      jbd2: Fix oops in jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() · de1b7941
      Jan Kara authored 
      jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() can oops when trying to access
journal_head returned by bh2jh(). This is caused for example by the
following race:

	TASK1					TASK2
  jbd2_journal_commit_transaction()
    ...
    processing t_forget list
      __jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(jh);
      if (!jh->b_transaction) {
        jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh);
					jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers()
					  jbd2_journal_grab_journal_head(bh)
					  jbd_lock_bh_state(bh)
					  __journal_try_to_free_buffer()
					  jbd2_journal_put_journal_head(jh)
        jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head(bh);

jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() in TASK2 sees that b_jcount == 0 and
buffer is not part of any transaction and thus frees journal_head
before TASK1 gets to doing so. Note that even buffer_head can be
released by try_to_free_buffers() after
jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() which adds even larger opportunity for
oops (but I didn't see this happen in reality).

Fix the problem by making transactions hold their own journal_head
reference (in b_jcount). That way we don't have to remove journal_head
explicitely via jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() and instead just
remove journal_head when b_jcount drops to zero. The result of this is
that [__]jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(),
[__]jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer(), and
__jdb2_journal_remove_checkpoint() can free journal_head which needs
modification of a few callers. Also we have to be careful because once
journal_head is removed, buffer_head might be freed as well. So we
have to get our own buffer_head reference where it matters.

      credits isn't a parameter for jbd2_journal_get_write_access and
jbd2_journal_get_undo_access. So remove the corresponding comments.

      ext4: fixed tracepoints cleanup · a9c667f8
      Lukas Czerner authored 
      While creating fixed tracepoints for ext3, basically by porting them
from ext4, I found a lot of useless retyping, wrong type usage, useless
variable passing and other inconsistencies in the ext4 fixed tracepoint
code.

This patch cleans the fixed tracepoint code for ext4 and also simplify
some of them.

      ext4: use FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST flag for last extent in fiemap · c03f8aa9
      Lukas Czerner authored 
      Currently we are not marking the extent as the last one
(FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST) if there is a hole at the end of the file. This is
because we just do not check for it right now and continue searching for
next extent. But at the point we hit the hole at the end of the file, it
is too late.

This commit adds check for the allocated block in subsequent extent and
if there is no more extents (block = EXT_MAX_BLOCKS) just flag the
current one as the last one.

This behaviour has been spotted unintentionally by 252 xfstest, when the
test hangs out, because of wrong loop condition. However on other
filesystems (like xfs) it will exit anyway, because we notice the last
extent flag and exit.

With this patch xfstest 252 does not hang anymore, ext4 fiemap
implementation still reports bad extent type in some cases, however
this seems to be different issue.

      ext4: Fix max file size and logical block counting of extent format file · f17722f9
      Lukas Czerner authored 
      Kazuya Mio reported that he was able to hit BUG_ON(next == lblock)
in ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache() while creating a sparse file in extent
format and fill the tail of file up to its end. We will hit the BUG_ON
when we write the last block (2^32-1) into the sparse file.

The root cause of the problem lies in the fact that we specifically set
s_maxbytes so that block at s_maxbytes fit into on-disk extent format,
which is 32 bit long. However, we are not storing start and end block
number, but rather start block number and length in blocks. It means
that in order to cover extent from 0 to EXT_MAX_BLOCK we need
EXT_MAX_BLOCK+1 to fit into len (because we counting block 0 as well) -
and it does not.

The only way to fix it without changing the meaning of the struct
ext4_extent members is, as Kazuya Mio suggested, to lower s_maxbytes
by one fs block so we can cover the whole extent we can get by the
on-disk extent format.

Also in many places EXT_MAX_BLOCK is used as length instead of maximum
logical block number as the name suggests, it is all a bit messy. So
this commit renames it to EXT_MAX_BLOCKS and change its usage in some
places to actually be maximum number of blocks in the extent.

The bug which this commit fixes can be reproduced as follows:

 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=<blocksize> count=1 seek=$((2**32-2))
 sync
 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=<blocksize> count=1 seek=$((2**32-1))
