ext4: remove unaligned AIO warning printk

2012-12-25T18:33:13+00:00

Although I put this in, I now think it was a bad decision.  For most
users, there is very little to be done in this case.  They get the
message, once per day, with no real context or proposed action.  TBH,
it generates support calls when it probably does not need to; the
message sounds more dire than the situation really is.

Just nuke it.  Normal investigation via blktrace or whatnot can
reveal poor IO patterns if bad performance is encountered.

lseek: the "whence" argument is called "whence"

ext4: Remove CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR

2012-12-10T21:30:43+00:00

Ted has sent out a RFC about removing this feature. Eric and Jan
confirmed that both RedHat and SUSE enable this feature in all their
product.  David also said that "As far as I know, it's enabled in all
Android kernels that use ext4."  So it seems OK for us.

And what's more, as inline data depends its implementation on xattr,
and to be frank, I don't run any test again inline data enabled while
xattr disabled.  So I think we should add inline data and remove this
config option in the same release.

[ The savings if you disable CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR is only 27k, which
  isn't much in the grand scheme of things.  Since no one seems to be
  testing this configuration except for some automated compile farms, on
  balance we are better removing this config option, and so that it is
  effectively always enabled. -- tytso ]

ext4: introduce lseek SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE support

2012-11-09T02:57:40+00:00

This patch makes ext4 really support SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE flags.  Block-mapped
and extent-mapped files are fully implemented together because ext4_map_blocks
hides this differences.

After applying this patch, it will cause a failure in xfstest #285 when the file
is block-mapped due to block-mapped file isn't support fallocate(2).

I had tried to use ext4_ext_walk_space() to retrieve the offset for a
extent-mapped file.  But finally I decide to keep using ext4_map_blocks() to
support SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE because ext4_map_blocks() can hide the difference
between block-mapped file and extent-mapped file.  Moreover, in next step,
extent status tree will track all extent status, and we can get all mappings
from this tree.  So I think that using ext4_map_blocks() is a better choice.

mm: kill vma flag VM_CAN_NONLINEAR

2012-10-09T07:22:17+00:00

Move actual pte filling for non-linear file mappings into the new special
vma operation: ->remap_pages().

Filesystems must implement this method to get non-linear mapping support,
if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used.

Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support.

ext4: fix ext4_flush_completed_IO wait semantics

2012-10-05T15:31:55+00:00

BUG #1) All places where we call ext4_flush_completed_IO are broken
    because buffered io and DIO/AIO goes through three stages
    1) submitted io,
    2) completed io (in i_completed_io_list) conversion pended
    3) finished  io (conversion done)
    And by calling ext4_flush_completed_IO we will flush only
    requests which were in (2) stage, which is wrong because:
     1) punch_hole and truncate _must_ wait for all outstanding unwritten io
      regardless to it's state.
     2) fsync and nolock_dio_read should also wait because there is
        a time window between end_page_writeback() and ext4_add_complete_io()
        As result integrity fsync is broken in case of buffered write
        to fallocated region:
        fsync                                      blkdev_completion
	 ->filemap_write_and_wait_range
                                                   ->ext4_end_bio
                                                     ->end_page_writeback
          <-- filemap_write_and_wait_range return
	 ->ext4_flush_completed_IO
   	 sees empty i_completed_io_list but pended
   	 conversion still exist
                                                     ->ext4_add_complete_io

BUG #2) Race window becomes wider due to the 'ext4: completed_io
locking cleanup V4' patch series

This patch make following changes:
1) ext4_flush_completed_io() now first try to flush completed io and when
   wait for any outstanding unwritten io via ext4_unwritten_wait()
2) Rename function to more appropriate name.
3) Assert that all callers of ext4_flush_unwritten_io should hold i_mutex to
   prevent endless wait

 "The usual collection of bug fixes and optimizations.  Perhaps of
  greatest note is a speed up for parallel, non-allocating DIO writes,

  slightly incorrect results for df(1) and statfs(2).  We also fixed

The last user of ext4_mark_super_dirty() in ext4_file_open() is so
rare it can well be modifying the superblock properly by journalling
the change.  Change it and get rid of ext4_mark_super_dirty() as it's
not needed anymore.

Artem: small amendments.
