ext4: initialize multi-block allocator before checking block descriptors

2014-04-07T14:54:20+00:00

With EXT4FS_DEBUG ext4_count_free_clusters() will call
ext4_read_block_bitmap() without s_group_info initialized, so we need to
initialize multi-block allocator before.

And dependencies that must be solved, to allow this:
- multi-block allocator needs in group descriptors
- need to install s_op before initializing multi-block allocator,
  because in ext4_mb_init_backend() new inode is created.
- initialize number of group desc blocks (s_gdb_count) otherwise
  number of clusters returned by ext4_free_clusters_after_init() is not correct.
  (see ext4_bg_num_gdb_nometa())

Here is the stack backtrace:

ext4: optimize Hurd tests when reading/writing inodes

2014-03-24T18:09:06+00:00

Set a in-memory superblock flag to indicate whether the file system is
designed to support the Hurd.

Also, add a sanity check to make sure the 64-bit feature is not set
for Hurd file systems, since i_file_acl_high conflicts with a
Hurd-specific field.

ext4: each filesystem creates and uses its own mb_cache

2014-03-18T23:24:49+00:00

This patch adds new interfaces to create and destory cache,
ext4_xattr_create_cache() and ext4_xattr_destroy_cache(), and remove
the cache creation and destory calls from ex4_init_xattr() and
ext4_exitxattr() in fs/ext4/xattr.c.

fs/ext4/super.c has been changed so that when a filesystem is mounted
a cache is allocated and attched to its ext4_sb_info structure.

fs/mbcache.c has been changed so that only one slab allocator is
allocated and used by all mbcache structures.

fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()

2014-03-13T14:14:33+00:00

Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the
file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied,
unconditional syncfs().  This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly
documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful,
except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting
remounted read-only.

However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are
actually depending on this behavior.  In most file systems, it's
probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from
read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is
not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something
like romfs).

ext4: don't try to modify s_flags if the the file system is read-only

2014-02-12T17:16:04+00:00

If an ext4 file system is created by some tool other than mke2fs
(perhaps by someone who has a pathalogical fear of the GPL) that
doesn't set one or the other of the EXT2_FLAGS_{UN}SIGNED_HASH flags,
and that file system is then mounted read-only, don't try to modify
the s_flags field.  Otherwise, if dm_verity is in use, the superblock
will change, causing an dm_verity failure.

ext4: Do not reserve clusters when fs doesn't support extents

2013-12-09T02:11:59+00:00

When the filesystem doesn't support extents (like in ext2/3
compatibility modes), there is no need to reserve any clusters. Space
estimates for writing are exact, hole punching doesn't need new
metadata, and there are no unwritten extents to convert.

This fixes a problem when filesystem still having some free space when
accessed with a native ext2/3 driver suddently reports ENOSPC when
accessed with ext4 driver.

ext4: fix del_timer() misuse for ->s_err_report

2013-12-09T01:52:31+00:00

That thing should be del_timer_sync(); consider what happens
if ext4_put_super() call of del_timer() happens to come just as it's
getting run on another CPU.  Since that timer reschedules itself
to run next day, you are pretty much guaranteed that you'll end up
with kfree'd scheduled timer, with usual fun consequences.  AFAICS,
that's -stable fodder all way back to 2010... [the second del_timer_sync()
is almost certainly not needed, but it doesn't hurt either]

ext4: use prandom_u32() instead of get_random_bytes()

2013-11-08T05:14:53+00:00

Many of the uses of get_random_bytes() do not actually need
cryptographically secure random numbers.  Replace those uses with a
call to prandom_u32(), which is faster and which doesn't consume
entropy from the /dev/random driver.
