Since check_eofblocks_fl() only uses the m_lblk portion of the map structure, we may as well pass that directly, rather than passing the entire map, which IMHO obfuscates what parameters check_eofblocks_fl() cares about. Not a big deal, but seems tidier and less confusing, to me. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

Commit 40389687 moved a call to ext4_forget() out of ext4_free_branches and let ext4_free_blocks() handle calling bforget(). But that change unfortunately did not replace the call to ext4_forget() with brelse(), which was needed to drop the in-use count of the indirect block's buffer head, which lead to a memory leak when deleting files that used indirect blocks. Fix this. Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing this out. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

This function was never implemented, except for a BUG_ON which was tripping when ext4 is run without a journal. The problem is that although the comment asserts that "truncate (which is the only way to free block) discards all preallocations", ext4_free_blocks() is also called in various error recovery paths when blocks have been allocated, but for various reasons, we were not able to use those data blocks (for example, because we ran out of memory while trying to manipulate the extent tree, or some other similar situation). In addition to the fact that this function isn't implemented except for the incorrect BUG_ON, the single caller of this function, ext4_free_blocks(), doesn't use it all if the journal is enabled. So remove the (stub) function entirely for now. If we decide it's better to add it back, it's only going to be useful with a relatively large number of code changes anyway.

Ted first found the bug when running 2.6.36 kernel with dioread_nolock mount option that xfstests #13 complained about wrong file size during fsck. However, the bug exists in the older kernels as well although it is somehow harder to trigger. The problem is that ext4_end_io_work() can happen after we have truncated an inode to a smaller size. Then when ext4_end_io_work() calls ext4_convert_unwritten_extents(), we may reallocate some blocks that have been truncated, so the inode size becomes inconsistent with the allocated blocks. The following patch flushes the i_completed_io_list during truncate to reduce the risk that some pending end_io requests are executed later and convert already truncated blocks to initialized. Note that although the fix helps reduce the problem a lot there may still be a race window between vmtruncate() and ext4_end_io_work(). The fundamental problem is that if vmtruncate() is called without either i_mutex or i_alloc_sem held, it can race with an ongoing write request so that the io_end request is processed later when the corresponding blocks have been truncated. Ted and I have discussed the problem offline and we saw a few ways to fix the race completely: a) We guarantee that i_mutex lock and i_alloc_sem write lock are both hold whenever vmtruncate() is called. The i_mutex lock prevents any new write requests from entering writeback and the i_alloc_sem prevents the race from ext4_page_mkwrite(). Currently we hold both locks if vmtruncate() is called from do_truncate(), which is probably the most common case. However, there are places where we may call vmtruncate() without holding either i_mutex or i_alloc_sem. I would like to ask for other people's opinions on what locks are expected to be held before calling vmtruncate(). There seems a disagreement among the callers of that function. b) We change the ext4 write path so that we change the extent tree to contain the newly allocated blocks and update i_size both at the same time --- when the write of the data blocks is completed. c) We add some additional locking to synchronize vmtruncate() and ext4_end_io_work(). This approach may have performance implications so we need to be careful. All of the above proposals may require more substantial changes, so we may consider to take the following patch as a bandaid.

When ext4_trim_fs() is called to trim a part of a single group, the logic will wrongly set last block of the interval to 'len' instead of 'first_block + len'. Thus a shorter interval is possibly trimmed. Fix it.

Replace the jbd2_inode structure (which is 48 bytes) with a pointer and only allocate the jbd2_inode when it is needed --- that is, when the file system has a journal present and the inode has been opened for writing. This allows us to further slim down the ext4_inode_info structure. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

We can store the dynamic inode state flags in the high bits of EXT4_I(inode)->i_flags, and eliminate i_state_flags. This saves 8 bytes from the size of ext4_inode_info structure, which when multiplied by the number of the number of in the inode cache, can save a lot of memory.

We can encode the ec_type information by using ee_len == 0 to denote EXT4_EXT_CACHE_NO, ee_start == 0 to denote EXT4_EXT_CACHE_GAP, and if neither is true, then the cache type must be EXT4_EXT_CACHE_EXTENT. This allows us to reduce the size of ext4_ext_inode by another 8 bytes. (ec_type is 4 bytes, plus another 4 bytes of padding) Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

This fixes a number of places where we used sector_t instead of ext4_lblk_t for logical blocks, which for ext4 are still 32-bit data types. No point wasting space in the ext4_inode_info structure, and requiring 64-bit arithmetic on 32-bit systems, when it isn't necessary. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

Remove the short element i_delalloc_reserved_flag from the ext4_inode_info structure and replace it a new bit in i_state_flags. Since we have an ext4_inode_info for every ext4 inode cached in the inode cache, any savings we can produce here is a very good thing from a memory utilization perspective.

ext4_ext_find_goal() returns an ideal physical block number that the block allocator tries to allocate first. However, if a required file offset is smaller than the existing extent's one, ext4_ext_find_goal() returns a wrong block number because it may overflow at "block - le32_to_cpu(ex->ee_block)". This patch fixes the problem. ext4_ext_find_goal() will also return a wrong block number in case a file offset of the existing extent is too big. In this case, the ideal physical block number is fixed in ext4_mb_initialize_context(), so it's no problem. reproduce: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/tmp bs=127M count=1 oflag=sync # dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=512K count=1 seek=1 oflag=sync # filefrag -v /mnt/mp1/file Filesystem type is: ef53 File size of /mnt/mp1/file is 1048576 (256 blocks, blocksize 4096) ext logical physical expected length flags 0 128 67456 128 eof /mnt/mp1/file: 2 extents found # rm -rf /mnt/mp1/tmp # echo $((512*4096)) > /sys/fs/ext4/loop0/mb_stream_req # dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=512K count=1 oflag=sync conv=notrunc result (linux-2.6.37-rc2 + ext4 patch queue): # filefrag -v /mnt/mp1/file Filesystem type is: ef53 File size of /mnt/mp1/file is 1048576 (256 blocks, blocksize 4096) ext logical physical expected length flags 0 0 33280 128 1 128 67456 33407 128 eof /mnt/mp1/file: 2 extents found result(apply this patch): # filefrag -v /mnt/mp1/file Filesystem type is: ef53 File size of /mnt/mp1/file is 1048576 (256 blocks, blocksize 4096) ext logical physical expected length flags 0 0 66560 128 1 128 67456 66687 128 eof /mnt/mp1/file: 2 extents found Signed-off-by: Kazuya Mio <k-mio@sx.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

ext4_issue_discard is supposed to be helper for calling discard, however in case that underlying device does not support discard it prints out the warning message and clears the DISCARD t_mount_opt flag. Since it can be (and is) used by others, it should not do anything and let the caller to handle the error case. This commit removes warning message and flag setting from ext4_issue_discard and use it just in place where it is really needed (release_blocks_on_commit). FITRIM ioctl should not set any flags nor it should print out warning messages, so get rid of the warning as well. Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com>
