      ext4: fix no journal corruption with locale-gen · 5adfee9c
      Theodore Ts'o authored 
      If there is no journal, ext4_should_writeback_data() should return
TRUE.  This will fix ext4_set_aops() to set ext4_da_ops in the case of
delayed allocation; otherwise ext4_journaled_aops gets used by
default, which doesn't handle delayed allocation properly.

The advantage of using ext4_should_writeback_data() approach is that
it should handle nobh better as well.

Thanks to Curt Wohlgemuth for investigating this problem, and Aneesh
Kumar for suggesting this approach.

      ext4: Fix truncation of symlinks after failed write · ffacfa7a
      Jan Kara authored 
      Contents of long symlinks is written via standard write methods. So
when the write fails, we add inode to orphan list. But symlinks don't
have .truncate method defined so nobody properly removes them from the
on disk orphan list.

Fix this by calling ext4_truncate() directly instead of calling
vmtruncate() (which is saner anyway since we don't need anything
vmtruncate() does except from calling .truncate in these paths).  We
also add inode to orphan list only if ext4_can_truncate() is true
(currently, it can be false for symlinks when there are no blocks
allocated) - otherwise orphan list processing will complain and
ext4_truncate() will not remove inode from on-disk orphan list.

      jbd2: Fix a race between checkpointing code and journal_get_write_access() · f91d1d04
      Jan Kara authored 
      The following race can happen:

 CPU1                          CPU2
                               checkpointing code checks the buffer, adds
                                 it to an array for writeback
 do_get_write_access()
 ...
 lock_buffer()
 unlock_buffer()
                               flush_batch() submits the buffer for IO
 __jbd2_journal_file_buffer()

So a buffer under writeout is returned from
do_get_write_access(). Since the filesystem code relies on the fact
that journaled buffers cannot be written out, it does not take the
buffer lock and so it can modify buffer while it is under
writeout. That can lead to a filesystem corruption if we crash at the
right moment.

We fix the problem by clearing the buffer dirty bit under buffer_lock
even if the buffer is on BJ_None list. Actually, we clear the dirty
bit regardless the list the buffer is in and warn about the fact if
the buffer is already journalled.

Thanks for spotting the problem goes to dingdinghua <dingdinghua85@gmail.com>.

      ext4: naturally align struct ext4_allocation_request · 726447d8
      Eric Sandeen authored 
      As Ted noted, the ext4_allocation_request isn't well aligned.  Looking
at it with pahole we're wasting space on 64-bit arches:

struct ext4_allocation_request {
        struct inode *             inode;              /*     0     8 */
        ext4_lblk_t                logical;            /*     8     4 */

        /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

        ext4_fsblk_t               goal;               /*    16     8 */
        ext4_lblk_t                lleft;              /*    24     4 */

        /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

        ext4_fsblk_t               pleft;              /*    32     8 */
        ext4_lblk_t                lright;             /*    40     4 */

        /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

        ext4_fsblk_t               pright;             /*    48     8 */
        unsigned int               len;                /*    56     4 */
        unsigned int               flags;              /*    60     4 */
        /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */

        /* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 9 */
        /* sum members: 52, holes: 3, sum holes: 12 */
};

Grouping 32-bit members together closes these holes and shrinks the
structure by 12 bytes. which is important since ext4 can get on the
hairy edge of stack overruns.

      ext4: mark several more functions in mballoc.c as noinline · 089ceecc
      Eric Sandeen authored 
      Ted noticed a stack-deep callchain through
writepages->ext4_mb_regular_allocator->ext4_mb_init_cache->submit_bh ...

With all the static functions in mballoc.c, gcc helpfully
inlines for us, and we get something like this:

ext4_mb_regular_allocator	(232 bytes stack)
	ext4_mb_init_cache	(232 bytes stack)
		submit_bh	(starts 464 deeper)

the 2 ext4 functions here get several others inlined; by telling
gcc not to inline them, we can save stack space for when we
head off into submit_bh land and associated block layer callchains.
The following noinlined functions are only called once, so this
won't impact any other callchains:

ext4_mb_regular_allocator 			(104) (was 232)
	ext4_mb_find_by_goal			 (56) (noinlined)
	ext4_mb_init_group			 (24) (noinlined)
		ext4_mb_init_cache		(136) (was 232)
			ext4_mb_generate_buddy	 (88) (noinlined)
			ext4_mb_generate_from_pa (40) (noinlined)
			submit_bh
	ext4_mb_simple_scan_group		 (24) (noinlined)
	ext4_mb_scan_aligned			 (56) (noinlined)
	ext4_mb_complex_scan_group		 (40) (noinlined)
	ext4_mb_try_best_found			 (24) (noinlined)

now when we head off into submit_bh() we're only 264 bytes deeper
in stack than when we entered ext4_mb_regular_allocator()
(vs. 464 bytes before).  Every 200 bytes helps.  :)

      ext4: Fix potential reclaim deadlock when truncating partial block · f4a01017
      Theodore Ts'o authored 
      The ext4_block_truncate_page() function previously called
grab_cache_page(), which called find_or_create_page() with the
__GFP_FS flag potentially set.  This could cause a deadlock if the
system is low on memory and it attempts a memory reclaim, which could
potentially call back into ext4.  So we need to call
find_or_create_page() directly, and remove the __GFP_FP flag to avoid
this potential deadlock.

Thanks to Roland Dreier for reporting a lockdep warning which showed
this problem.
