Some callers of ext4_es_remove_extent() and ext4_es_insert_extent() may not be completely robust against ENOMEM failures (or the consequences of reflecting ENOMEM back up to userspace may lead to xfstest or user application failure). To mitigate against this, when trying to insert an entry in the extent status tree, try to shrink the inode's extent status tree before returning ENOMEM. If there are entries which don't record information about extents under delayed allocations, freeing one of them is preferable to returning ENOMEM.

In ext4_ext_map_blocks(), if we have successfully allocated the data blocks, but then run into trouble inserting the extent into the extent tree, most likely due to an ENOSPC condition, determine the arguments to ext4_free_blocks() in a simpler way which is easier to prove to be correct.

Previously ext4_ext_truncate() was ignoring potential error returns from ext4_es_remove_extent() and ext4_ext_remove_space(). This can lead to the on-diks extent tree and the extent status tree cache getting out of sync, which is particuarlly bad, and can lead to file system corruption and potential data loss.

The filesystem should not be marked inconsistent if ext4_free_blocks() is not able to allocate memory. Unfortunately some callers (most notably ext4_truncate) don't have a way to reflect an error back up to the VFS. And even if we did, most userspace applications won't deal with most system calls returning ENOMEM anyway.

If there are a lot of outstanding buffered IOs when a device is taken offline (due to hardware errors etc), ext4_end_bio prints out a message for each failed logical block. While this is desirable, we see thousands of such lines being printed out before the serial console gets overwhelmed, causing ext4_end_bio() wait for the printk to complete. This in itself isn't a disaster, except for the detail that this function is being called with the queue lock held. This causes any other function in the block layer to spin on its spin_lock_irqsave while the serial console is draining. If NMI watchdog is enabled on this machine then it eventually comes along and shoots the machine in the head. The end result is that losing any one disk causes the machine to go down. This patch rate limits the printk to bandaid around the problem.

The following race can lead to ext4_evict_inode() seeing i_ioend_count > 0 and thus triggering a sanity check warning: CPU1 CPU2 ext4_end_bio() ext4_evict_inode() ext4_finish_bio() end_page_writeback(); truncate_inode_pages() evict page WARN_ON(i_ioend_count > 0); ext4_put_io_end_defer() ext4_release_io_end() dec i_ioend_count This is possible use-after-free bug since we decrement i_ioend_count in possibly released inode. Since i_ioend_count is used only for sanity checks one possible solution would be to just remove it but for now I'd like to keep those sanity checks to help debugging the new ext4 writeback code. This patch changes ext4_end_bio() to call ext4_put_io_end_defer() before ext4_finish_bio() in the shortcut case when unwritten extent conversion isn't needed. In that case we don't need the io_end so we are safe to drop it early.

The function ext4_get_group_number() was introduced as an optimization in commit bd86298e.

Both hole punch and truncate use ext4_ext_rm_leaf() for removing blocks. Currently we choose the last extent as the starting point for removing blocks: ex = EXT_LAST_EXTENT(eh); This is OK for truncate but for hole punch we can optimize the extent selection as the path is already initialized. We could use this information to select proper starting extent. The code change in this patch will not affect truncate as for truncate path[depth].p_ext will always be NULL.

If jbd2_journal_restart() fails the handle will have been disconnected from the current transaction. In this situation, the handle must not be used for for any jbd2 function other than jbd2_journal_stop(). Enforce this with by treating a handle which has a NULL transaction pointer as an aborted handle, and issue a kernel warning if jbd2_journal_extent(), jbd2_journal_get_write_access(), jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), etc. is called with an invalid handle. This commit also fixes a bug where jbd2_journal_stop() would trip over a kernel jbd2 assertion check when trying to free an invalid handle. Also move the responsibility of setting current->journal_info to start_this_handle(), simplifying the three users of this function.

The function mpage_released_unused_page() must only be called once; otherwise the kernel will BUG() when the second call to mpage_released_unused_page() tries to unlock the pages which had been unlocked by the first call. Also restructure the error handling so that we only give up on writing the dirty pages in the case of ENOSPC where retrying the allocation won't help. Otherwise, a transient failure, such as a kmalloc() failure in calling ext4_map_blocks() might cause us to give up on those pages, leading to a scary message in /var/log/messages plus data loss.

Once we decrement transaction->t_updates, if this is the last handle holding the transaction from closing, and once we release the t_handle_lock spinlock, it's possible for the transaction to commit and be released. In practice with normal kernels, this probably won't happen, since the commit happens in a separate kernel thread and it's unlikely this could all happen within the space of a few CPU cycles. On the other hand, with a real-time kernel, this could potentially happen, so save the tid found in transaction->t_tid before we release t_handle_lock. It would require an insane configuration, such as one where the jbd2 thread was set to a very high real-time priority, perhaps because a high priority real-time thread is trying to read or write to a file system. But some people who use real-time kernels have been known to do insane things, including controlling laser-wielding industrial robots. :-) Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

Now we maintain an proper in-order LRU list in ext4 to reclaim entries from extent status tree when we are under heavy memory pressure. For keeping this order, a spin lock is used to protect this list. But this lock burns a lot of CPU time. We can use the following steps to trigger it. % cd /dev/shm % dd if=/dev/zero of=ext4-img bs=1M count=2k % mkfs.ext4 ext4-img % mount -t ext4 -o loop ext4-img /mnt % cd /mnt % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do truncate -s 64g $i; done % for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do cp $i /dev/null &; done % perf record -a -g % perf report This commit tries to fix this problem. Now a new member called i_touch_when is added into ext4_inode_info to record the last access time for an inode. Meanwhile we never need to keep a proper in-order LRU list. So this can avoid to burns some CPU time. When we try to reclaim some entries from extent status tree, we use list_sort() to get a proper in-order list. Then we traverse this list to discard some entries. In ext4_sb_info, we use s_es_last_sorted to record the last time of sorting this list. When we traverse the list, we skip the inode that is newer than this time, and move this inode to the tail of LRU list. When the head of the list is newer than s_es_last_sorted, we will sort the LRU list again. In this commit, we break the loop if s_extent_cache_cnt == 0 because that means that all extents in extent status tree have been reclaimed. Meanwhile in this commit, ext4_es_{un}register_shrinker()'s prototype is changed to save a local variable in these functions.

If memory allocation in ext4_mb_new_group_pa() is failed, it returns error code, ext4_mb_new_preallocation() propages it, but ext4_mb_new_blocks() ignores it. An observed result was: - allocation fail means ext4_mb_new_group_pa() does not update ext4_allocation_context; - ext4_mb_new_blocks() sets ext4_allocation_request->len (ar->len = ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len;) to number of blocks preallocated (512) instead of number of blocks requested (1); - that activates update cycle in ext4_splice_branch(): for (i = 1; i < blks; i++) <-- blks is 512 instead of 1 here *(where->p + i) = cpu_to_le32(current_block++); - it iterates 511 times and corrupts a chunk of memory including inode structure; - page fault happens at EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb) in ext4_mark_inode_dirty(); - system hangs with 'scheduling while atomic' BUG.

The bit_spinlock functions are only used for the jbd_lock_bh_state functions (and friends) in jbd_common.h and are not directly used by either of jbd.h or jbd2.h content. The jbd_common file is new as of commit 44606672 ("jdb/jbd2: factor out common functions from the jbd[2] header files") but common (and isolated) headers were not considered for factoring at that time.

Currently we see this output: $git grep phase fs/jbd2 fs/jbd2/commit.c: jbd_debug(3, "JBD2: commit phase 1\n"); fs/jbd2/commit.c: jbd_debug(3, "JBD2: commit phase 2\n"); fs/jbd2/commit.c: jbd_debug(3, "JBD2: commit phase 2\n"); fs/jbd2/commit.c: jbd_debug(3, "JBD2: commit phase 3\n"); fs/jbd2/commit.c: jbd_debug(3, "JBD2: commit phase 4\n"); [...] There is clearly a duplicate label for phase 2, and they are both active (i.e. not in #if ... #else block). Rename them to be "2a" and "2b" so the debug output is unambiguous. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

And then, as we are waiting, journal_commit_transaction can run, and if the JBD2_FLUSHED bit is set, then we will also try to take the same checkpoint_mutex. It seems that we need to drop the checkpoint_mutex while sitting in jbd2_log_wait_commit, if we want to guarantee that progress can be made by jbd2_journal_commit_transaction(). There does not seem to be anything preempt-rt specific about this, other then perhaps increasing the odds of it happening.

The state lock is taken after we are doing an assert on the state value, not before. So we might in fact be doing an assert on a transient value.

Current implementation of jbd2_journal_force_commit() is suboptimal because result in empty and useless commits. But callers just want to force and wait any unfinished commits. We already have jbd2_journal_force_commit_nested() which does exactly what we want, except we are guaranteed that we do not hold journal transaction open.

Commit 18888cf0: "ext4: speed up truncate/unlink by not using bforget() unless needed" removed the use of EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET in the most important codepath for file systems using extents, but a similar optimization also can be done for file systems using indirect blocks, and for the two special cases in the ext4 extents code.

For a file systems with a very large number of block groups, if all of the block group bitmaps are in memory and the file system is relatively badly fragmented, it's possible ext4_mb_regular_allocator() to take a long time trying to find a good match. This is especially true if the tuning parameter mb_max_to_scan has been sent to a very large number. So add a cond_resched() to avoid soft lockup warnings and to provide better system responsiveness. For ext4_free_blocks(), if we are deleting a large range of blocks, and data=journal is enabled so that EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET is passed, the loop to call sb_find_get_block() and to call ext4_forget() can take over 10-15 milliseocnds or more. So it's better to add a cond_resched() here a well. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

Rename ext4_da_writepages() to ext4_writepages() and use it for all modes. We still need to iterate over all the pages in the case of data=journalling, but in the case of nodelalloc/data=ordered (which is what file systems mounted using ext3 backwards compatibility will use) this will allow us to use a much more efficient I/O submission path.
