Aaro Koskinen 6d5c3aa84b ext4: fix typo which broke '..' detection in ext4_find_entry()
There should be a check for the NUL character instead of '0'.

Fortunately the only thing that cares about this is NFS serving, which
is why we didn't notice this in the merge window testing.

Theodore Ts'o 1449032be1 ext4: Turn off multiple page-io submission by default
Jon Nelson has found a test case which causes postgresql to fail with
the error:

psql:t.sql:4: ERROR: invalid page header in block 38269 of relation base/16384/16581

Under memory pressure, it looks like part of a file can end up getting
replaced by zero's.  Until we can figure out the cause, we'll roll
back the change and use block_write_full_page() instead of
ext4_bio_write_page().  The new, more efficient writing function can
be used via the mount option mblk_io_submit, so we can test and fix
the new page I/O code.

To reproduce the problem, install postgres 8.4 or 9.0, and pin enough
memory such that the system just at the end of triggering writeback
before running the following sql script:

begin;
create temporary table foo as select x as a, ARRAY[x] as b FROM
generate_series(1, 10000000 ) AS x;
create index foo_a_idx on foo (a);
create index foo_b_idx on foo USING GIN (b);
rollback;

If the temporary table is created on a hard drive partition which is
encrypted using dm_crypt, then under memory pressure, approximately
30-40% of the time, pgsql will issue the above failure.

This patch should fix this problem, and the problem will come back if
the file system is mounted with the mblk_io_submit mount option.

Lukas Czerner e681c047e4 ext4: Add EXT4_IOC_TRIM ioctl to handle batched discard
Filesystem independent ioctl was rejected as not common enough to be in
core vfs ioctl. Since we still need to access to this functionality this
commit adds ext4 specific ioctl EXT4_IOC_TRIM to dispatch
ext4_trim_fs().

It takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in
the include/linux/fs.h and its definition is as follows.

struct fstrim_range {
	__u64 start;
	__u64 len;
	__u64 minlen;
}

start	- first Byte to trim
len	- number of Bytes to trim from start
minlen	- minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this
  number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs
  block size.

After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored
in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage
space has been really released for wear-leveling.

Lukas Czerner 93bb41f4f8 fs: Do not dispatch FITRIM through separate super_operation
There was concern that FITRIM ioctl is not common enough to be included
in core vfs ioctl, as Christoph Hellwig pointed out there's no real point
in dispatching this out to a separate vector instead of just through
->ioctl.

So this commit removes ioctl_fstrim() from vfs ioctl and trim_fs
from super_operation structure.

Darrick J. Wong 5a9ae68a34 ext4: ext4_fill_super shouldn't return 0 on corruption
At the start of ext4_fill_super, ret is set to -EINVAL, and any failure path
out of that function returns ret.  However, the generic_check_addressable
clause sets ret = 0 (if it passes), which means that a subsequent failure (e.g.
a group checksum error) returns 0 even though the mount should fail.  This
causes vfs_kern_mount in turn to think that the mount succeeded, leading to an
oops.

A simple fix is to avoid using ret for the generic_check_addressable check,
which was last changed in commit 30ca22c70e.

Markus Trippelsdorf 08da1193d2 ext4: fix setting random pages PageUptodate
ext4_end_bio calls put_page and kmem_cache_free before calling
SetPageUpdate(). This can result in setting the PageUptodate bit on
random pages and causes the following BUG:

Theodore Ts'o b56ff9d397 ext4: Don't call sb_issue_discard() in ext4_free_blocks()
Commit 5c521830cf (ext4: Support discard requests when running in
no-journal mode) attempts to add sb_issue_discard() for data blocks
(in data=writeback mode) and in no-journal mode.  Unfortunately, this
no longer works, because in commit dd3932eddf (block: remove
BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT), sb_issue_discard() only presents a synchronous
interface, and there are times when we call ext4_free_blocks() when we
are are holding a spinlock, or are otherwise in an atomic context.

For now, I've removed the call to sb_issue_discard() to prevent a
deadlock or (if spinlock debugging is enabled) failures like this:

Theodore Ts'o f7ad6d2e92 ext4: handle writeback of inodes which are being freed
The following BUG can occur when an inode which is getting freed when
it still has dirty pages outstanding, and it gets deleted (in this
because it was the target of a rename).  In ordered mode, we need to
make sure the data pages are written just in case we crash before the
rename (or unlink) is committed.  If the inode is being freed then
when we try to igrab the inode, we end up tripping the BUG_ON at
fs/ext4/page-io.c:146.

To solve this problem, we need to keep track of the number of io
callbacks which are pending, and avoid destroying the inode until they
have all been completed.  That way we don't have to bump the inode
count to keep the inode from being destroyed; an approach which
doesn't work because the count could have already been dropped down to
zero before the inode writeback has started (at which point we're not
allowed to bump the count back up to 1, since it's already started
getting freed).

Thanks to Dave Chinner for suggesting this approach, which is also
used by XFS.

Theodore Ts'o 7f93cff90f ext4: fix kernel oops if the journal superblock has a non-zero j_errno
Commit 84061e0 fixed an accounting bug only to introduce the
possibility of a kernel OOPS if the journal has a non-zero j_errno
field indicating that the file system had detected a fs inconsistency.
After the journal replay, if the journal superblock indicates that the
file system has an error, this indication is transfered to the file
system and then ext4_commit_super() is called to write this to the
disk.

But since the percpu counters are now initialized after the journal
replay, the call to ext4_commit_super() will cause a kernel oops since
it needs to use the percpu counters the ext4 superblock structure.

The fix is to skip setting the ext4 free block and free inode fields
if the percpu counter has not been set.

Thanks to Ken Sumrall for reporting and analyzing the root causes of
this bug.

Eric Sandeen 72f84e6560 ext4: update writeback_index based on last page scanned
As pointed out in a prior patch, updating the mapping's
writeback_index based on pages written isn't quite right;
what the writeback index is really supposed to reflect is
the next page which should be scanned for writeback during
periodic flush.

As in write_cache_pages(), write_cache_pages_da() does
this scanning for us as we assemble the mpd for later
writeout.  If we keep track of the next page after the
current scan, we can easily update writeback_index without
worrying about pages written vs. pages skipped, etc.

Without this, an fsync will reset writeback_index to
0 (its starting index) + however many pages it wrote, which
can mess up the progress of periodic flush.

Eric Sandeen 5b41d92437 ext4: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging
This is analogous to Jan Kara's commit,
f446daaea9
mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging

but since we forked write_cache_pages, we need to reimplement
it there (and in ext4_da_writepages, since range_cyclic handling
was moved to there)

If you start a large buffered IO to a file, and then set
fsync after it, you'll find that fsync does not complete
until the other IO stops.

If you continue re-dirtying the file (say, putting dd
with conv=notrunc in a loop), when fsync finally completes
(after all IO is done), it reports via tracing that
it has written many more pages than the file contains;
in other words it has synced and re-synced pages in
the file multiple times.

This then leads to problems with our writeback_index
update, since it advances it by pages written, and
essentially sets writeback_index off the end of the
file...

With the following patch, we only sync as much as was
dirty at the time of the sync.

Eric Sandeen bbd08344e3 ext4: tidy up a void argument in inode.c
This doesn't fix anything at all, it just removes a vestige
of prior use from __mpage_da_writepage()

__mpage_da_writepage() had a *void argument leftover from
its previous life as a callback; make it reflect the actual type.

Fixing this up makes it slightly more obvious to read, and 
enables proper typechecking.

Lukas Czerner 7360d1731e ext4: Add batched discard support for ext4
Walk through allocation groups and trim all free extents. It can be
invoked through FITRIM ioctl on the file system. The main idea is to
provide a way to trim the whole file system if needed, since some SSD's
may suffer from performance loss after the whole device was filled (it
does not mean that fs is full!).

It search for free extents in allocation groups specified by Byte range
start -> start+len. When the free extent is within this range, blocks
are marked as used and then trimmed. Afterwards these blocks are marked
as free in per-group bitmap.

Since fstrim is a long operation it is good to have an ability to
interrupt it by a signal. This was added by Dmitry Monakhov.
Thanks Dimitry.

As a prepratory step to switching to bio_submit, inline
ext4_writepage() into mpage_da_submit() and then simplify things a
bit.  This makes it clearer what mpage_da_submit needs to do.

Also, move the ClearPageChecked(page) call into
__ext4_journalled_writepage(), as a minor bit of cleanup refactoring.

This also allows us to pull i_size_read() and
ext4_should_journal_data() out of the loop, which should be a very
minor CPU savings.

Theodore Ts'o 5a87b7a5da ext4: call mpage_da_submit_io() from mpage_da_map_blocks()
Eventually we need to completely reorganize the ext4 writepage
callpath, but for now, we simplify things a little by calling
mpage_da_submit_io() from mpage_da_map_blocks(), since all of the
places where we call mpage_da_map_blocks() it is followed up by a call
to mpage_da_submit_io().

We're also a wee bit better with respect to error handling, but there
are still a number of issues where it's not clear what the right thing
is to do with ext4 functions deep in the writeback codepath fails.

Theodore Ts'o 8941ec8bb6 ext4: avoid uninitialized memory references in ext3_htree_next_block()
If the first block of htree directory is missing '.' or '..' but is
otherwise a valid directory, and we do a lookup for '.' or '..', it's
possible to dereference an uninitialized memory pointer in
ext4_htree_next_block().

We avoid this by moving the special case from ext4_dx_find_entry() to
ext4_find_entry(); this also means we can optimize ext4_find_entry()
slightly when NFS looks up "..".

Thanks to Brad Spengler for pointing a Clang warning that led me to
look more closely at this code.  The warning was harmless, but it was
useful in pointing out code that was too ugly to live.  This warning was

Eric Sandeen c999af2b34 ext4: queue conversion after adding to inode's completed IO list
By queuing the io end on the unwritten workqueue before adding it
to our inode's list of completed IOs, I think we run the risk
of the work getting completed, and the IO freed, before we try
to add it to the inode's i_completed_io_list.

It should be safe to add it to the inode's list of completed
IOs, and -then- queue it for completion, I think.

Thanks to Dave Chinner for pointing out the race.
