      ext4: make fsync to sync parent dir in no-journal for real this time · e12fb972
      Lukas Czerner authored
      Previously commit 14ece102 added a
      support for for syncing parent directory of newly created inodes to
      make sure that the inode is not lost after a power failure in
      no-journal mode.
      
      However this does not work in majority of cases, namely:
       - if the directory has inline data
       - if the directory is already indexed
       - if the directory already has at least one block and:
      	- the new entry fits into it
      	- or we've successfully converted it to indexed
      
      So in those cases we might lose the inode entirely even after fsync in
      the no-journal mode. This also includes ext2 default mode obviously.
      
      I've noticed this while running xfstest generic/321 and even though the
      test should fail (we need to run fsck after a crash in no-journal mode)
      I could not find a newly created entries even when if it was fsynced
      before.
      
      Fix this by adjusting the ext4_add_entry() successful exit paths to set
      the inode EXT4_STATE_NEWENTRY so that fsync has the chance to fsync the
      parent directory as well.

      ext4: don't release reserved space for previously allocated cluster · 9d21c9fa
      Eric Whitney authored
      When xfstests' auto group is run on a bigalloc filesystem with a
      4.0-rc3 kernel, e2fsck failures and kernel warnings occur for some
      tests. e2fsck reports incorrect iblocks values, and the warnings
      indicate that the space reserved for delayed allocation is being
      overdrawn at allocation time.
      
      Some of these errors occur because the reserved space is incorrectly
      decreased by one cluster when ext4_ext_map_blocks satisfies an
      allocation request by mapping an unused portion of a previously
      allocated cluster.  Because a cluster's worth of reserved space was
      already released when it was first allocated, it should not be released
      again.
      
      This patch appears to correct the e2fsck failure reported for
      generic/232 and the kernel warnings produced by ext4/001, generic/009,
      and generic/033.  Failures and warnings for some other tests remain to
      be addressed.

      ext4: fix loss of delalloc extent info in ext4_zero_range() · 94426f4b
      Eric Whitney authored
      In ext4_zero_range(), removing a file's entire block range from the
      extent status tree removes all records of that file's delalloc extents.
      The delalloc accounting code uses this information, and its loss can
      then lead to accounting errors and kernel warnings at writeback time and
      subsequent file system damage.  This is most noticeable on bigalloc
      file systems where code in ext4_ext_map_blocks() handles cases where
      delalloc extents share clusters with a newly allocated extent.
      
      Because we're not deleting a block range and are correctly updating the
      status of its associated extent, there is no need to remove anything
      from the extent status tree.
      
      When this patch is combined with an unrelated bug fix for
      ext4_zero_range(), kernel warnings and e2fsck errors reported during
      xfstests runs on bigalloc filesystems are greatly reduced without
      introducing regressions on other xfstests-bld test scenarios.

      ext4: allocate entire range in zero range · 0f2af21a
      Lukas Czerner authored
      Currently there is a bug in zero range code which causes zero range
      calls to only allocate block aligned portion of the range, while
      ignoring the rest in some cases.
      
      In some cases, namely if the end of the range is past i_size, we do
      attempt to preallocate the last nonaligned block. However this might
      cause kernel to BUG() in some carefully designed zero range requests
      on setups where page size > block size.
      
      Fix this problem by first preallocating the entire range, including
      the nonaligned edges and converting the written extents to unwritten
      in the next step. This approach will also give us the advantage of
      having the range to be as linearly contiguous as possible.

      fs: make sure the timestamps for lazytime inodes eventually get written · a2f48706
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      Jan Kara pointed out that if there is an inode which is constantly
      getting dirtied with I_DIRTY_PAGES, an inode with an updated timestamp
      will never be written since inode->dirtied_when is constantly getting
      updated.  We fix this by adding an extra field to the inode,
      dirtied_time_when, so inodes with a stale dirtytime can get detected
      and handled.
      
      In addition, if we have a dirtytime inode caused by an atime update,
      and there is no write activity on the file system, we need to have a
      secondary system to make sure these inodes get written out.  We do
      this by setting up a second delayed work structure which wakes up the
      CPU much more rarely compared to writeback_expire_centisecs.

      drm/i915: Fix modeset state confusion in the load detect code · 9128b040
      Daniel Vetter authored
      This is a tricky story of the new atomic state handling and the legacy
      code fighting over each another. The bug at hand is an underrun of the
      framebuffer reference with subsequent hilarity caused by the load
      detect code. Which is peculiar since the the exact same code works
      fine as the implementation of the legacy setcrtc ioctl.
      
      Let's look at the ingredients:
      
      - Currently our code is a crazy mix of legacy modeset interfaces to
        set the parameters and half-baked atomic state tracking underneath.
        While this transition is going we're using the transitional plane
        helpers to update the atomic side (drm_plane_helper_disable/update
        and friends), i.e. plane->state->fb. Since the state structure owns
        the fb those functions take care of that themselves.
      
        The legacy state (specifically crtc->primary->fb) is still managed
        by the old code (and mostly by the drm core), with the fb reference
        counting done by callers (core drm for the ioctl or the i915 load
        detect code). The relevant commit is
      
        commit ea2c67bb

            drm/i915: Move to atomic plane helpers (v9)
      
      - drm_plane_helper_disable has special code to handle multiple calls
        in a row - it checks plane->crtc == NULL and bails out. This is to
        match the proper atomic implementation which needs the crtc to get
        at the implied locking context atomic updates always need. See

            drm/plane-helper: transitional atomic plane helpers
      
      - The universal plane code split out the implicit primary plane from
        the CRTC into it's own full-blown drm_plane object. As part of that
        the setcrtc ioctl (which updated both the crtc mode and primary
        plane) learned to set crtc->primary->crtc on modeset to make sure
        the plane->crtc assignments statate up to date in
      
        commit e13161af

            drm: Add drm_crtc_init_with_planes() (v2)
      
        Unfortunately we've forgotten to update the load detect code. Which
        wasn't a problem since the load detect modeset is temporary and
        always undone before we drop the locks.
      
      - Finally there is a organically grown history (i.e. don't ask) around
        who sets the legacy plane->fb for the various driver entry points.
        Originally updating that was the drivers duty, but for almost all
        places we've moved that (plus updating the refcounts) into the core.
        Again the exception is the load detect code.
      
      Taking all together the following happens:
      - The load detect code doesn't set crtc->primary->crtc. This is only
        really an issue on crtcs never before used or when userspace
        explicitly disabled the primary plane.
      
      - The plane helper glue code short-circuits because of that and leaves
        a non-NULL fb behind in plane->state->fb and plane->fb. The state
        fb isn't a real problem (it's properly refcounted on its own), it's
        just the canary.
      
      - Load detect code drops the reference for that fb, but doesn't set
        plane->fb = NULL. This is ok since it's still living in that old
        world where drivers had to clear the pointer but the core/callers
        handled the refcounting.
      
      - On the next modeset the drm core notices plane->fb and takes care of
        refcounting it properly by doing another unref. This drops the
        refcount to zero, leaving state->plane now pointing at freed memory.
      
      - intel_plane_duplicate_state still assume it owns a reference to that
        very state->fb and bad things start to happen.
      
      Fix this all by applying the same duct-tape as for the legacy setcrtc
      ioctl code and set crtc->primary->crtc properly.
