Due to a missing cast, the high 32-bits of a 64-bit block number used when calculating the readahead block for inode tables can get lost. This means we can end up fetching the wrong blocks for readahead for file systems > 16TB. Linus found this when experimenting with an enhacement to the sparse static code checker which checks for missing widening casts before binary "not" operators. Reported-by:

Commit fb0a387d 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. Reported-by:

While investigating interactivity problems it was clear that processes sometimes stall for long periods of times if an attempt is made to lock a buffer which is undergoing writeback. It would stall in a trace looking something like [<ffffffff811a39de>] __lock_buffer+0x2e/0x30 [<ffffffff8123a60f>] do_get_write_access+0x43f/0x4b0 [<ffffffff8123a7cb>] jbd2_journal_get_write_access+0x2b/0x50 [<ffffffff81220f79>] __ext4_journal_get_write_access+0x39/0x80 [<ffffffff811f3198>] ext4_reserve_inode_write+0x78/0xa0 [<ffffffff811f3209>] ext4_mark_inode_dirty+0x49/0x220 [<ffffffff811f57d1>] ext4_dirty_inode+0x41/0x60 [<ffffffff8119ac3e>] __mark_inode_dirty+0x4e/0x2d0 [<ffffffff8118b9b9>] update_time+0x79/0xc0 [<ffffffff8118ba98>] file_update_time+0x98/0x100 [<ffffffff81110ffc>] __generic_file_aio_write+0x17c/0x3b0 [<ffffffff811112aa>] generic_file_aio_write+0x7a/0xf0 [<ffffffff811ea853>] ext4_file_write+0x83/0xd0 [<ffffffff81172b23>] do_sync_write+0xa3/0xe0 [<ffffffff811731ae>] vfs_write+0xae/0x180 [<ffffffff8117361d>] sys_write+0x4d/0x90 [<ffffffff8159d62d>] system_call_fastpath+0x1a/0x1f [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff Signed-off-by:

Zach reported a problem that if inline data is enabled, we don't tell the difference between the offset of '.' and '..'. And a getdents will fail if the user only want to get '.'. And what's worse, we may meet with duplicate dir entries as the offset for inline dir and non-inline one is quite different. This patch just try to resolve this problem if dir_index is disabled. In this case, f_pos is the real offset with the dir block, so for inline dir, we just pretend as if we are a dir block and returns the offset like a norml dir block does. Reported-by:

Zach reported a problem that if inline data is enabled, we don't tell the difference between the offset of '.' and '..'. And a getdents will fail if the user only want to get '.' and what's worse, if there is a conversion happens when the user calls getdents many times, he/she may get the same entry twice. In theory, a dir block would also fail if it is converted to a hashed-index based dir since f_pos will become a hash value, not the real one, but it doesn't happen. And a deep investigation shows that we uses a hash based solution even for a normal dir if the dir_index feature is enabled. So this patch just adds a new htree_inlinedir_to_tree for inline dir, and if we find that the hash index is supported, we will do like what we do for a dir block. Reported-by:

Inode allocation transaction is pretty heavy (246 credits with quotas and extents before previous patch, still around 200 after it). This is mostly due to credits required for allocation of quota structures (credits there are heavily overestimated but it's difficult to make better estimates if we don't want to wire non-trivial assumptions about quota format into filesystem). So move quota initialization out of allocation transaction. That way transaction for quota structure allocation will be started only if we need to look up quota structure on disk (rare) and furthermore it will be started for each quota type separately, not for all of them at once. This reduces maximum transaction size to 34 is most cases and to 73 in the worst case. [ Modified by tytso to clean up the cleanup paths for error handling. Also use a separate call to ext4_std_error() for each failure so it is easier for someone who is debugging a problem in this function to determine which function call failed. ] Signed-off-by:

Currently noone cleared buffer_uninit flag. This results in writeback needlessly marking io_end as needing extent conversion scanning extent tree for extents to convert.

So far ext4_bio_write_page() attached all the pages to ext4_io_end structure. This makes that structure pretty heavy (1 KB for pointers + 16 bytes per page attached to the bio). Also later we would like to share ext4_io_end structure among several bios in case IO to a single extent needs to be split among several bios and pointing to pages from ext4_io_end makes this complex. We remove page pointers from ext4_io_end and use pointers from bio itself instead. This isn't as easy when blocksize < pagesize because then we can have several bios in flight for a single page and we have to be careful when to call end_page_writeback(). However this is a known problem already solved by block_write_full_page() / end_buffer_async_write() so we mimic its behavior here. We mark buffers going to disk with BH_Async_Write flag and in ext4_bio_end_io() we check whether there are any buffers with BH_Async_Write flag left. If there are not, we can call end_page_writeback(). Signed-off-by:

Currently in ENOSPC condition when writing into unwritten space, or punching a hole, we might need to split the extent and grow extent tree. However since we can not allocate any new metadata blocks we'll have to zero out unwritten part of extent or punched out part of extent, or in the worst case return ENOSPC even though use actually does not allocate any space. Also in delalloc path we do reserve metadata and data blocks for the time we're going to write out, however metadata block reservation is very tricky especially since we expect that logical connectivity implies physical connectivity, however that might not be the case and hence we might end up allocating more metadata blocks than previously reserved. So in future, metadata reservation checks should be removed since we can not assure that we do not under reserve. And this is where reserved space comes into the picture. When mounting the file system we slice off a little bit of the file system space (2% or 4096 clusters, whichever is smaller) which can be then used for the cases mentioned above to prevent costly zeroout, or unexpected ENOSPC. The number of reserved clusters can be set via sysfs, however it can never be bigger than number of free clusters in the file system. Note that this patch fixes the failure of xfstest 274 as expected. Signed-off-by:

Improve mb_free_blocks speed by clearing entire range at once instead of iterating over each bit. Freeing block-by-block also makes buddy bitmap subtree flip twice making most of the work a no-op. Very few bits in buddy bitmap require change, e.g. freeing entire group is a 1 bit flip only. As a result, releasing blocks of 60G file now takes 5ms instead of 2.7s. This is especially good for non-preemptive kernels as there is no rescheduling during release. Signed-off-by:

Values stored in s_freeclusters_counter and s_dirtyclusters_counter are both in cluster units. Remove the cluster to block conversion applied to s_freeclusters_counter causing an inflated estimate of free space because s_dirtyclusters_counter is not similarly converted. Rename free_blocks and dirty_blocks to better reflect the units these variables contain to avoid future confusion. This fix corrects ENOSPC failures for xfstests 127 and 231 on bigalloc file systems.

Add a new ioctl, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT which swaps i_blocks and associated attributes (like i_blocks, i_size, i_flags, ...) from the specified inode with inode EXT4_BOOT_LOADER_INO (#5). This is typically used to store a boot loader in a secure part of the filesystem, where it can't be changed by a normal user by accident. The data blocks of the previous boot loader will be associated with the given inode. This usercode program is a simple example of the usage: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd; int err; if ( argc != 2 ) { printf("usage: ext4-swap-boot-inode FILE-TO-SWAP\n"); exit(1); } fd = open(argv[1], O_WRONLY); if ( fd < 0 ) { perror("open"); exit(1); } err = ioctl(fd, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT); if ( err < 0 ) { perror("ioctl"); exit(1); } close(fd); exit(0); } [ Modified by Theodore Ts'o to fix a number of bugs in the original code.] Signed-off-by:Dr. Tilmann Bubeck <t.bubeck@reinform.de> Signed-off-by:

Currently when inserting extent in ext4_ext_insert_extent() we would only try to to see if we can append new extent to the found extent. If we can not, then we proceed with adding new extent into the extent tree, but then possibly merging it back again. We can avoid this situation by trying to append and prepend new extent to the existing ones. However since the new extent can be on either sides of the existing extent, we have to pick the right extent to try to append/prepend to. This patch adds the conditions to pick the right extent to append/prepend to and adds the actual prepending condition as well. This will also eliminate the need to use "reserved" block for possibly growing extent tree. Signed-off-by:

Currently when converting extent to initialized we attempt to transfer initialized block to the left neighbour if possible when certain criteria are met. However we do not attempt to do the same for the right neighbor. This commit adds the possibility to transfer initialized block to the right neighbour if: 1. We're not converting the whole extent 2. Both extents are stored in the same extent tree node 3. Right neighbor is initialized 4. Right neighbor is logically abutting the current one 5. Right neighbor is physically abutting the current one 6. Right neighbor would not overflow the length limit This is basically the same logic as with transferring to the left. This will gain us some performance benefits since it is faster than inserting extent and then merging it. It would also prevent some situation in delalloc patch when we might run out of metadata reservation. This is due to the fact that we would attempt to split the extent first (possibly allocating new metadata block) even though we did not counted for that because it can (and will) be merged again. This commit fix that scenario, because we no longer need to split the extent in such case. Signed-off-by: -

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. Signed-off-by:

Currently in when getting the block group number for a particular block in ext4_block_in_group() we're using ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() which uses do_div() to get the block group and the remainer which is offset within the group. We don't need all of that in ext4_block_in_group() as we only need to figure out the group number. This commit changes ext4_block_in_group() to calculate group number directly. This shows as a big improvement with regards to cpu utilization. Measuring fallocate -l 15T on fresh file system with perf showed that 23% of cpu time was spend in the ext4_get_group_no_and_offset(). With this change it completely disappears from the list only bumping the occurrence of ext4_init_block_bitmap() which is the biggest user of ext4_block_in_group() by 4%. As the result of this change on my system the fallocate call was approx. 10% faster. However since there is '-g' option in mkfs which allow us setting different groups size (mostly for developers) I've introduced new per file system flag whether we have a standard block group size or not. The flag is used to determine whether we can use the bit shift optimization or not. Signed-off-by:
