ext4: fix online resize with a non-standard blocks per group setting

2014-02-16T03:42:25+00:00

The set_flexbg_block_bitmap() function assumed that the number of
blocks in a blockgroup was sb->blocksize * 8, which is normally true,
but not always!  Use EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) instead, to fix block
bitmap corruption after:

mke2fs -t ext4 -g 3072 -i 4096 /dev/vdd 1G
mount -t ext4 /dev/vdd /vdd
resize2fs /dev/vdd 8G

ext4: fix online resize with very large inode tables

2014-02-16T02:33:13+00:00

If a file system has a large number of inodes per block group, all of
the metadata blocks in a flex_bg may be larger than what can fit in a
single block group.  Unfortunately, ext4_alloc_group_tables() in
resize.c was never tested to see if it would handle this case
correctly, and there were a large number of bugs which caused the
following sequence to result in a BUG_ON:

kernel bug at fs/ext4/resize.c:409!
   ...
call trace:
 [] ext4_flex_group_add+0x1448/0x1830
 [] ext4_resize_fs+0x7b2/0xe80
 [] ext4_ioctl+0xbf0/0xf00
 [] do_vfs_ioctl+0x2dd/0x4b0
 [] ? final_putname+0x22/0x50
 [] sys_ioctl+0x81/0xa0
 [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
code: c8 4c 89 df e8 41 96 f8 ff 44 89 e8 49 01 c4 44 29 6d d4 0
rip  [] set_flexbg_block_bitmap+0x171/0x180


This can be reproduced with the following command sequence:

   mke2fs -t ext4 -i 4096 /dev/vdd 1G
   mount -t ext4 /dev/vdd /vdd
   resize2fs /dev/vdd 8G

To fix this, we need to make sure the right thing happens when a block
group's inode table straddles two block groups, which means the
following bugs had to be fixed:

1) Not clearing the BLOCK_UNINIT flag in the second block group in
   ext4_alloc_group_tables --- the was proximate cause of the BUG_ON.

2) Incorrectly determining how many block groups contained contiguous
   free blocks in ext4_alloc_group_tables().

3) Incorrectly setting the start of the next block range to be marked
   in use after a discontinuity in setup_new_flex_group_blocks().

ext4: fix corruption when online resizing a fs with 1K block size

2013-07-01T12:12:08+00:00

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.
