      ext4: fallback to complex scan if aligned scan doesn't work · 1f6bc02f
      Ojaswin Mujoo authored
      Currently in case the goal length is a multiple of stripe size we use
      ext4_mb_scan_aligned() to find the stripe size aligned physical blocks.
      In case we are not able to find any, we again go back to calling
      ext4_mb_choose_next_group() to search for a different suitable block
      group. However, since the linear search always begins from the start,
      most of the times we end up with the same BG and the cycle continues.
      
      With large fliesystems, the CPU can be stuck in this loop for hours
      which can slow down the whole system. Hence, until we figure out a
      better way to continue the search (rather than starting from beginning)
      in ext4_mb_choose_next_group(), lets just fallback to
      ext4_mb_complex_scan_group() in case aligned scan fails, as it is much
      more likely to find the needed blocks.

      ext4: convert ext4_da_do_write_end() to take a folio · 4d5cdd75
      Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) authored
      There's nothing page-specific happening in ext4_da_do_write_end();
      it's merely used for its refcount & lock, both of which are folio
      properties.  Saves four calls to compound_head().

      ext4: allow for the last group to be marked as trimmed · 7c784d62
      Suraj Jitindar Singh authored
      The ext4 filesystem tracks the trim status of blocks at the group
      level.  When an entire group has been trimmed then it is marked as
      such and subsequent trim invocations with the same minimum trim size
      will not be attempted on that group unless it is marked as able to be
      trimmed again such as when a block is freed.
      
      Currently the last group can't be marked as trimmed due to incorrect
      logic in ext4_last_grp_cluster(). ext4_last_grp_cluster() is supposed
      to return the zero based index of the last cluster in a group. This is
      then used by ext4_try_to_trim_range() to determine if the trim
      operation spans the entire group and as such if the trim status of the
      group should be recorded.
      
      ext4_last_grp_cluster() takes a 0 based group index, thus the valid
      values for grp are 0..(ext4_get_groups_count - 1). Any group index
      less than (ext4_get_groups_count - 1) is not the last group and must
      have EXT4_CLUSTERS_PER_GROUP(sb) clusters. For the last group we need
      to calculate the number of clusters based on the number of blocks in
      the group. Finally subtract 1 from the number of clusters as zero
      based indexing is expected.  Rearrange the function slightly to make
      it clear what we are calculating and returning.
      
      Reproducer:
      // Create file system where the last group has fewer blocks than
      // blocks per group
      $ mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -g 8192 /dev/nvme0n1 8191
      $ mount /dev/nvme0n1 /mnt
      
      Before Patch:
      $ fstrim -v /mnt
      /mnt: 25.9 MiB (27156480 bytes) trimmed
      // Group not marked as trimmed so second invocation still discards blocks
      $ fstrim -v /mnt
      /mnt: 25.9 MiB (27156480 bytes) trimmed
      
      After Patch:
      fstrim -v /mnt
      /mnt: 25.9 MiB (27156480 bytes) trimmed
      // Group marked as trimmed so second invocation DOESN'T discard any blocks
      fstrim -v /mnt
      /mnt: 0 B (0 bytes) trimmed
      
      Fixes: 45e4ab32 ("ext4: move setting of trimmed bit into ext4_try_to_trim_range()")

      Analyzed informations from vmcore as follows:
      (1) There are about 5k+ jbd2_inode in 'commit_transaction->t_inode_list';
      (2) Now is processing the 855th jbd2_inode;
      (3) JBD2 task has TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag;
      (4) There's no pags in address_space around the 855th jbd2_inode;
      (5) There are some process is doing drop caches;
      (6) Mounted with 'nodioread_nolock' option;
      (7) 128 CPUs;
      
      According to informations from vmcore we know 'journal->j_list_lock' spin lock
      competition is fierce. So journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() maybe process
      slowly. Theoretically, there is scheduling point in the filemap_fdatawait_range_keep_errors().
      However, if inode's address_space has no pages which taged with PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK,
      will not call cond_resched(). So may lead to soft lockup.
      journal_finish_inode_data_buffers
        filemap_fdatawait_range_keep_errors
          __filemap_fdatawait_range
            while (index <= end)
              nr_pages = pagevec_lookup_range_tag(&pvec, mapping, &index, end, PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK);
              if (!nr_pages)
                 break;    --> If 'nr_pages' is equal zero will break, then will not call cond_resched()
              for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++)
                wait_on_page_writeback(page);
              cond_resched();
      
      To solve above issue, add scheduling point in the journal_finish_inode_data_buffers();

      Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt::
       "Eventfs fixes:
      
         - With the usage of simple_recursive_remove() recommended by Al Viro,
           the code should not be calling "d_invalidate()" itself. Doing so is
           causing crashes. The code was calling d_invalidate() on the race of
           trying to look up a file while the parent was being deleted. This
           was detected, and the added dentry was having d_invalidate() called
           on it, but the deletion of the directory was also calling
           d_invalidate() on that same dentry.
      
         - A fix to not free the eventfs_inode (ei) until the last dput() was
           called on its ei->dentry made the ei->dentry exist even after it
           was marked for free by setting the ei->is_freed. But code elsewhere
           still was checking if ei->dentry was NULL if ei->is_freed is set
           and would trigger WARN_ON if that was the case. That's no longer
           true and there should not be any warnings when it is true.
      
         - Use GFP_NOFS for allocations done under eventfs_mutex. The
           eventfs_mutex can be taken on file system reclaim, make sure that
           allocations done under that mutex do not trigger file system
           reclaim.
      
         - Clean up code by moving the taking of inode_lock out of the helper
           functions and into where they are needed, and not use the parameter
           to know to take it or not. It must always be held but some callers
           of the helper function have it taken when they were called.
      
         - Warn if the inode_lock is not held in the helper functions.
      
         - Warn if eventfs_start_creating() is called without a parent. As
           eventfs is underneath tracefs, all files created will have a parent
           (the top one will have a tracefs parent).
      
        Tracing update:
      
         - Add Mathieu Desnoyers as an official reviewer of the tracing subsystem"

        Due to not being correctly aligned at link & load time they can
        trigger unnecessarily the kernel unaligned exception handler at
        runtime. While at it, I switched the bug table to use relative
        addresses which reduces the size of the table by half on 64-bit.
      
        We still had the ENOSYM and EREMOTERELEASE errno symbols as left-overs
        from HP-UX, which now trigger build-issues with glibc. We can simply
        remove them.
      
        Most of the patches are tagged for stable kernel series.
