ext4: fix overflow when counting used blocks on 32-bit architectures

2013-07-21T00:16:08+00:00

commit 8af8eecc1331dbf5e8c662022272cf667e213da5 upstream.

The arithmetics adding delalloc blocks to the number of used blocks in
ext4_getattr() can easily overflow on 32-bit archs as we first multiply
number of blocks by blocksize and then divide back by 512. Make the
arithmetics more clever and also use proper type (unsigned long long
instead of unsigned long).

ext4/jbd2: don't wait (forever) for stale tid caused by wraparound

2013-05-08T03:33:14+00:00

commit d76a3a77113db020d9bb1e894822869410450bd9 upstream.

In the case where an inode has a very stale transaction id (tid) in
i_datasync_tid or i_sync_tid, it's possible that after a very large
(2**31) number of transactions, that the tid number space might wrap,
causing tid_geq()'s calculations to fail.

Commit deeeaf13 "jbd2: fix fsync() tid wraparound bug", later modified
by commit e7b04ac0 "jbd2: don't wake kjournald unnecessarily",
attempted to fix this problem, but it only avoided kjournald spinning
forever by fixing the logic in jbd2_log_start_commit().

Unfortunately, in the codepaths in fs/ext4/fsync.c and fs/ext4/inode.c
that might call jbd2_log_start_commit() with a stale tid, those
functions will subsequently call jbd2_log_wait_commit() with the same
stale tid, and then wait for a very long time.  To fix this, we
replace the calls to jbd2_log_start_commit() and
jbd2_log_wait_commit() with a call to a new function,
jbd2_complete_transaction(), which will correctly handle stale tid's.

As a bonus, jbd2_complete_transaction() will avoid locking
j_state_lock for writing unless a commit needs to be started.  This
should have a small (but probably not measurable) improvement for
ext4's scalability.

ext4: fix data=journal fast mount/umount hang

2013-03-20T13:42:11+00:00

In data=journal mode, if we unmount the file system before a
transaction has a chance to complete, when the journal inode is being
evicted, we can end up calling into jbd2_log_wait_commit() for the
last transaction, after the journalling machinery has been shut down.

Arguably we should adjust ext4_should_journal_data() to return FALSE
for the journal inode, but the only place it matters is
ext4_evict_inode(), and so to save a bit of CPU time, and to make the
patch much more obviously correct by inspection(tm), we'll fix it by
explicitly not trying to waiting for a journal commit when we are
evicting the journal inode, since it's guaranteed to never succeed in
this case.

This can be easily replicated via: 

     mount -t ext4 -o data=journal /dev/vdb /vdb ; umount /vdb

ext4: fix ext4_evict_inode() racing against workqueue processing code

2013-03-20T13:39:42+00:00

Commit 84c17543ab56 (ext4: move work from io_end to inode) triggered a
regression when running xfstest #270 when the file system is mounted
with dioread_nolock.

The problem is that after ext4_evict_inode() calls ext4_ioend_wait(),
this guarantees that last io_end structure has been freed, but it does
not guarantee that the workqueue structure, which was moved into the
inode by commit 84c17543ab56, is actually finished.  Once
ext4_flush_completed_IO() calls ext4_free_io_end() on CPU #1, this
will allow ext4_ioend_wait() to return on CPU #2, at which point the
evict_inode() codepath can race against the workqueue code on CPU #1
accessing EXT4_I(inode)->i_unwritten_work to find the next item of
work to do.

Fix this by calling cancel_work_sync() in ext4_ioend_wait(), which
will be renamed ext4_ioend_shutdown(), since it is only used by
ext4_evict_inode().  Also, move the call to ext4_ioend_shutdown()
until after truncate_inode_pages() and filemap_write_and_wait() are
called, to make sure all dirty pages have been written back and
flushed from the page cache first.

ext4: reserve metadata block for every delayed write

2013-03-11T02:50:00+00:00

Currently we only reserve space (data+metadata) in delayed allocation if
we're allocating from new cluster (which is always in non-bigalloc file
system) which is ok for data blocks, because we reserve the whole cluster.

However we have to reserve metadata for every delayed block we're going
to write because every block could potentially require metedata block
when we need to grow the extent tree.

ext4: do not use yield()

2013-03-11T02:28:09+00:00

Using yield() is strongly discouraged (see sched/core.c) especially
since we can just use cond_resched().

Replace all use of yield() with cond_resched().

ext4: fix WARN_ON from ext4_releasepage()

2013-03-11T02:19:00+00:00

ext4_releasepage() warns when it is passed a page with PageChecked set.
However this can correctly happen when invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
invalidates pages - and we should fail the release in that case. Since
the page was dirty anyway, it won't be discarded and no harm has
happened but it's good to be safe. Also remove bogus page_has_buffers()
check - we are guaranteed page has buffers in this function.

ext4: update extent status tree after an extent is zeroed out

2013-03-11T01:13:05+00:00

When we try to split an extent, this extent could be zeroed out and mark
as initialized.  But we don't know this in ext4_map_blocks because it
only returns a length of allocated extent.  Meanwhile we will mark this
extent as uninitialized because we only check m_flags.

This commit update extent status tree when we try to split an unwritten
extent.  We don't need to worry about the status of this extent because
we always mark it as initialized.
