ext4: fix wrong assert in ext4_mb_normalize_request()

2014-07-01T03:13:56+00:00

commit b5b60778558cafad17bbcbf63e0310bd3c68eb17 upstream.

The variable "size" is expressed as number of blocks and not as
number of clusters, this could trigger a kernel panic when using
ext4 with the size of a cluster different from the size of a block.

ext4: fix ZERO_RANGE test failure in data journalling

2014-07-01T03:13:56+00:00

commit e1ee60fd89670da61b0a4bda59f8ffb2b8abea63 upstream.

xfstests generic/091 is failing when mounting ext4 with data=journal.
I think that this regression is same problem that occurred prior to collapse
range issue. So ZERO RANGE also need to call ext4_force_commit as
collapse range.

ext4: fix zeroing of page during writeback

2014-07-01T03:13:56+00:00

commit eeece469dedadf3918bad50ad80f4616a0064e90 upstream.

Tail of a page straddling inode size must be zeroed when being written
out due to POSIX requirement that modifications of mmaped page beyond
inode size must not be written to the file. ext4_bio_write_page() did
this only for blocks fully beyond inode size but didn't properly zero
blocks partially beyond inode size. Fix this.

The problem has been uncovered by mmap_11-4 test in openposix test suite
(part of LTP).

ext4: fix data integrity sync in ordered mode

2014-07-01T03:13:56+00:00

commit 1c8349a17137b93f0a83f276c764a6df1b9a116e upstream.

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.

 "These are regression and bug fixes for ext4.

  We had a number of new features in ext4 during this merge window
  (ZERO_RANGE and COLLAPSE_RANGE fallocate modes, renameat, etc.) so
  there were many more regression and bug fixes this time around.  It
  didn't help that xfstests hadn't been fully updated to fully stress

2014-04-19T20:38:21+00:00

Once COLLAPSE RANGE is be disable for ext4 with bigalloc feature till finding
root-cause of problem. It will be enable with fixing that regression of
xfstest(generic 075 and 091) again.

ext4: fix COLLAPSE_RANGE failure with 1KB block size

2014-04-19T20:37:31+00:00

When formatting with 1KB or 2KB(not aligned with PAGE SIZE) block
size, xfstests generic/075 and 091 are failing. The offset supplied to
function truncate_pagecache_range is block size aligned. In this
function start offset is re-aligned to PAGE_SIZE by rounding_up to the
next page boundary.  Due to this rounding up, old data remains in the
page cache when blocksize is less than page size and start offset is
not aligned with page size.  In case of collapse range, we need to
align start offset to page size boundary by doing a round down
operation instead of round up.

ext4: fix extent merging in ext4_ext_shift_path_extents()

2014-04-18T14:55:24+00:00

There is a bug in ext4_ext_shift_path_extents() where if we actually
manage to merge a extent we would skip shifting the next extent. This
will result in in one extent in the extent tree not being properly
shifted.

This is causing failure in various xfstests tests using fsx or fsstress
with collapse range support. It will also cause file system corruption
which looks something like:

 e2fsck 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014)
 Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
 Inode 20 has out of order extents
        (invalid logical block 3, physical block 492938, len 2)
 Clear? yes
 ...

when running e2fsck.

It's also very easily reproducible just by running fsx without any
parameters. I can usually hit the problem within a minute.

Fix it by increasing ex_start only if we're not merging the extent.
