Subtracting the number of the first data block places the superblock
backups one block too early, corrupting the file system. When the block
size is larger than 1K, the first data block is 0, so the subtraction
has no effect and no corruption occurs.

Commit fb0a387dcdc restricts block allocations for indirect-mapped
files to block groups less than s_blockfile_groups.  However, the
online resizing code wasn't setting s_blockfile_groups, so the newly
added block groups were not available for non-extent mapped files.

Currently on many places in ext4 we're using
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() even though we're only interested in
knowing the block group of the particular block, not the offset within
the block group so we can use more efficient way to compute block
group.

This patch introduces ext4_get_group_number() which computes block
group for a given block much more efficiently. Use this function
instead of ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() everywhere where we're only
interested in knowing the block group.

<title>ext4: use atomic64_t for the per-flexbg free_clusters count</title>

A user who was using a 8TB+ file system and with a very large flexbg
size (&gt; 65536) could cause the atomic_t used in the struct flex_groups
to overflow.  This was detected by PaX security patchset:

http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&amp;t=3289&amp;p=12551#p12551

This bug was introduced in commit 9f24e4208f7e, so it's been around
since 2.6.30.  :-(

Fix this by using an atomic64_t for struct orlav_stats's
free_clusters.

We're using macro EXT4_B2C() to convert number of blocks to number of
clusters for bigalloc file systems.  However, we should be using
EXT4_NUM_B2C().

<title>ext4: pass context information to jbd2__journal_start()</title>

<id>9924a92a8c217576bd2a2b1bbbb854462f1a00ae</id>
<content type='text'>
So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for
long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass
context information for logging purposes.

The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is:

   T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
   EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats
   echo "interval &gt; 5" &gt; $EVENT/filter
   echo 1 &gt; $EVENT/enable

   ./run-my-fs-benchmark

   cat $T/trace &gt; /tmp/problem-handles

This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms.  Having
longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong
time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an
fsync() or an O_SYNC operation.  Here is an example line from the
trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over
1.2 seconds:

postmark-2917  [000] ....   196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32 
   tid 570 type 2 line_no 2541 interval 311 sync 0 requested_blocks 1
   dirtied_blocks 0
