_file_dio_write()

commit 6e6358fc3c3c862bfe9a5bc029d3f8ce43dc9765 upstream.

We haven't taken i_mutex yet, so we need to use i_size_read().

commit e7293fd146846e2a44d29e0477e0860c60fb856b upstream.

ext4_lblk_t is just u32 so multiplying it by blocksize can easily
overflow for files larger than 4 GB. Fix that by properly typing the
block offsets before shifting.

We (Linux Kernel Performance project) found a regression introduced
by commit:

  f7fec032aa ext4: track all extent status in extent status tree

The commit causes about 20% performance decrease in fio random write
test. Profiler shows that rb_next() uses a lot of CPU time. The call
stack is:

  rb_next
  ext4_es_find_delayed_extent
  ext4_map_blocks
  _ext4_get_block
  ext4_get_block_write
  __blockdev_direct_IO
  ext4_direct_IO
  generic_file_direct_write
  __generic_file_aio_write
  ext4_file_write
  aio_rw_vect_retry
  aio_run_iocb
  do_io_submit
  sys_io_submit
  system_call_fastpath
  io_submit
  td_io_getevents
  io_u_queued_complete
  thread_main
  main
  __libc_start_main

The cause is that ext4_es_find_delayed_extent() doesn't have an
upper bound, it keeps searching until a delayed extent is found.
When there are a lots of non-delayed entries in the extent state
tree, ext4_es_find_delayed_extent() may uses a lot of CPU time.

  The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
  "has -&gt;d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
  to inode.  Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.

  Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
  several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.

  PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."

  ocfs2/dlm: use GFP_ATOMIC inside a spin_lock
