When ext4_insert_delayed block receives and recovers from an error from
ext4_es_insert_delayed_block(), e.g., ENOMEM, it does not release the
space it has reserved for that block insertion as it should. One effect
of this bug is that s_dirtyclusters_counter is not decremented and
remains incorrectly elevated until the file system has been unmounted.
This can result in premature ENOSPC returns and apparent loss of free
space.

Another effect of this bug is that
/sys/fs/ext4/&lt;dev&gt;/delayed_allocation_blocks can remain non-zero even
after syncfs has been executed on the filesystem.

Besides, add check for s_dirtyclusters_counter when inode is going to be
evicted and freed. s_dirtyclusters_counter can still keep non-zero until
inode is written back in .evict_inode(), and thus the check is delayed
to .destroy_inode().

Remove the code that re-initializes a buffer head with an invalid block
number and BH_New and BH_Delay bits when a matching delayed and
unwritten block has been found in the extent status cache. Replace it
with assertions that verify the buffer head already has this state
correctly set.  The current code masked an inline data truncation bug
that left stale entries in the extent status cache.  With this change,
generic/130 can be used to reproduce and detect that bug.

Fix a bug in how we update i_disksize, and the error path in
inline_data_end.  Finally, drop an unnecessary creation of a journal
handle which was only needed for inline data, which can give us a
large performance gain in delayed allocation writes.

<title>ext4: drop unnecessary journal handle in delalloc write</title>

<id>cc883236b79297f6266ca6f4e7f24f3fd3c736c1</id>
<content type='text'>
After we factor out the inline data write procedure from
ext4_da_write_end(), we don't need to start journal handle for the cases
of both buffer overwrite and append-write. If we need to update
i_disksize, mark_inode_dirty() do start handle and update inode buffer.
So we could just remove all the journal handle codes in the delalloc
write procedure.

After this patch, we could get a lot of performance improvement. Below
is the Unixbench comparison data test on my machine with 'Intel Xeon
Gold 5120' CPU and nvme SSD backend.

Test cmd:

  ./Run -c 56 -i 3 fstime fsbuffer fsdisk

Now that the inline_data file write end procedure are falled into the
common write end functions, it is not clear. Factor them out and do
some cleanup. This patch also drop ext4_da_write_inline_data_end()
and switch to use ext4_write_inline_data_end() instead because we also
need to do the same error processing if we failed to write data into
inline entry.

Current error path of ext4_write_inline_data_end() is not correct.

Firstly, it should pass out the error value if ext4_get_inode_loc()
return fail, or else it could trigger infinite loop if we inject error
here. And then it's better to add inode to orphan list if it return fail
in ext4_journal_stop(), otherwise we could not restore inline xattr
entry after power failure. Finally, we need to reset the 'ret' value if
ext4_write_inline_data_end() return success in ext4_write_end() and
ext4_journalled_write_end(), otherwise we could not get the error return
value of ext4_journal_stop().

After commit 3da40c7b0898 ("ext4: only call ext4_truncate when size &lt;=
isize"), i_disksize could always be updated to i_size in ext4_setattr(),
and we could sure that i_disksize &lt;= i_size since holding inode lock and
if i_disksize &lt; i_size there are delalloc writes pending in the range
upto i_size. If the end of the current write is &lt;= i_size, there's no
need to touch i_disksize since writeback will push i_disksize upto
i_size eventually. So we can switch to check i_size instead of
i_disksize in ext4_da_write_end() when write to the end of the file.
we also could remove ext4_mark_inode_dirty() together because we defer
inode dirtying to generic_write_end() or ext4_da_write_inline_data_end().

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "In addition to some ext4 bug fixes and cleanups, this cycle we add the
  orphan_file feature, which eliminates bottlenecks when doing a large
  number of parallel truncates and file deletions, and move the discard
  operation out of the jbd2 commit thread when using the discard mount
  option, to better support devices with slow discard operations"
